    Pinhole

    Photography
    What is it?

    A pinhole camera is a camera without a lens but with a tiny hole,


    effectively a light-proof box with a small hole on one side. Light
    from a scene passes through the hole and projects an image on the
    opposite side of the box. It is to allow light to shine through a small
    opening. The hole acts as the lens of your camera. It doesn't focus
    the light like a regular camera does, but since the hole is small it
    creates an image of your light source (like the Sun).
    Steve Pippin
    Pippin works with converted or improvised photographic
    equipment and kinetic sculptures. Steve Pippin first
    experimented with temporarily transforming washing machines
    into cameras in 1989 after he had noticed a number of
    similarities in the workings of washing machines and the
    development of photographs, that is how he got into pinhole
    photography.

    The things that are unique about is work his that his images are focused
    on one thing inside the pinhole, by having a circle around his capture.
    They have captured everyday life in their photography, like people walking
    past in the street. The piece that interests me the most is what looks like a
    lady running in the street, you can tell its not a posed shot as she is off
    centre there is a meaning behind why she is running etc. In close of this
    photograph you will see that some of the details seem to be misaligned or
    partially blurred, which an illustration of the small inaccuracy in the
    juxtaposing viewpoints
    Ilan Wolff
    Ilan Wolff's work was pinhole photography. The
    distorted landscape, is created through the
    technique, camera obscura. In his early works his
    cinematic presentations expand the boundaries of
    the photographs by surrounding the viewer in
    each scene, focusing our perception, and playing
    with movement.

    Their work is unique by capturing landscapes and by


    using camera obscura he has created objects juxtapose
    each other. It is not a crisp digital image, they bend and
    blend into each other. The piece that interests me the
    most is the bottom image because of the juxtaposition
    and how the image folds into its self, from my own
    interpretation it looks like the photo has been taken over
    a longer period of time.
    How to make a pinhole camera
    1. Get any empty and clean can and mark in the centre of the can then create a hole
    where the mark is made to create a tiny hole
    2. Cover the hole with tape
    3. When in an complete dark room place photographic paper and insert it into the
    camera horizontally. Make sure the paper is centred in front of the pinhole
    4. Then place the can where you want the image to be of Equipment:
    5. Remove the tape covering the pinhole • Shoe box, can etc.
    6. Finally let the light seep onto the paper and create your wanted image • Tape
    • Photographic paper
    • Sewing needle
