Holga Fashion Images

Photos from the Holga Fashion experiment from this past summer. More to come once the rest of the film is developed and scanned...

Fantastic Plastic Studio Portrait Night

Fantastic Plastic, a fantastic photography group organized here in good ol' Bozeman by the local camera shop, meets once a month to indulge in the awesomeness that is the krappy kamera. This latest meeting was held in F11 on Main Street in a studio set up in the back. 3200 film was shot, many many lights were used and we had a blast. My mom gave me a fisheye lens for my Holga for Christmas this year and this was its debut. I have never used a fisheye before but dreamed of the day when my Holga and it would meet. Success! My next goal for the fisheye: photograph my crazy fun cousins and our soon to be new home, Seattle.

Any questions about Fantastic Plastic? Please email F11 and they would gladly give you any info you need. Dianas and other plastic cameras also welcome.

Sifting Through This Summer's Images

I am trying to organize and edit images from this summer that I took on my own time. I haven't been able to really look at them because of the weddings that took priority. It's been kind of fun looking back at some of the personal work from this summer. This shoot was from the World Wide Photo Walk in July 2010. The first image is a photograph taken by Patrick with my Holga camera.

Holga Fashion Shoot with Tomomi

Shots from the Holga fashion project (these are from my digital/test shots). Tomomi was my model for these shots earlier this summer in this beautiful flow-y dress. As a recap on the HolgaFashion Project: Photographs taken in a fashion style in an unconventional medium, the Holga. I have scans from the Holga and will be posting them soon.

Holga Fashion Shoot with Tiffany

Shots from the Holga fashion project (these are from my digital/test shots). Tiffany was my model for these shots in her fall sweater dress and awesome wool coat. As a recap on the HolgaFashion Project: Photographs taken in a fashion style in an unconventional medium, the Holga. I have scans from the Holga from previous shoots and will be posting them soon.

Holga Fashion Shoot with Miranda

Shots from the Holga fashion project (these are from my digital/test shots). Miranda was my model for these shots in her cute 50s style swimsuit and white floppy hat. Ta Da! Holga Fashion Project: Photographs taken in editorial fashion style in an unconventional medium, the Holga. I have done three rolls so far and will be getting them developed soon. We'll see how it goes!

Holga Wedding Shot by Katie

I got the film back from my sister's camera (my Holga) that had the images from our first two weddings of the summer. So far, I think I this one is my favorite.

My Assistant Katie

My sister is my wedding assistant all summer and I have lent her my Holga for each wedding. Her assignment has been this: 1) Keep track of my stuff and whatever I ask for, run and get it 2) Katie has one roll of film per wedding. This means 12 shots of whatever she chooses and I will develop them for her. Anyone who knows a Holga camera knows it is a very unique medium especially for when you are first learning it. Light leaks, soft focus, plastic fantastic. If you are not familiar with the wonderful world of Holga, please Google it. This is Katie taking a photo of me with the Holga at our first wedding of the summer (isn't she beautiful??). Love you Katie!
