. the holga diaries .

lucia fischer (luciafischer) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 17:56:05 -0700

the holga diaries is a gritty behind the scenes look at the back streets and forgotten corners of the iconic city of Sydney. The series depicts a raw social documentary from a subjective perspective with a fine art feel. The images are shot with a plastic toy camera called a Holga. My Holga camera is my constant companion, he lives in my handbag, I take him to the beach, he comes out drinking, he gets dropped, he gets wet, he sometimes pops open and splits in two. He is prone to light leaks, vignetting, blur and perspective distortion and it is these elements of chance and mishap that attract me to him. In the age of 60 mega pixel cameras, the ever increasing Holga craze is bringing attention back to the basic elements of photogrophy; light recorded on film through a hole in a box. I shoot on traditional black and white film and later adds layers of warm colours and intricate textures in Photoshop to create a soft and misty focus, thereby combining the basic elements of analogue photography with digital imaging to create artworks that delve beyond the medium of photography. The result is a series of images that have an almost dream like haziness and a timeless sentimentality.
