Shake it baby. Polaroid.


In a recent interview by Style Street I revealed a new project I’m currently working on.

A little book of Polaroids. Here is a sample.










A portrait of Amber Valletta and myself.


Style Street: So why blog?

Jean-Paul Rosette: My friends are black collar workers, so when I asked them what they were working on, they would show me their CD, building, short film etc, and I felt like I didn’t really have anything physical to show besides the photo shoot or magazine spread, so the blog is my way of addressing that. Perhaps it’s my reflection on the semi-permanent nature of hairdressing. And a way of sketching out ideas and my thoughts about current trends and the industry.

Street Style: Future plans.

Jean-Paul Rosette: Putting together a little book of Polaroids. I’ve taken thousands of these things over the years. I like the format. It’s imperfect, instant and disposable all at the same time.

  1. This will be great, any ideas when the book might be ready? Also do you know when the shot with Alyssa Sutherland was taken? Thanks! :D

  2. Alyssa Sutherland's photo was taken by myself circa 1998
