Michael Kenna: Holga Hardcover – March 6, 2018

The media could not be loaded. It's very rare that I pre-order anything. I mean it's rare that I know about something in advance in general, but normally I'm just like, meh, I'll get it when I get it. Not in this instance.I've been a Michael Kenna fan forever. His surreal images are timeless. They're inspiring. They're haunting. And they're not easily duplicated. His work is very easily identifiable and I absolutely love it.Similarly, I absolutely adore the Holga and the weird, jacked-up pictures that it produces. If you're here reading this, you very likely know what I referring to, and if not, a quick google search will do the job.Since Michael typically shoots with a Hasselblad, I was elated to find out that he was creating a book done with a Holga. That's like finding out Scarlett Johansson also makes homemade ice cream and blows kisses into each tub she sells. Yes please.In typically Michael Kenna style, all B+W images, all still haunting, all still incredible. Production value is very high and if you're a Kenna or a Holga fan, you should purchase this book and place it somewhere you can reference often. Thank you for such a piece of inspirational work.

No matter your skill level, gear or type of photography, this is a must read! Michael Kenna take’s us on an around the World adventure with a simple camera, capturing beautiful elements along the way. This is as much a photography book as it is an art book and a travel album. I regularly dip in to the pages of this master piece for inspiration!

Heard about this book on the film photography project podcast. Glad I did as would have not looked for the book otherwise. Kenna is an artist and proves you don't need an expensive camera to make great photography. I will be dusting off my two original Diana's again thanks to the inspiration provided by the images in this book.

Wonderful photography, a testimony to the million of photographers who think that a better, more expensive "gigapixel" camera will help to improve their photography.

A well put-together and curated selection of photographs from a master. Very enjoyable and inspirational book.

So beautiful photos!

This book is beautiful and shows that the images come from the vision of the photographer, not the camera. While the Holga is instrumental in creating a certain look, the photographer chooses the framing and the feel of the light... lovely book, and a celebration of calm, beautiful imagery.
