Polar ring galaxies are early type galaxies (S0 disks or ellipticals) that have rings of gas, dust, and stars in rotation on orbits approximately perpendicular to the plane of their central disks. These unusual galaxies are believed to be the product of galaxy interactions. We present CCD images of one kinematically confirmed polar ring galaxy and three other polar ring galaxy candidates obtained with the ESO 2.2-m EFOSC II. The images are used to obtain position angles of the polar ring and central disk, measure the degree of warp in the ring, and derive luminosity profiles. Illustrative examples are shown from our U, B, V, R, and I images of A0136-0801 and our R images of A2330-3751, A2350-4042, and IC51. Luminosity profiles are compared to expectations for exponential disk models and R(-0.25) elliptical profiles.
