Book Reviews of Plastic Cameras: Toying with Creativity
Book Review: Join the fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hey, Jack and Meg White of the White Stripes will sell you their signature model plastic camera, but to be really cool, you need to buy this book and learn exactly what you can do with retro-photography. Digital photography didn't make Holga and Diana-style photography obsolete -- it made it mandatory.
This book will provide you with the ideas you need to get really creative with your camera. And what you learn may spill over into your digital photography work, too.

if you are just beginning to toy with the notion of using a toy camera for your fine art photography, this is a great book to get you started. it goes over the different types of films, loading, light leaks, techniques and more. not only is this book useful to the toy camera beginner, but this book is packed full of incredible shots from toy camera photographers from around the world that even toy camera pros will enjoy. makes a great coffee table book!Book Review: Best on the subject
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot speak highly enough of this book. The range of imagery, discussion of technique and conceptual development is first rate. The Plastic camera genre has been with us for many years but this is the finest book I have seen on the subject.
The photography is quite superb and well set out. I am a lecturer in Photography and I will certainly be recommending this book to my library and my students.

Book Review: Great alternative photography
Summary: 5 Stars
The images presented are impressive and the educational content is excellent. Lots of great information on the modification of cameras, how to use them and backgrounds of some photographers and how they are successful with the cameras they use. I highly recommend this book and think it would be a great addition to any photographers library.
