Holga Photography

Jeffrey L Cohen is a Chattanooga photographer who shoots film with a fixed-setting, plastic Holga camera. The analog format causes Jeff to slow down and be fully present in the moment. The Holga viewfinder does not show what the camera sees, and the resulting image reveals about twice as much of the visible world. All images are printed full frame to show what the camera captured on film.
