Holga Camera Photography
The Holga is an inexpensive, 120 film plastic camera made in China. It has a problem producing quality photos which has attracted many photographers to add this camera to their array of equipment and many of the photographs produced have received lots of attention for their distorted look. There are many variations of the Holga camera from the 120S with it’s fixed shutter speed and plastic lens to the 120GFCN with it’s color flash and glass lens. Once you see some of the photos people have produced with the it, you may be convinced to buy one of these cheap toy cameras to play seriously around with.

Holga is a film camera, not digital; so, no it can’t upload to your computer.

Do all Holga cameras produce the black fading at the corners or is it only some models?

this is called vignetting, and it completely depends on your camera. all holgas creat vignetting, however some specifuc cameras create more than others. this is what makes you holga camera unique! hope this was a help

Were filters used on some of these cameras or was it just the lighting that create some of these effects? (e.g. pictures, 1,2,6,13 & 16). Or was it the way they were developed?
Very awesome photos!

I doubt filters were used, although I’m sure it’s possible. I’d say the type of film, the kind of Holga camera being used, and how they are developed are the main reasons that contribute to the photos looking like they do (along with lighting, composition, etc).
Truly cool photos that make you want to get one and try it out.
