What is the Holga Challenge?
You’re given:
- A plastic toy camera
- One roll of color film
- One roll of black and film
- No precise way to check focus
- A terribly-sealed camera body that is vulnerable to light leaks
The point is to prove to yourself that you can take great pictures without fancy equipment. This challenge truly is about the photographer.
So join us on a You Tube crossover episode between Kevin Deal Photography and Brandon Gorrie as we step away from the comfort of our medium format monsters and force ourselves to rely entirely on our photography skills as we (try to) use a Holga 120N on a portrait session in the streets of Austin, TX.

Do you have any tips you want to share about getting great shots out of your Holga? Share them in the comments.

@Slenderman629 Год назад

You can use fill flash for back lit shots with a Holga. B mode is great for taking pics of Christmas lights or traffic at night!

@KevinDeal Год назад

Great tip! Yeah. We didn’t have flash the first time around. I’m learning on this Holga journey. It’s a cool little camera.

Thank you!

@rebekaperales694 Год назад

Thank you! This was a fun one to watch. That last double exposure with the basketball hoop was awesome!

@KevinDeal Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it! It's a fun camera to mess around with. Only $30 on Amazon. Can't go wrong with that.

@aprilpaddock8455 Год назад

If I shoot a roll through my Holga I usually end up with 3 shots where I forgot to take the lens cap off, 1 double exposure, 3 shots were I forgot to change from Mountain to Two People, 1 shot unidentifiable, 3 shots that are OK and one wasted frame because I thought I was at the end of the roll. No light leaks though!

@KevinDeal Год назад

You fared better than I did. It's a quirky camera, for sure.

@brentmiller3250 11 месяцев назад

Great video … you guys have a great eye. Thanks!

Thank YOU!

@Brandongorrie Год назад

Great shots, man! Had a lot of fun doing this!

@KevinDeal Год назад

Thanks. We should do a MAMIYA episode next.

@Narsuitus 11 месяцев назад

Since I am a control freak who does not tolerate having my images ruined by a camera's quirky defects, I have eliminated the light leaks in the two Holgas I own and use.

@KevinDeal 11 месяцев назад

I overcame this problem by going back to my other cameras. Lol.

@Narsuitus 11 месяцев назад

@@KevinDeal I cannot do the same because my two Holga cameras are the only medium format cameras I have that produce 6x12cm images on roll film.

@BoxOfShockolates 7 месяцев назад

Can you share tips that you used to eliminate light leaks for the poster & others? I haven’t had light leaks, either, but I’ve seen people put tape on the back cracks of camera instead for light leaks. I also have the Holga version with built in flash, colour flash & glass lense, so idk if it was just built lightly different to prevent less light leaks.

@Narsuitus 7 месяцев назад

@@BoxOfShockolates 1. I avoid loading my film in bright sunlight. I load my film in a dimly lit room at home. 2. After I load my camera with film, I put black electrical tape or black gaffers tape over the flimsy latch to prevent the camera back from accidently opening. 3. I put black tape over the red window and only remove it when I need to advance the film. 4. When the camera is loaded with film, I keep the camera back cracks covered with black tape. 5. When I am not shooting, I keep the lens covered with a lens cap. 6. When I am not shooting, I keep the pinhole covered with a piece of black tape.

In the right hands, Holgas can produce some amazing shots... but you have to understand its limitations and work within those limitations to turn them into strengths. I recommend watching Martin Henson's Holga videos, it might help you. www.youtube.com/@martinhensonphotography

Thanks!

@L8te Год назад

Like every other type of camera, you need to learn how to get the best out of it. I shoot mainly black and white and have gotten some amazing dreamy results. Don't expect Leica quality. Just have fun with it. Holga fans always say there are no bad Holga shots.

@KevinDeal Год назад

Great points. Definitely looking at mods and plan to enjoy shooting with it.
