Polaroid Food Dye Experiment - Own Photographs

After developing the photographs I decided to experiment with placing food dye over the top of these to add additional colour to these. This experiment was an attempt to try and emulate William Miller's work.


This was the first attempt at using food dye on the polaroids, for this I used the colour blue. This creates a more abstract appearance to the polaroid while highlighting the different areas of the photograph. The food dye didn't work as well ass expected due to the plastic film covering the polaroid, preventing the dye from sinking into the photograph. Therefore rather than scanning these to to the computer a digital photograph was used to evidenced this experiment. 


This was the second attempt at adding food dye over the polaroids. This time I used two colours,  blue and red, the reason being is that I wanted to add more colour to the polaroid rather than adding one additional colour. Again, this gives a more abstract feel to the polaroid as this covers different areas of the polaroid. I don't think that this attempt worked well due to the dye not settling into the photograph due to the film covering the polaroid. 


This was the final attempt at this experiment, this time I used the colour red to cover the photograph. This didn't work as well as expected due to the colour not settling within the photograph, as well as this I think too much dye was added to the photograph, covering a large area of the photograph.
