Pots, Pans and Tagines
Some people call it ‘the plastic fantastic’ and others just call it a toy camera. Holga cameras are simple and fun to use with unpredictable results such as soft focus, vignetting, light leakage, blur and other distortions. Shots taken with Holgas, as well as with other retro film cameras are part of a new style of artistic experimental photography called Lomography.
This shot was taken on my Holga 120GN outside a traditional Berber house in the Ourika Valley, not far from Marrakesh.
beautiful . love the deeply saturated colors and textures of the wall that stands out and contrasts against the various utensils ! very earthly feeling to this
Thank you! The colours and textures were what caught my eye, simple ordinary things of everyday use. Really love using the Holga camera though I have to keep taping the back so it doesn’t fall off! I’ve ruined some film that way, very upsetting
I can taste the food made in these pots. Great capture.
Thank you Angela! Love tagines
Really nice photo. Love the colour and shapes.
I’ve always wanted to try a Holga.
They might be termed “toy camera” but they are a completely valid way of capturing images, for sure!
Hmmm, I think I need one…
Cheers
Steve
Txs Steve! They are just fun cameras and light + small to carry with you
Hi Alicia, just found your blog and love your work on here..these Holga cameras look exciting – I think I may have to try one!
