Description
Low-tech medium format cameras like the Holga and Diana are popular for the mysterious, dreamy images produced through their simple plastic lenses. In this workshop with toy camera guru Michelle Bates, explore how giving up some technical control can result in wonderfully unique and unexpected images. Slides, demonstrations, and hands-on shooting time will a comprehensive look at the "Plastic Fantastic" in action. Learn how to shoot successfully in this style, manipulating light leaks and modifying cameras to creatively enhance your images. During the second session, students will discuss their work and take advantage of darkroom time to refine printing techniques. Bring your Holga (also available for purchase at PCNW on the day of the workshop) and at least two rolls of 120 B&W film (color film is optional).
*Workshop meets on February 28 & March 7.
