Plastic Cameras
Toying With Creativity
Plastic cameras give me the freedom to create without overthinking the result. Working with cameras such as the Holga, Fujifilm Instax 200, and Lomography Fisheye II, I embrace unpredictability, welcoming light leaks, distortion, and chance as essential parts of the image-making process rather than flaws to control.
Each camera offers a distinct experience. The Holga uses 120 film, the Instax 200 produces instant prints, and the Fisheye II shoots on 35mm film. Every format carries its own surprises, which is exactly the point.
There’s no chasing perfect white balance, no exposure compensation rabbit holes, no precision focusing. Just film, light and instinct. I have a sense of what I’ve made, but it’s only confirmed when the prints come back from the lab.
Some photographs are made at cycling races. Others capture roadside Americana, classic cars or everyday moments. The imperfections are not flaws. They are part of the story.
In contrast to the control of studio photography, this collection leans into spontaneity. The process is slower. The results are uncertain. And that is exactly the point.
Analog Film Experiments
This plastic camera series is an ongoing study in analog photography and creative experimentation. Shot on 120 film, instant prints and 35mm, the Holga, Instax 200 and Fisheye II introduce light leaks, vignetting and imperfect framing by design. The variables are not corrected. They’re embraced. From cycling events to roadside details and everyday moments, these photographs lean into instinct over control and let unpredictability shape the story.
Bring That Same Instinct to Your Next Project
Plastic cameras are a reminder that the best images come from clarity and intention, not over control. If you need commercial or editorial photography in Boulder, Denver or nationwide, let’s plan a shoot that feels honest, crafted and unmistakably you.
