Independent Project- Multiple Exposures using Holga Camera

Holga- The World Through a Plastic Lens

Plastic camera developed in Hong Kong in 1982, known for its unpredictability and cheaply made quality. Because of the cheaply made camera, light leaks are extremely common and for that, a unique trademark of the camera. Embracing the random light leaks and hoping that they enhance the photograph is all you can really do about them. Unlike normal film cameras, winding the film must be hand done, which makes taking multiple pictures on one bit of film very common. I personally love multiple exposures by Holgas, but many times it can ruin a perfectly good single exposure photo but the abstract quality that holgas bring to multiple exposures, especially with the different colored flash options, makes for a cool surprise. Overlapped photos are also common with Holgas because of the freedom of movement. Which can make for spectacular panorama!

Loved your show Nabes! These were the only pictures I got, and were probably my favorites. The simplicity in each one but they become so much more complex when put together as a dyptic life set up. I personally loved how everything was set up and how they were mounted, except wasn't very fond of the way the multiple different pieces of birds were all put together. There was one piece in that set up that stuck out and made it all look a little awkward, I think that if they were all hung as individual pieces they could have been appreciated more and would have looked more appealing. Wish I could afford to buy one of the pieces, because they were all flawless and fabulous.
