POLAROID EMULSION LIFT FREE
Note that the free floating emulsion looks like a jellyfish! It’s pretty simple however, detailed video instructions are found on the Jellyfishphoto website. The emulsion is then pushed away from the plastic base and floated onto paper or some other receiving medium. This will slowly-but-surely separate the emulsion from the. The process of creating the emulsion transfer is quite similar to that of a Polaroid – you soak the printed transparency in a tray of water for several minutes to soften the adhesive holding the emulsion to transparent base. Just cut the edges off your Polaroid print, submerge it in water, and then use a brush to gently move water up underneath the emulsion. Polaroid and film photography diehards may take exception, but it's clear to me that this mixed digital/analog workflow has significant creative potential here. There are, to my mind, some benefits to this inkjet process, most notably 1) the ability to create a larger transfer since one is not limited to the size of the Polaroid, and 2) the overarching image appearance and output can be finely controlled via Photoshop prior to emulsion printing. The purpose of this post is to share my results and some information if you’d like to experiment too. As soon as I get film for my new Polaroid camera, Id love to play around with this process. She specializes in 'lifts', where a Polaroid has been soaked in hot water until the top emulsion layer floats off the backing.
As you might imagine, I thought the idea was interesting and decided to try it out. Im completely captivated by these dreamy nature images by Corinne Heraud. Jellyfishphoto uniquely markets to photographers a new way to lift photo emulsions onto alternative medium reminiscent of the Polaroid emulsion lift process using inkjet water slide transparencies. A while back, while exploring the world of Polaroid on the internet, I ran into a printing company website called Jellyfishphoto.
