(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — A confidence boost from the click of a camera.

“People feel very empowered when they see gorgeously made photographs of themselves,” says Jacob Miller, founder of Purple Boudoir, a photography studio in the West Loop with a motto of “Quiet Your Inner Critic.”

“I think we wouldn’t be human if we didn’t at times struggle with self-esteem. It seems to be a human condition thing. Are we good enough?”

Purple Boudoir specializes in photography for singles and couples as well.

“Which is unusual. Most studios only do singles and only women. We’re very inclusive. We are Chicago’s only studio that welcomes singles and couples, LGBTQ+, straight, young, old, slender, full figured, everybody,” Miller said.

Miller says through awareness, fundraising, photography sessions, and in the studio’s name, Purple Boudoir has a mission of ending domestic violence and is a longtime partner of the non-profit WINGS program.

“The statistics are one in three people are going to experience domestic abuse in one form or another in their lifetime. It really touches all of us, either directly or indirectly. Someone we know or love has been in a situation like this.”

Another mission? Helping Chicagoans love what they see in the mirror.

“Our clients describe their experiences as empowering, transformative, almost like a before and an after. They fall in love with their photos, they get albums and prints for the wall. They just come to see themselves in a new light. I can go to sleep at night knowing that I helped somebody feel good about themselves. That’s a very fulfilling way to earn a living is to do this for people.”

When the Holga first launched, it didn’t quite capture people the way its creator hoped… but it did spark something.

The camera, which first released in 1982, was meant to be an affordable option with a plastic toy-like body, the South China Morning Post explains in the video above (part of its new “Cultured” series), but users found it “too rudimentary” even within the amateur space. Plus, it used 120 film, while 35mm was a far more popular option.

However, the Holga wasn’t left to languish in photography history books, instead gaining a following through the Lomography movement. Lomography was an art style that started in Vienna in the 1990s that embraced so-called “imperfections” in photography. Blur, light leaks, under and overexposure, and heavy vignetting were celebrated in Lomography. The champions of the movement started the Lomography company and the Lomographic Society International.

“Emotionally, it feels more real. Maybe not visually. Visually, if you have a very clear image, of course there are more details. But emotionally, maybe it doesn’t feel real. Maybe with the dream and blurry image, it is actually more accurate to our memory,” Tat Tso, Lomography’s head of operations in Asia, tells the South China Morning Post. “We don’t remember things clearly if you think about it. We remember things in a blurry way, in a dreamy way.”

Therein lies the appeal of Lomography.

Those elements drew popularity once again in the 2000s and 2010s, as apps like Hipstamatic and Instagram aped the look with filters that incorporated vignettes and artificial light leaks. Hipstamatic and even Instagram’s original app icon further embodied the looks of camera models like Holga. Additional vintage- and Lofi-style filters on smartphones and editing software as well as apps like Huji continued the trend. And while the Holga isn’t an instant, the rise of instant cameras from companies like Fujifilm and Polaroid all tie into the Lomography renaissance.

In the late 2000s, the South China Morning Post reports, Holga was selling about 200,000 units each year. And Lomography, the company, continued as well with stores all over the world and camera releases.

Yet, some attribute the revival of analog photography and Lomography as contributing to Holga’s downfall. Some say Instagram’s rise was to blame. Others think Kodak’s filing for bankruptcy and stopping film production was the real issue as film for the camera became more scarce. Though Kodak would eventually resume film production and Instagram has moved away from the Lomography aesthetic it boasted in its early years, Holga stopped production in 2015.
