THE ARTISTS
Artistic approach
« In my current reasearch, I use photography as a medium to create a personnal imagery through a transfer of the polaroïd emulsion on rag paper with watercolor touch up over certain areas of the image. I use handpainted backdrops for the flowers that I photograph ; I sometimes take for matrix the polaroïd SX70 which I « engrave » with a smooth needle. I photograph again this polaroïd before I transfer the emulsion on a watercolor paper. I then take advantage of the irregularities and transparencies of the emulsion to breed a new life to the image : smoother and warmer than regular photography, much in the spirit of a watercolor or of a drawing. »
