Fred Baggen Photography

Around age 8 or 9, I was given a plastic toy camera, probably one of the then popular Diana models. There is one photo of our family where I wear that camera on a strap around my neck. That was 1976. Photos taken with that camera are in one or two of our family photo albums. These photos are grainy, unsharp and include light leakage.

In my teens, I used my father’s 1938 Nettar Zeiss Ikon. Later, I purchased a Pentax MG with a zoom lens, and years later, I became the proud owner of a 1969 Hasselblad 500C, and after that a Leica M3, and also digital camera’s: Fujifilm X100T (my preferred camera for concert photography because of its ability to capture stage lights perfectly) and a Sony A7RII. My latest purchase is… a Holga 120S. Back to grainy, unsharp and including light leakage!

My preferred film stock, by the way, is Cinestill 800T for colour (I use this film in both artificial light – for which it was manufactured – and in daylight; I like the shifted colours when used in natural light), and Ilford 3200 ISO and Kodak Tri-X 400 ISO for black & white.
