I realize this is a 35mm group, but figure you folks might have
experience with this....
Is there a way to double-expose a Polaroid image?
I would imagine if you could snap a Polaroid picture and then somehow
stop it from being ejected from the camera, or perhaps halting the
developing process and then re-loading it into the camera, you might
be able to double-expose it.
Alternatively, is there another way to simulate double-exposure on
polaroids? Ie, to get some kind of image onto the polaroid, even a
smear of luminescent color, before the image is exposed?
Note that I am not a photographer, but rather a teacher looking to do
a demosntration for a class.
Thanks so much in advance,
R Gould

If you rent or borrow a medium format film camera (any Hasselblad, any
Bronica, Pentax 645, Contax 645 etc.) with an accessory Polaroid back,
you can make as many exposures as you wish on the Polaroid film. A
local professional photographer may be able to help you by loaning you
the equipment.
[Polaroid backs were/are used to make test images to check lighting
and/or composition prior to making the final shot on film. The
Polaroid back is quickly interchangeable with the camera's normal 120
rollfilm back.]

A Spectra Pro/Minolta Instant Pro will double expose the film.
It actually has an LCD display on the back with a lot of options, one
of which is multiple exposure. You set it to take however many
exposures you want, and press the shutter button for each exposure.
When you've taken them all, it ejects the film.
You can also set a timer between each shot, to take multiple-self-
portraits easily.

Unfortunately Polaroid has stopped making those cameras and now has
stopped the production of film for that camera, as well as for the 600
series. No more instant images that spit out so you can share right
now. Seems the digital P&S cameras have made the polaroid a thing of
antiquity.

Try Fuji, they still make that type of film.

Yeah, but try and find that in the States. So far no one (as I know)
is importing it, yet.

That stuff will work for dye transfers and double exposure. But they
are the pull apart type and not the intergral type like the 600 or
spectra. The pull-apart you have to yank it through the rollers and
time it before you peel it apart to see the image. The intergral type
spits out the camera and self-develops.
Thanks for the heads-up on where to get it, though.

Yes, with the pack film and large-format (4x5" and 8x10") films.

There exist Polaroid backs for some top-end film cameras like Hassies and
Rolleis.....I see no reason why you couldn't double expose those just as you
can with normal film.......
