BIO
Photographer and writer, Lorraine Healy, is an inveterate traveler. A fan of the Great American Road Trip, she is documenting the remnants of Americana, storefronts, and signs, before they are gone. As evidenced by her recent series, East to West on Route 66, by using film and her favorite plastic cameras, the look of her images, themselves, reflect a bygone time.
Lorraine’s photographs have been selected for exhibition in galleries around the country and online. These include: the Holga Out of the Box Juried Show, TCC Gallery, Longview TX; the 9th Annual Juried Plastic Camera Show, Rayko Gallery, San Francisco, CA; the Somerville Toy Camera Festival, Somerville MA; and the Krappy Kameras XV Juried Show, Soho Gallery, New York City NY.
In 2015 Lorraine published an eBook on how to achieve the best results with a Holga camera, Tricks With A Plastic Wonder. She is also a frequent contributor of articles to online photography magazines including The Lomography Society, EMULSIVE.org, Kosmo Foto, and others. The author of five books of poetry, her chapbook “Abraham’s Voices” also includes her photographs.
Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Healy is a long-time resident of Whidbey Island, Washington. Her images are held in private collections in Argentina, Canada, and the U.S. Lorraine’s Holga eBook and most of her poetry books are available at Amazon.com.
