Polaroid image transfer is the artistic process of creating photographic art by hand.
In a normal Polaroid instant film process, chemicals on the film negative develop into an instant image on the film positive which is the actual print.
In Polaroid image transfer process however, we transfer the image from the film negative onto any medium that the chemicals will adhere to, such as art paper, silk, wood, glass, ceramic or any surface the print chemicals will stick to.
The process involves the transfer of photographic chemicals on the Polaroid film negative evenly rolled onto in this instance art paper using a hand-roller within a certain time frame so that the image is transferred onto the art paper instead of the film positive before the chemicals dry out because in a Polaroid instant film the printing of the film is near instant (hence its name instant film) but usually within 60-120 seconds.
This means each Polaroid image transfer artwork is unique, individual and highly collectible, since no two Polaroid image transfers can ever be exactly the same due to the individualistic nature and process of image transfers in terms of time, speed and length of hand-rolling of image onto the art paper. It can be art paper but it can also be any other flat surface as the chosen medium to which the image will adhere to, such as silk, wood, ceramic, tiles, glass and so on.
