Is there anything that ever particularly strikes you and makes you think that “this picture” would be perfect through the lens of a Holga? I’d love to know what you look for…
Hey Lara,It’s different everytime. I was drawn to the tree separating the two girls in the pool. I also like the way (as Emmylou pointed out) the flowers coming out of the tree looked like a vintage swim cap. I approach each situation with a “what is going on here” attitude. Nearly 100% of the time they are just situations existing as they are on their own and they are going as quickly as they appear. I do look for shadows and lens flare and tend to shoot into the sun whenever possible. Although technically this is a Holga no-no. When I’m shooting weddings with a Holga, it’s a bit more staged. I’m starting to babble on. I hope this helps!
omg you’re amazing!I love your holga posts!
i love how in the first one the flowers on the tree make the girl look like she’s wearing one of those vintage swim caps.

These are amazing. LOVE them. Can’t wait for your holga show.
I had a dream last night about Cost Rica. Sitting on a cliffed beach watching wild life. Then I find this!
