I want the images to look as if they are taken in the 70's. I don't want them to be shot in a studio, as I don't want the images to look staged I want them to feel real. I discovered, after watching an online fashion blog, the Holga camera.
First designed as a 'toy camera' in Hong Kong in the 1980's, it takes unique photographs, sometimes with colour blurs or blackened edges, very popular with professional photographers. It's also dirt cheap, I purchased mine for £25! I also bought a number of different films for different affects.
Below are some examples of photographs taken with the Holga, which I took from the Holga website.
The effects really reminded me of some of the work by Cindy Sherman. Hopefully the camera and film will give me the dated look that I am after.
