Alexandra Warshaw is a new comer to the world of presentation art. A few years ago Alexandra saw a brief segment on the concept of Polaroid Manipulation on a TV news program, she was so fascinated she taught herself this unique art.
First, a special Polaroid camera and film are used to take the photo. Then the Polaroid is immediately exposed to the sun or another type of heat source until the emulsion becomes pliable. The next step is to use a tool to manipulate or maneuver the emulsion until the desired effect is achieved. Alexandra chooses to use a golf tee to accomplish a softer, less defined look.
"I have met only a few other artists who work in the same medium and each photo is a new experience with its own process and life." — A.Warshaw
