IPhone Fashion Editorial, Part Two, Helga







Those of you who know me, know that I am a big Holga fan. When my Canon was stolen last year I was bummed but mostly relieved that my beloved hunk-a-plastic Holga, which had taken most of my favorite photos, was safe and sound. I know it was only worth $30 or so, but I have had it for so long I had become a bit superstitious about it and worried that a replacement wouldn't have the same familiar light leaks.

Well, the CameraBag Helga filter is a little too clean and predictable to perfectly match the look of Holgas but I love it nonetheless. In fact, I think, all in all, it is my favorite of the filters. I like the vignetting and somehow the photos look both saturated and desaturated at the same time. How can that be? Magic, I tell you.

Just for kicks I have included a few of my real Holgas just for comparison below. Which reminds me to ask, CameraBag, any chance of a Black and White Holga filter for the next update?

Again, really great photos. There is a special something in the works for CameraBag that will soon let you have black and white Helgas (also looking into more randomness in the Helga and other filters).
