How to shoot a Holga without hating your photos:

➡️ Give it more light than you think
➡️ Use flash 90% of the time (yes, really)
➡️ Don’t overthink it

And most importantly, stop trying to make it perfect. It gets a lot more fun after that.

(Save this for later)

The Holga wasn’t trying to be artistic, it was trying to be affordable.

Designed in the 1980s as a simple camera for everyday family photos, it was meant to be practical, accessible, easy to use. In that sense, it failed.

By the time it arrived, 35mm had already taken over the market.

And the Holga… fell flat.

Light leaks, soft focus, almost no controls. It wasn’t what families were looking for.

But photographers saw something else. What was once a flaw, became an entire point. Instead of families, the Holga found its home in the arsenal of photographers who wanted something a little different.

Because sometimes, perfection isn’t the point.

🪂🫶 🌀 Full trust fall into the weird.
Because, Portra 400 has your back.

When your film is steady,
you get to be bold on purpose.

Anna Nelson? She leans ALL the way in.
Read all about it on the blog. Then go get a little weird. 👽🌈✨

Ever take a photo that felt perfect in the moment… and then the subject came out too dark?

This is why.

Your camera is averaging the whole scene, not prioritizing the subject.

A light meter changes that completely.

It’s a small shift that gives you a lot of control.

Double exposures?
Wildflowers?
A latrine sign cameo??

Whoever you are, keep going. Don’t explain anything.

How do you use a light meter with moving subjects? Here’s the secret… you don’t need to chase them around! Remember, you are measuring the light directly. You aren’t measuring the light that is reflected on the subject.
