This class will focus on creating black and white images with film using the Holga camera. Popular smart phone apps like Instagram and Retro Camera were created to emulate the characteristics of the Holga, which has gained popularity amongst film enthusiasts.

The class will consist of three sessions. The first will be a 90 minute class to familiarize students with the Holga camera and the many creative ways to use the Holga successfully. Cameras and auxiliary equipment will be loaned to students for this course, or you may provide your own. For your convenience, film and paper can be provided for an extra fee. Students will shoot their film during the week, finishing the class with an intensive 2 days in the lab/darkroom developing film and printing images.
