Polaroid Transfers

My current passion is an alternative photographic process called Polaroid transfers. Each polaroid transfer is hand-made by the photographer using specific materials and equipment to achieve a desired effect. A transparency is projected on to professional Polaroid print film and as development begins, the print and chemicals are prematurely separated. The image is transferred on to dampened watercolor paper for a unique image which has a dated artistic photo-painting appearance. Exposure, development, pressure, time, paper and other variables make each print an original mono-print. Since the negative is destroyed in the process, no two images will ever look alike.

I am an award winning photographer whose prints are in numerous national and international collections.

I like your comments on Polaroid Transfers. I had a brief fling with these in a studio in Chicago a number of years ago,

I loved every minute!
