Thanks for visiting my shop dedicated to alternative photographic techniques!

Most of the processes I feature in my shop are polaroid transfers and emulsion lifts. A polaroid transfer is made by first creating a peel apart polaroid. Then, before it has time to develop, peeling it apart and placing it onto an absorbent surface like watercolor or printmaking paper. An emulsion lift is made by literally boiling off the emulsion of a fully developed polaroid, then affixing it to any surface!

I'd like to share a little bit about my own work! All photos are taken by me. I take great care and pride in creating and assembling each piece.

My original polaroid transfers are all transferred on Fabriano watercolor paper, which is made with no animal sizing! Because of the transfer technique, all originals are made from one polaroid and may vary in appearance from others made of the same subject. All prints are archival inkjet prints on Arches Infinity paper. My emulsion lifts are almost always on glass. All mats are hand cut by me! I ONLY use acid free materials.

Larger prints/mats are always available upon request!
