B&H Photo & Video hosts Michelle Bates for 3 events in January.
420 9th Avenue (@ 34th St), New York, NY
B&H Event Space information.
Toy cameras fall into the category of simple, inexpensive film based cameras made almost entirely out of plastic, even including the optics! However, don't be mislead by the low-tech "cheap" approach to this kind of photo gear; they are capable of taking amazing and unique images in an almost accidental fashion.
The Event Space is pleased to have photographer Michelle Bates, who is author of the book "Plastic Cameras: Toying with Creativity", share her expertise on "Toy Camera" creativity. Michelle will delve into this esoteric style by showing work of photographers shooting with Holgas, Dianas, and other toy cameras, with lots of images for inspiration! If you're interested in the world of plastic cameras, this will be a great introduction. See the latest in new Holga models and accessories as well as Michelle's vision and work. After the lecture, Michelle will be signing copies of her book which will be available.
Like all of the Event Space programs, Michelle's morning session is being offered free of charge. However, for those of you wishing to get deeper into the art of toy camera image making, Michelle will be leading a more in depth workshop in the afternoon. The afternoon workshop runs from 1-5 pm, also at B&H Photo's Event Space. Cost is $75 (payable in advance), and includes 2 rolls of 120 Fuji Film, Fuji Instant Film for using with a Holgaroid back during the workshop (both coutesy of FujiFilm), and a 20% discount a signed copy of Michelle's book. Holga cameras will be available for sale at B&H, or bring your own (without film loaded).
