The Holga is a plastic toy camera, it uses 120 film and has a simple uncorrected lens. It's become something of a cult classic now, it's images recognised by heavy vignetting, over bright saturation, and blurring and colour aberrations, especially at the edges.
When launched in 1982 (in Hong Kong) it cost a few pounds, now changing hands for up to £50 or so, a fair profit for someone.
Here I have used a digital camera to fake the Holga look with the aid of Photoshop, then added a medium format border to complete the illusion.
Enjoy. Wayne
