Rachel saw and loved the Holga sessions from last summer with Nick and Kasia and Brian and Anna so we added it to their session. Here is a sneak peak at some of my favs!!!
If you’re interested in adding some “Holga lovin” to your session, talk to me!!;)
Okay, I know I’m a dork!! I love my Holga! Yes, it’s expensive to use, Yes, they don’t always turn out, but, when they do…It is Magic! When we shot Nick and Kasia’s engagement photo’s Kasia had asked to shoot some Holga, I couldn’t resist!! Here is some magic from their session.
And… My most favorite Holga Image of all time…

The Holga is an inexpensive, medium format 120 film toy camera, made in China, appreciated for its low-fidelity aesthetic.
The Holga’s cheap construction and simple meniscus lens often yields pictures that display vignetting, blur, light leaks, and other distortions. The camera’s quality problems have become a virtue among some photographers, with Holga photos winning awards and competitions in art and news photography.[3]
I bought one for cheap and decided to take it along on the last couple of shoots I had, I LOVE it! It was really expensive to develop and have put on a CD but, I think it was worth it! I added a little texture to these.
Now, on with some photo’s!
