My biggest tipp for easy Emulsion Lifts: Use Black&White Polaroids (the surface is much tougher and seperates very easy) & SEPERATE the emulsion from the chemicals AS SOON AS THE PICTURE HAS DEVELOPED PROPERLY (15mins darkness at normal pocket temperature), I used to have a little box with parchment paper and a exacto knife to seperate the Polaroids on site when I was out and about, I cut away the chemcial backside and sandwhich the picture with parchment layer in the box, then later (same day) doing the lifts. The most important thing is to very slowly peel the picture apart and try not to have any of the white chemicals on the emulsion layer so you end up with what looks like a positive film slide. Having a whole layer of the chemical still on there will deteriate the picture very quckliy and it will become brittle.
I love what you’ve done with the emulsion. Way back in 1970’s I enjoyed messing with Poloroid film. If I recall, I would first insert a new film cassette into my SX70 camera in order to eject the dark slide. I would then remove the cassette and project my Kodachrome slides with my enlarger onto the unexposed top print. I then reinserted the cassette back in the camera for processing by simply depressing the shutter button, or it may have automatically ejected thinking it was a new cassette. I was able to repeat this process for each successive exposure. I believe there were 10. Of course everything was done in total darkness. I would even do double exposures. This all took lots of trail and error….and lots of wasted money on failures. I’m pretty sure Poloroid had a great deal back then if you bought their “special edition version” (same camera just a little more expensive) you could return images you didn’t like (I think they had to be in denominations of 10) and they would send you an equal amount of film at no cost. What I miss most of all was their Type 55 positive/negative 4x5 film.
My grandad gave me his old polaroid camera a few years ago. It had been left untouched since the 90s. It had 7 (obviously expired) photos left in it that I played around with. I made my sister take a photo of me and the dog and it is one of my favourite things. I watched this video today and for some reason decided to try it. I used a couple of less successful photos first and managed pretty well. I couldn't believe how quickly they came away from the plastic. Any remaining emulsion just lifted off and floated out of the way. I have now done the photo of me and my dog and it is my favourite thing I've ever done! Thank you for this tutorial - I like artists who wing it and find a way to make things accessible for us who like to experiment without having all the proper tools!
I’m catching some beautiful Bob Ross vibes from you in this video Matt! “I am by no means an expert. I just have a lot of fun with them!” ❤️ Thanks for sharing!
I didn’t even know you could do this until now! Just after watching the video I got some of my old Polaroids out (I’d say about 3 years old) and gave it a try with one I didn’t particularly like. It actually came out great! (for those wondering, as the Polaroid was old, it took me about 15 minutes to get it off the plastic). I’ll try tomorrow with one I actually like. Thank you for this video!
I just tried one I didn’t care about that was from 2008 and after an hour I gave up because I could not get it to separate it from the plastic. Oh well.
@@mattdayphoto Thanks Matt...you read my mind. She is definitely the artsy fartsy type and I know we will have a blast together. She is 13 years old and at the top of her class in math & science...so I better be careful!! lol!
Wow, what a great idea! At first, my thinking was along the lines of, "Why would you do that?" But then I see you picking up the small brush and toying away with the edges and I start thinking, "What an amazing idea! It's like making painting out of a photograph!" So creative, so inspiring! This gets me ever closer to shooting film!
I love polaroid transfers! I haven't done them in years, and appreciate the video as a refresher. Especially with the changes to films. when I did them I would manipulate the imagine on a plastic sleeve (instead of the water color paper) upside down in the water. The once I had it smoothed the way I wanted I then would move it to the paper. you do this while keeping on the plastic sleeve and sandwiching the image between that and the paper. then use a roller on top of the plastic sleeve to secure/transfer the image to the paper. Otherwise the process is the same as I remember!
I had no idea what an emulsion lift was before today but now I really want to try one out for myself. I didn't grow up with the initial polaroid craze, but I'm so glad this tech is getting a second life now!
Truly the best part of this “film photography renaissance” is that so many people are experiencing the process for the first time and maybe wouldn’t have otherwise. All about that!
I'm so glad I found your channel. My photography teacher at LCCin Kirtland Ohio did these beautifully. I always wondered how he did it. Looking forward to trying it.
I really enjoy these slow paced creative videos. Found your channel pretty recently and I'm so happy I did. Looking forward to seeing a video of what you've learnt. Happy new year!
Loving the new format. This process though reminds me that at one point in my life I was considering going to school to become a conservator but I was terrified someone would give me a bottle of acid, a fine brush and a Rembrandt and say "go to work".
Really enjoyed that video Matt! What an incredibly well produced video as well! Well done Matt. I’m a bit bummed out with TH-cam because I got your bell and I didn’t get the notification. Come on TH-cam. By now the algorithm should have figured out Matt Day is my number 1 go to on TH-cam! Oh well, great video again Matt.
