Polaroid Transfer Photography
When my wife and I were in Soho, we saw a street artist (I think she was Russian or Latvian or something and her name was Anais) with a table full of beautiful portraits. They kind of looked like photographs, but then they had the look of a water color painting at the same time. As it turns out, they were the result of a process that I had never heard of before -- the Polaroid Transfer.
I fell in love with the look of the portraits, and upon arriving home I've done a google search and learned how to do it myself. I've ordered the photo pan, the watercolor paper, the film, the rollers (I already have a polaroid back for my Mamiya 645 medium format camera) and they've all arrive -- I'm just waiting on some books from Amazon (darn that free super saver shipping, I can never pass it up and then I end up waiting so long) now before I start, because the film is too expensive to just start blindly experimenting.
I'll post some of the results here.
