Plastic Photography: The Art of the Holga
Taking photos with a Holga, you tend to step back, breathe, and really take in your surroundings; you have to pause and think before you release the shutter.
This class will offer a brief history of the Holga, a popular 1980s camera design, before taking you on a stroll through Glen Echo Park. We’ll provide Holga cameras and film, so you can experience the art and simplicity of medium-format photography firsthand.
There is a $10 materials fee for each roll of 120 mm film. Please bring cash.
This class is presented in partnership with Exposed DC.

Sarah Hodzic found her way back to shooting film in 2008, after shooting primarily with digital cameras for her photography business. When she wants to stretch her artistic side, she sets aside the digital camera in favor of a Holga. Sarah’s work with the Holga has appeared in numerous online and print publications, and a number of her Holga photos have won national photography prizes.
