Polaroid Transfers: Art work by Joan Mumbauer and Jeanne Germani

I was researching for information on image transferring and came across these beautiful polaroid transfers on the www.art-e-zine.co.uk website. I found them so inspiring and I'd love to try the technique out myself.

The soft, muted colours and faded edges give them a beautiful nostalgic quality and  I love the subject matter of the old abandoned fairground rides. Here are some examples of Joan Mumbauer's work. Unfortunatly it was hard to find more information on her and these pictures are all I could find of her work in the internet. If anyone comes across anything else by her, I would love to see it!Arn't they stunning! There's some information on the techniques she uses here."Joan Mumbauer is a photographer from Warminster, Pennsylvania a suburb twenty miles north of Philadelphia. Joan has been working on a process called Polaroid Transfer. The past two years she has been exploring the world of amusement parks. The Polaroid Transfers gives her a feel of nostalgia, just like the feeling she gets when standing amongst the rides. She has a fascination with color, movement and old fashion fun that can be found in these parks where the world of technology has not seemed to touch." - Amazing!"The Polaroid transfers are images at Morey's Pier in Wildwood, New Jersey and Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg, Pennsylvania. The images are all taken with Fuji slide film Provia 400 and then made into transfers using Polaroid Pack Film Type 669, the Polaroid Daylab Junior and Arches Hot Press Paper. " Some of Jeanne Germani's work:She has a softer colour palette and seems to work with natural subjects such flowers, leaves, petals and fruit. See her work here and here
