Disgraceland II

Polaroid transfers are an alternative process photographic technique. 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 that has a dated, artistic photo-painting appearance. Exposure, development, pressure, time, paper and other variables make each print an original mono-print.
