The Now takes that simplicity and adds greater creative control, clean design, and vibrant color. This series is an evolution of the original Polaroid OneStep cameras from the ‘70s that made photography effortless for everyone. Polaroid Now Camera - Point, shoot, and keep: it’s that simple with the Polaroid Now. Perfect for capturing memories on the go. There are a number of other YouTube videos that show how individual artists are doing their own transfers/lifting.Polaroid Go Camera - The worlds smallest instant film camera. Hmmm…I just might?! □Īnyhow, on with the link to this particular technique of Polaroid Emulsion Transfer, or in this case, more accurately described as Polaroid Emulsion Lift, as that is essentially what you’re doing – Lifting the entire emulsion layer off the Polaroid film and then Transferring it onto another substrate. I’m quite drawn to the Fuji Instax Mini 90’s Neo Classic myself, for its cool retro looks. Fuji have also come up with a modern-day Polaroid camera, the Fuji Instax which comes in a variety of designs and sizes. This particular technique involves the use of Fuji Instant film FP-100C, which emulates and is essentially identical to the old Polaroid peel-apart film Polacolor 669, which is discontinued. Incidentally, since I moved to Australia, where the climate is much warmer and drier, my off-and-on arthritis appears to have gone away for a while). ![]() (I’ve nothing against mess and wet, but I once considered taking up felting, soap-making and creating my own handmade papers – all of which involve immersing my hands in water for long periods of time, which would no doubt have made the arthritis in my fingers worse over the years. ![]() But I thought I’d share it with you, dear readers, in case you may be interested enough to try it for yourselves. I came across this alternative technique – Polaroid Emulsion Transfers, just the other day, and was immediately intrigued. IMHO it looks kind of messy and involved, and wet, and the results can be either brilliant or a complete scrunched up or holey failure. I have also produced “perfect” prints on glossy photographic paper, which I then stuck onto wooden panels, to create “perfect” ready-to-hang art…but I feel that’s too easy. So far, my best results have been (temperamental printer notwithstanding) printing on baking parchment and then pasting the print onto wooden panels or stretched canvasses. I myself shoot with a Samsung Galaxy S4 mobile phone, and process my images on the same device, but when it comes to printing my images, I will use or try just about anything that works – it’s all trial and error for me, and all the more fun that way. It all depends on what you’re after, as an artist. ![]() Some people go for the most expensive equipment, or the best (which oftentimes is the most expensive anyway), while others strive towards simplicity or minimalism, yet others yearn for the good old days of Polaroids and Holgas with their nostalgic light leaks and blurriness. We live in exciting times where we are spoilt for choice. I’m fascinated by alternative photographic processes, whether in the actual taking of a photograph, or in developing an image, right down to the printing process. ![]()
