After working with cyanotypes I started to be interested with early photographic experiments what lead me to pinhole cameras.
Basically, a pinhole camera is a lens less camera that works as a Camera Obscura where you place a film or photographic paper to take a picture (so, it’s a camera without batteries and lens).
The good thing about it is that it’s so easy to do that any box you have at home can be transformed into one as long as it’s lightproof (not to expose the photographic paper on the wrong time).
You can read more on how it works both the Camera Obscura here and the Pinhole Camera here.
The negative of my first photo came out a bit out of focus due to the wind but, overall, I was very, very happy with it.
After I got the negative it was time to flip the image horizontaly and to invert the colours. The result was this:
My very first Pinhole Photo.
Since this one, I already built 3 more cameras of different sizes and took more pictures with them that I intend to develop and post them here as soon as I can.
