5 Steps To Better Holga Photography

Comments


Everyone is in need of a little kick up the rear now and then, hey that's one of the main reasons this blog is here...to keep you motivated about Holga photography.

In this post I will outline 5 things that will take you towards better Holga photography.

1. Be Productive

Your Holga photography is not some sort of thing that if left alone gets better. You need to go out and practice. Be productive and set time aside to shoot with your much loved companion. (and yes I mean the camera!)

2. Be Creative

Don't be afraid to express yourself, being creative is one of the best ways to show your inner self. Don't let the freaks on the side-walk make you feel paranoid about you taking shots with a silly looking camera!

3. Be Experimental

Experiment and you will find new and interesting ways to shoot with your Holga camera. Try DIY Masks, Hacking your Holga With 35mm Film and more. The possibilities with the Holga are pretty endless, so there is no excuse for jacking it in!

4. Share Ideas

Forums and ahem blogs ahem are a great place to share ideas and learn from other Holga users, so join in the conversation by leaving a comment on one of the posts. There is a great deal to learn off others if you allow yourself to be taught.

5. Don't Give Up

Many of you will have issues with your first few rolls of Holga film. I still have issues now. Take your time and realise that taking things one step at a time will result in you becoming a better photographer in the long run.
