My Camera Couture, designer, Julia Kozak, has spent her life creating colourful but practical objects. Her in-house studio is filled with textiles, yarns, papers, paints, beads and found objects of all colors and textures. She takes particular satisfaction from redesigning a purely utilitarian object into a work of art that inspires even as it performs its task.
Her business, My Camera Couture, grew out of her love of photography and frustration with the starkly utilitarian designs of camera accessories. Her line of camera straps and accessories allow the creative photographer to express their own sense of style without sacrificing functionality. All pieces are handmade in her smoke-free studio when she’s not chasing her two young kids and two Elkhound dogs.
Julia sent me two great looking camera straps to review. As many of you know, my camera is always with me, and mostly around my neck. The black camera strap with my camera’s name on it, just does not suit my personality and I adore dressing up my camera with great straps. I love the two straps she sent me and I want to tell you about them.
The Floral Gold on Fuchsia SLR and DSLR camera strap is new for the 2011/12 season and features a delicate floral pattern woven in metallic gold on a hot-pink background. It reverses to solid black so you’re getting two straps in one! This strap is equipped with 3/8″ quick-release attachment straps, allowing the strap to be switched easily to match your mood. This strap is really pretty and really stands out with the hot-pink background. It is a sassy and stylish strap that is very comfortable and very secure.
The Pink Tropical Punch strap is new for 2011/12 and features a bold floral pattern on one side and “Capture Everyday Life™” on the other. It is equipped with 3/8″ quick-release attachment straps. This is a funky strap that is great for where I live, right near the original Woodstock Concert Site, which is now the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Great for me to wear when I go to the Harvest Festival and concerts up there. This is a great strap that gets tons of compliments and is super comfy and secure.
