Summary: Photography is the practice of making images by exposing film or another medium to a timed flash of light. The basic equipment used for photography has changed dramatically in the last decades, many people finding digital photography an inexpensive and creative hobby. We use photography as a means of communication worldwide: to sell things, to tell stories, capture memories, evoke passions, fight for causes, make new meanings, and inspire the imagination. Mastering the art of photography is a technical and challenging experience. Even with an automatic, digital camera, one has to learn how to frame a shot, choose a background, interact with the subject, use natural light, and select the right supplies and tools.

In this free camera video series, let a professional photographer show you how to take fun and creative pictures with different toy cameras. First learn about the Holga 120S camera. Learn how taping light holes in a Holga helps with better pictures. Then learn how to avoid fogging film and how the flash on a Holga works. Get tips on linking and doubling exposures for a artistic feeling to your pictures. Finally he moves on to the Action Cam which uses four separate shutters. After watching this free video series, you won't need professional camera equipment to get creative shots.
