2024 Summer Workshops
Pinhole photography (or camera obscura) is a way to create photographic images without a sharpening lens, linear focal plane, or factory set apertures and shutter speeds. The results are often dreamy and mysterious, both softer and more personal than images created in mechanical or digital cameras. This weeklong class will cover all aspects of pinhole photography from camera construction to production of pinhole images. Participants need know nothing about photography to appreciate the power of camera obscura imagery to widen one’s visual vocabulary.
As part of your materials fee, you will be given ten sheets of photo paper for making prints. Additional sheets may be purchased from the Work Center for $1 per sheet.
