Primarily shooting with the Polaroid SX-70, Cameron has worked to perfect the process of transferring his original photographs to paper. These Polaroid Transfers, or emulsion lifts, are then assembled by the artist to create an original photograph collage.

Cameron Davis IV’s more traditional photography is shot on 600 Film and scanned at super high resolution to create 1-of-1 Giant Polaroid prints. Included with the signed & numbered archival print is the actual Polaroid photograph. It is a gesture to connect the viewer to the physical media as well as reveal that any color correction is only done in good faith to better represent the original photograph, imperfections included.

Open to commission inquiries.


Cameron found a 35mm Minolta in a box destined for the trash. Here are a few photos from his experiments with this camera. The light bleed was sporadic and unintended, yet an appreciated contribution to the color palette and composition of the photos, where applicable.
