Long Exposure
The Holga camera has a bulb switch that allows you to keep the shutter open for as long as you hold down the shutter allowing long exposure shots
Lo-Fi Lens
The plastic and lofi glass lenses of the holga camera create beautifully dreamy soft focus edges to your photos, as well as vivid bright colours
Square Photos
The Holga Camera takes 120 medium format film and allows you to take regular rectangular shots or super fun square photos.
Black Corners
Due to the internal design of the camera the Holga can exhibit various degrees of vignetting, causing the corners of some photos to have cool black corners.
Black & White
As the Holga is a real film camera you can put REAL black and white film in it and get all the gorgeous tones and contrast that you can't fake with photoshop or camera apps
Double Exposures
The shutter release and film advance on a holga are decoupled, so you can shoot as many images on one frame as you want, overlaying them to create bonkers double exposures.
What makes the pictures so interesting?
This is a hard question to answer, especially when we're trying to sell you one. But basically (from a technical photographic point of view) the camera isn't really built very well. It has either a plastic or low quality glass lens. A lot of the cameras have light leaks and not much effort in the manufacturing process has been made to limit the vignetting.
But it's these 'features' that create the brilliant lo-fi images that Holga users love.
Mechanically, the camera is very simple. It has a simple meniscus lens, two aperture settings (sunny (f/11) and cloudy (f/8)) one shutter speed (about 1/100) and an interesting zone focusing system which requires you to decide whether your subject is most like a single person, a family, a large group of people or a mountain. There is also a bulb setting for long exposure shots and a tripod mount to keep it steady when doing so. Some versions also have an inbuilt flash.
