“"These photographs are intended to transcend the technique

and to become a conversation, a song, a poem, in the eyes of the viewer.”

Polaroid Manipulations and Transfers

Polaroid Manipulations make use of Polaroid SX-70 film. The emulsion layer of the Polaroid is manipulated by applying pressure on the outer layer of the photograph. The print is then scanned, enlarged and printed. Polaroid Image Transfer makes use of peel-apart Polaroid film. The dye-laden negative is peeled apart early and rolled onto watercolor paper. Polaroid provides an extremely versatile vehicle for the visual artist, allowing for images with a painterly quality.

 

Infrared Photography

Infrared-the film or image sensor used is sensitive to infrared light. Usually an "infrared filter" is used; this lets infrared light pass through to the camera but blocks all or most of the visible light spectrum. When these filters are used together with infrared-sensitive film or sensors, very interesting effects can be obtained that result in a dreamlike appearance.

 

 

Hand Colored Photographs

• - Many of our Polaroids, b/w, sepia and infrared photographs are hand-colored by adding watercolors, oils, pastels, or inks to create many different effects. Originals are sold as well as archival reproductions.
