I took 6 images in the style of David Hockney and tucked them away in my homemade box to dry.Ī day later, once the prints had fully dried, I pulled the materials out of the Polaroid Emulsion/Image Transfer Kit and gathered anything else I needed. I had Stephanie sit on a bench and started snapping away with a Polaroid 100 Land Camera. About 1/2 way through the shoot, we came to the spot I had planned on using for the collage of emulsion transfers. The only issue was we had to walk about 2-3 miles total to get to all of them (sorry again ladies. I had been to the Heard before with Synthia and remembered where some of the nicer ‘available light’ locations were. The shoot was a blast! Stephanie & Sandy were in great spirits the whole time as I took them on a wild goose chase of a photoshoot. We discussed possible locations the day before and decided on using The Heard Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney. It didn’t quite dawn on me until a day or so before the shoot, but I knew that a collage of emulsion transfers would be a really cool fit for Stephanie’s portrait (out of the box? √ ). The week of the Stephanie’s shoot came up and I had been toying around with emulsion lifts/transfers. I opened it up, saw that the deal was good and paid the kind lady. The owner laughed, smiled and told me that she’d be willing to make a deal with me. I took a deep breath, blew the top of the box and a cloud of dust flew through the store. I grabbed the box and white flakes came floating down all over me. I asked the owner if I could pull it down to look at it. For some reason or another, I had never seen the brand-new-in-box Polaroid Emulsion/Image Transfer Kit that was sitting waaaay up high on the shelf. Now, I’ve been to this place a kajillion times and I always browse through almost everything when I’m there. I racked my brain for a ideas and came up with a couple decent ones but never had “it” figured out.Ībout a week later, I went to The Film Depot in Richardson to pick up some film sleeves for the 120 & FP-100C I’d been shooting. When Sandy first approached me, she mentioned that along with the some of the more traditional headshot images, she also wanted something out of the box for Stephanie’s portrait. Stephanie is a writer/activist who promotes the empowerment of women & children in the states & abroad. The wonderful Sandy Hibbard, of Lyric Marketing & Design, hired me again this past week to take photos for a client of hers, Stephanie McAndrew.
