Creating Polaroid Transfers

Many habitancy have told me that the first time they saw replacement image and emulsion transfers; they were fully enchanted and wanted to find out how these processes are done. About half of my workshop participants have never been complicated in photography or any other art form but want to originate transfers. They bring old family slides and trip pictures, or borrow images to use. Because the processes are relatively easy, these habitancy often leave my workshops with master­pieces after just one afternoon of hands-on experience.

The other workshop participants are professionals who have been work­ing in photography or as artists in discrete media for many years, and who want to examine added techniques. So in response to the needs of begin­ners, intermediates, and professionals, I've poured almost everything I know about replacement image and emulsion transfers into this book. No matter what level you are at, you, too, can, in little more than an after­noon of application, have the satisfaction of development your own masterpieces.

Creating a Transfer

Basically, to originate an image or emulsion transfer, you expose an image on­to extended range peel-apart film via one of three methods: using a camera with a film holder to expose an image directly onto film; using an enlarger to task a slide, trans­parency, or negative onto film; using a slide printer to replacement 35mm slides or negatives onto film. Whichever method you choose, the key ingredient is the film holder. These print films have three main parts: a light-sensitive negative containing dyes, a definite that receives the image from the negative, and a foil pod con­taining adequate developing reagent to create one picture. As you pull the film through the steel rollers in the film holder, the pod is broken, and the developer spreads evenly over the film. The dyes then migrate from the negative to the definite (see the drawing below).

To originate a image transfer, instead of letting the film create fully onto the definite print for the usual 6o to 90 seconds, you pull apart the film early, after io to 15 seconds. Next, you place the negative face down on an additional one surface, such as dampened water­color paper, and press it with a roller. The dyes from the negative contin­ue developing and in the process are "transferred" onto the chosen recep­tor surface. After i to 2. Minutes, you slowly peel the negative off the receptor surface. Discard the negative. (Because little dye is left in the negative, you can't it for an additional one transfer-unless only a faint ghost image is desired.) You can then manipulate the resulting image on its new covering by scraping and rubbing the still-wet dyes of the emulsion before it dries. And after the replacement dries, you can added apply your creative touch by hand coloring the transferred image. Emulsion transfers have been called the next step in the cre­ative process of transferred and manipulated images. Emulsion transfers are much bolder and more colorful and dynamic than the subtle image transfers. Although you work with the same equipment and film for emulsion transfers as for image transfers, the results are fully differ­ent. Instead of using the negative, you use the definite part of the peel-apart film. During this process, the image is exposed, and the print is fully industrialized for 6o to 90 seconds. Next, remove the transparent emulsion layer by soaking the industrialized print in hot water. Once the emulsion is loose, in cold water detach it from its backing. At this point, you can replacement the thin emulsion sculpt, stretch, wrinkle, and tear it into dissimilar shapes; and hand color it if you want to.

One of the best parts about both the image- and emulsion-transfer processes is that you don't need a great deal of costly photographic equipment and supplies, or a darkroom. You also don't need a photogra­phy background since the technical basics are quite simple. Beginning with good images (35mm slides are the best to begin with for slide printers) does help, but a range of subjects and images will work beautifully.
