"My
preference for these colors is not the only reason I
use Polaroid materials," says Mori, who continues,
"flowers change their color and shape quickly;
they don't wait for me. So it is crucial for me to be
able to check on the spot if I am getting what I want
to see on paper. If not, I can try my shot again, at
once. This immediacy is only possible with instant film." |

Mori
sometimes utilizes a cross toned process called "chocolate,"
combining Types 809 and 804 Polaroid film to reproduce
delicate hues in pale sepia monotones. Sensitive to
the tactile quality attained when transferring color
images to a nontraditional receiving sheet like watercolor
paper, Mori feels the technique adds more flavor to
his flowers. Currently he is working on an elaborate
use of lighting in order to achieve even more unusual
color rendering. |

In
his childhood, photography was an everyday affair to
him. He lived with many strips of 35 mm film hanging
everywhere in the house. His father was at the time
a journalist working as a correspondent in various local
cities. Photographs were indispensable to his reporting,
so he used a camera constantly. |
