Sydney Holga Wedding Photography

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 10:20:58 +0000

Here are some of the holga images I shot at the last wedding. I was so pleased when first discussing her wedding photography that Susan, the bride mentioned she was a huge fan of the Holga and had a Diana herself. We discussed shooting a holga session at her wedding and I was so excited to see what we could capture. Lomography, which is shooting with cheap snapshot camera like a holga or a diana is known for its dreamlike romance, with optical distortion, saturated colouholrs, exaggerated vignetting, streaks from light leaks, and unpredictable outcomes.

I shoot with the original 120mm medium format Holga Color Flash Camera and with 120mm film which prints in a square format. The red you see through the images is one of the infamous light leaks that the holga is famous for… as it is made of plastic, there is little control as the how much light ‘leaks’ through its casing at various points. But this is the great thing about it, what you see through the viewfinder is not necessarily what you are going to get and makes even the most normal things even more interesting.

The artist in me adores the holga, although it is not for everyone, but if you are interested in having a holga session at your wedding, please contact me – caspix[at]mac.com. You can see more of my holga work if you click here or on the ‘film’ category in the links above.

Sydney Midsummer Wedding

admin — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 14:38:12 +0000

It was certainly a midsummer wedding, Susan and Nick’s big day was very hot indeed. They were such an amazing couple to be around, both so welcoming and calm as well. It was a pleasure to have been a part of their fabulous wedding day and here is the sneak peek for all to enjoy. The bride is also a girl after my own heart and has her own holga – so I also shot 6 rolls of medium format film of the wedding party down by the water. These are currently being processed and I will be sure to blog them as soon as I can. Excuse the number of photos, I think its possibly the longest blog post ever as I was there from 8.30am until midnight. Hope you guys have a wonderful honeymoon and I will be in touch shortly with the rest of the photographs. You can also see some holga film images I took of their wedding here.

Even Sandy the dog, gave me a smile when the camera was out

I often take photographs of groups that are milling around organising the formal photographs… true candids.

Then his phone starting ringing, mid shoot.. and yes he did answer !

The bride bought along a chalk board especially to capture this sign to finish off her album
