Pinhole Camera Photography


ID : 8914   

« back to classes page
Pinhole photography is both ancient and immediate — a process that uses the simplest of tools to reveal the magic of light. With nothing more than a small plastic box and the tiniest of pinholes, photography is stripped down to its most essential elements: light, time, and perception. In this one-day workshop, students will be introduced to the history and enduring appeal of this historic photographic process. Students will look at examples of contemporary pinhole work and discuss how long exposure transforms ordinary scenes into luminous, dreamlike images. Students will be paired up and use instructor-provided cameras and materials to create their own photographs. Images will be developed directly inside the pinhole camera, allowing students to experience the full analog process from capture to finished print. By the end of the workshop, students will leave with one-of-a-kind handmade photographs — and a new way of seeing. This workshop will involve going outside (rain or shine) to make pinhole photographs and is limited to a class size of 8 students total.
