HOLGA PHOTOGRAPHY
Once I saw in a magazine holga pictures and fell in love with the process right away. When I found where to buy this toy camera, I started to shoot everything that appealed to me. The splashing colors due to leaks of light revealed to me a world at the edge of reality, a dream like world. Shooting with the Holga camera turned quickly to be a joyful research that moves you away from the dull reality. Just like a life improving therapy. Hence came the title of this work : TherapyH, where H stands for Holga!
But what is Holga ? It is a cheap medium-format 120 film camera made from plastic and built in China considered today as a toy camera. It was intended to provide an inexpensive mass-produced camera for the working class but its lack of quality quickly became a good means of expressing photography in a surrealistic way.
