The death of the polaroid...

All these were taken using Polaroid ArTzistic Fade to Black film. They were taken in Hunstanton on the Norfolk Coast.

The film is a special type, where if you leave the polaroid 'as is' once you have taken the picture, it will eventually turn black.

So people have come up with ways to fix the images.

The two above are the negatives of the polaroid. I really loved the colours and shapes that were produced on the bottom one. The image itself was very vague, but this made for an interesting back!

Here are three images I'm working on for my 'Shaping Mmeory' project. I've taken inspiration from a Japanese 'Golden Half' camera. They have been taken on Kodak Elite Chrome film, & cross processed.

I reworked the first image (above) in the darkroom adding cyan & yellow filters...