Have been shooting Polaroid 600 and i-type, but just received my first SX-70 for Christmas. I am dying now to try this!! Thanks so much for all of your videos during the year, and for sharing so much of your knowledge and life.
Ahh, that’s so exciting that you just got your first SX-70. One of the best and such a game changer when you’re used to working with a traditional box style Polaroid camera. Have fun and happy new year!
Wow I loved this video Matt. I think I'm going to get a polaroid camera or one of those iPhone to polaroid printers and do some of these. A perfect way to have an analogue printing process for those of us without the space, time or money for a darkroom
I can't wait to try this. I just picked up a pad of hot pressed water color paper with the intention of doing cyanotype but now some of it will surely be used for this.
I've never heard of emulsion lifts, so this looked super fun and magical. What a creative way to reproduce Polaroids without having to take multiple exposures! Looking forward to the newsletter and happy New Year to you and the family, Matt!
Just to be clear, this is only something you can do once. For instance, you can’t make multiple lifts using the same Polaroid frame. You would need one exposed Polaroid per lift. (You may be fully aware of this, I just wanted to make sure to prevent losing a special Polaroid. 😅👍🏻) Thank you so much! Happy New Year to you too!
Applying the lift to a surface related to the image might be interesting. Good stuff, thank you. I think we all need things to do with our hands (not related to touching a screen or a fork).
Been loving the recent videos! Small question: does anything have to be done to preserve this,like some sort of clear coat? Or is it pretty much set aslong as it stays dry?
Just tried this today using the new Yellow 600 duochrome film, it literally flew off the plastic, but then decided to start folding up on itself so maybe the water was a bit too hot? Anyway pretty happy with this second try of mine
I was convinced that I held my breath for the entire video then saw how long it was! I've never seen this technique before and I found it almost meditative watching you. Have a wonderful NYE (all the family). I sense an amazing year ahead Matt, you seem much happier and settled despite everything that has happened. It shows!
Love how your lifts turned out! I want to try this for myself but I only have a couple of 2 years old Polaroid pics. Apparently it's best to do this as soon as possible after the picture is developed, but maybe it's still possible to do this with my old pics?
@@mattdayphoto fingers crossed another pull apart film comes out at a reasonable price point so we can all dust off our land cameras and day labs and get back to it :-)
Thank you for this video Matt. I was showing your older video to my boyfriend just few days ago, as I was thinking of doing this as a Christmas cards for close friends and family. :)
Seeing how the Impossible Project doesn't seem to be producing the emulsion lift kit any more, would you be willing to list the contents of the kit so those of us interested in doing this get a leg up by knowing what brushes and other tools to use? I know I would appreciate it.
Of course! The only identification is that the brand is Spürsinn and their numbers are only correlated to the order of steps in the emulsion lift. I wish it was more helpful!
Lifts are like Russian roulette - you can easily destroy a great shot! Your technique was as good as any that I’ve tried. It’s so easy to get a tear etc. I think yours turned out pretty good.
Hey Matt, love the video and you as a person! I just got a Instax square camera and am curious if you’d tried this technique, or if it’s possible, with fuji instax.
Thank you! I have never tried it with Fuji Instax personally. I’ve heard people say it’s not possible and I’ve heard some people say it is… maybe I should try it.
Awesome video! One of the best I've found for emulsion lifts! I have one issue with mine. When the paper dries (I'm using watercolor 300 grs), it dries bent, and I want it flat to put in a frame. So when flatten it out, it breaks the polaroid :s what am I doing wrong?
I know this video is a year old and this isnt exactly on tooic but im almost more interested jn how you got that good of photos with the now+ or a polaroid for that matter. Most reviews slam this camera for being awful yet the photos you breifly showed in the beginning looked amazing
Do you think doing an emulsion lift on those tiny "polaroid GO" would work the same? I want to try to make a emulsion lift collage with at least 3 packs worth and it'd be way cheaper to use go film.
your videos are great on the emulsion lifts and i have done several successful ones based on your guidelines. My question is Black and White polaroids - have you done any emulsion lifts with them. I have tried but they dont seem to lift / separate in the same way. its almost like there's a milky layer emulsion(?) that won't peel. the backing also doesn't lift and crack like the colour. i have also tried a lift with the circle frame and very limited success - results no where as good as just color.
When I try this my photo doesn’t stick to the clear plastic on the front but sticks to the back of the Polaroid, it takes all of the white layer with it and flakes off in the water, am I doing something wrong? Please help! 😅 I’m using Polaroid 600 colour film
I have never tried it with Fuji Instax personally. I’ve heard people say it’s not possible and I’ve heard some people say it is… maybe I should try it.
Never seen or heard of this before, looked pretty cool and fun to see the process. But I cant help to ask, but what is the purpose of doing this? I mean is it just for the fun of it or what?😅

