Experimental Photography: Polaroid Transfers

Video Transcript

"What I am going to talk about right now is this tool, this machine that is used to make Polaroid transfers. Now, Polaroid transfer is technically an image that you take and you put onto this Polaroid film. You can actually use Fuji film. Fuji film makes a nice instant pack film now too. You can use either or. They are both just as good as each other. Kind of expensive though. This film roughly costs about $25 a box for 20 sheets. So this process is not one of the cheaper processes. But definitely one of the most fun processes you could possibly do. The idea behind this process and this machine is that essentially you can have a flat color image. You could even have a color digital image that if you make a print out you could put flat on this piece of glass right here. You close this down and in here is where your film goes. This film is very fragile. There is no film in here right now but if there was the pack goes right in like this. Close it, shut it and I am just about ready to go."
