When
Polaroid announced that it was discontinuing production of
my favorite PN 55 film I bought up every box that I could
find and added it to my existing stock - most of which was
already well out of date. Although the majority of my work
uses digital processes I also enjoy working with a large
format, film based system. Ironically, the Polaroid films
still create finished images much quicker than a digital
system.
For this series of images I use an integrated workflow that
combines traditional, alternative and digital processes. I
use my PN 55 negatives to create the cyanotypes on textured
watercolor paper, which are then scanned before “finishing”
digitally.