Good looking out! I think I’m gonna get one of those Instant Lab setups specifically to get a fresh Polaroid for some lifts.
I was wondering why when I do the black and white Polaroids they are so brittle! Good to know, thank you!
You can freeze them if you don't want them to change over time. My wife gave me a corner in the freezer for that.
OK - Not that my ADHD brain needs another project, but I just ordered a Polaroid camera and some film. Inspired.

Love it...I'm going to pass this on to my granddaughter who just got a polaroid for Christmas
Love to hear this. You guys should do some together! ❤️

It took me 40min to get it right for my first attempt 😂😂 but the result is worth it! Thanks so much for the tutorial 😇

This is really interesting! I can see the amount of effort and patience that is exercised there.
In Analog Thing’s emulsion lift tutorial, he mentions a white layer that needs to be separated from the image. Is that only for B&W? Or color too?
This has to be my favorite tutorial from you. Instant film and hand crafted photo art have a special place in my heart. Thanks for this.
great video, I wonder how you would preserve that so that its archival. Any ideas?
Wow, I have never thought of you can produce such an art piece from a Polaroid picture! Thanks for producing the great contents on TH-cam!

did you use the special i-type film? or 600 color film?
Lifts are like Russian roulette - you can easily destroy a great shot! Your technique was as good as any that I’ve tried. It’s so easy to get a tear etc. I think yours turned out pretty good.

The separated photo looks almost alive, like a fish! Daaamn what a cool process, I never heard of this.
It’s so much fun.
@@mattdayphoto does it work for instax|? I think Polaroids have a different formula for the emulsion... not sure.
this was honestly so soothing, mood-lifting and peaceful. Thank you Matt for all your videos
Thank you for the love! ❤️
Could you advise please what current (2022) Polaroid film will this work with? Would be much appreciated. Want to get right equipment. Thanks.
When I try this my photo doesn’t stick to the clear plastic on the front but sticks to the back of the Polaroid, it takes all of the white layer with it and flakes off in the water, am I doing something wrong? Please help! 😅
I’m using Polaroid 600 colour film
can you do that with fuji polaroids??
That's a really fascinating technique, hadn't seen it before, cheers 🍻
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Hi Matt, just learning this technique. Does it work only with Polaroids? What about a regular photographs?
Never knew about this, looks like fun. If I don’t win your camera, 😃 I may have to find an old Polaroid at a thrift store. Happy New Year!
What film are you using!!! Thanks
Fantastic video. I’ve been very curious about this. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
That was so enjoyable to watch. Thanks Matt for sharing 🙏🏻🖤
Does this also work with Instax?
One way to find out!! fingers crossed
Unfortunately, it does not. Fuji uses a different chemistry.
I have never tried it with Fuji Instax personally. I’ve heard people say it’s not possible and I’ve heard some people say it is… maybe I should try it.
I tried this with duochrome film and I get a lot of discoloration. Any idea how to avoid that ?
any one know where I can purchase this Lift it Kit???
Hi there could this be done with instax Polaroid as well?
what is the polaroid material called? thanks
This gave me some real Bob Ross joy of painting vibes!
Love that.
Never seen or heard of this before, looked pretty cool and fun to see the process. But I cant help to ask, but what is the purpose of doing this? I mean is it just for the fun of it or what?😅
Haha, that’s exactly it. For fun and for the sake of making art. 👍🏻
Is it possible to do the same with Instax film?
Awesome Matt, enjoyed watching this process. 😀
Thank you!
Does the emulsion lift work on instax photos too or is it just a polaroid thing?
I have never tried it with Fuji Instax personally. I’ve heard people say it’s not possible and I’ve heard some people say it is… maybe I should try it.
@@mattdayphoto there’s only one way to find out. I look forward to seeing your next video about it haha 😉
Can you so this with instax film?
Yesss! Thanks for making another video on this!

great work Matt
Will Fuji Instax work?
What brush is it, in the water ?
What kind of film is this?
The background music reminds me of Explosions in the Sky.
Really enjoyed this video, and happy new year Matt! Also thanks for the Rode Wireless Go, I'm looking forward to using it to make some photography-related videos myself :)
Love to hear that, Frank. Happy New Year!
So this would be pretty difficult with older polaroids?
I just did it with a 3 years old Polaroid and it was fine. It just takes more time I guess.
@@setlam2 rad, I’ll find some paper and give it a shot!
@@JonahLorsung The original video on my channel was using a negative that was a few years old. Come to think of it, that could have also played a role in it taking longer to separate. Definitely still doable though! 👍🏻

I gots to.
hey, is that toxic for the skin?
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure! Never had any reactions from it myself though.
really enjoyed this video ;)
