Barbie Figure Study #2

BY MARK TANNER

This image is part of a series of fine-art figure studies on America’s favorite doll, Barbie^™. The photograph was made using Polaroid type 55 positive/negative film. The texture is achieved by sandwiching the processed negative between two pieces of paper and then peeling the paper away, which clears away a portion of the processing chemistry. The processing chemicals that remain create the textured pattern. The negative is then set out to dry completely before printing.
