This Christmas was defininetley one to remember, and not just because I ate more than my body weight in food, but because I got a Diana F camera!
For those who don’t know the Diana is an entirely plastic camera that was created in Hong Kong in the 1960s which sold for no more than a dollar. Not many took to this new camera and it was deemed a complete and utter failure. However, the Diana has risen from the ashes and has returned as the cult favourite of many artists. The shots produced are soft and dreamy with unpredictable blurring and random contrast. You know when you’ve seen a Diana shot because it has a character all its own!
And I have one! I’m super excited! I’ve already used two films as well as a few polaroids and I must say it does take some getting used to but I’m ready for the challenge. Although you can now get the Diana shots instantly using Hipstamatic on the iPhone, there is something incredibly fulfilling about learning about how to create the most beautiful shots using the Diana F.
Like I said, I’m still getting used to mine but as soon as I’ve developed my films, you’ll be the first to know!
