There’s something wonderfully elusive about these images from Etsy seller Polaroids and Pinholes (aka Bristol, England’s Rowena Dugdale, who moonlights in the darkroom when she’s not working as a commercial illustrator). The objects seem ghostly, somehow — not quite there. I’m captivated by them. Created using old-school techniques such as photogramming (light from a camera enlarger shines through the object directly onto color negative paper, causing a positive image to form), Polaroid, and pinhole photography, the results are haunting and lovely. 5-by-7-inch prints are $12 to $15, and 8-by-10s are $35.
