Bates uses a Holga camera to get this effect. It much reminds me of images taken through the use of Instagram, which I will look into further later on. The use of the statues is interesting, perhaps at another point I could look into portraits which aren't actually portraits. I like this idea. I also like the use of colour, which will be the case for my images.
'Michelle has been a passionate photographer since she was young, and learned her way around a camera in 1991 at the Maine Photographic Workshops, where she first discovered the Holga. Since then, Michelle has shown work in solo exhibitions in the Pacific Northwest, New York, Los Angeles and Israel, and in group shows around the US, Italy, Germany & Thailand. She has photographed for weekly newspapers, album covers, performers, artists, and many others. Michelle loves teaching, and has given lectures on plastic and toy cameras to groups all over the US, including the Society for Photographic Education, SF Camerawork, Powell's Books, and the Creative Center for Photography. She has taught at many photo schools & centers, including Photographic Center Northwest, Newspace (PDX), Maine Media Workshops, the Julia Dean Workshops (LA) and International Center of Photography in New York, among others. Her book,"Plastic Cameras: Toying with Creativity" was published in late 2006 by Focal Press and the second edition in October 2010. Michelle is a member of Freestyle Photographic Supply's Advisory Board of Photographic Professionals.
Michelle lives in Seattle, and also frequents Vashon Island, Bellingham, Portland (OR), San Francisco and New York. She loves to road trip and fly away with her Holgas whenever possible.'
