| The Pinhole Principle | | Pinhole photography takes us back to the very origins of photography. A pinhole camera is a very basic tool, but when used in the right way it can yield extraordinary results. Essentially, a pinhole camera is a light-sealed object with a small ‘pinhole’ opening which, when the shutter is opened, light shines through to imprint an image. Pinhole photography opens up a world of creative possibilities – from making your own camera to creating unique photographs. | | |
