Polaroid transfer and similar techniques such as emulsion transfer have become popular in the evolving art of photography. This process consists of exposing peel-apart Polaroid film sheet; the negative portion is pressed onto another surface, such as watercolor TP, HC, or wood, to create a new positive. The interaction of chemicals and the receiving surface give every Polaroid transfer image a distinctive look. In addition to covering the basic concepts of Polaroid and emulsion transfers, this book also features new systems and ideas for using and modifying these techniques to create unique works of art. Each technique is thoroughly explained and illustrated.
