Pinhole photography is one of the most creative and fun forms of image making. The simplicity of the pinhole camera design derives from the first camera obscuras of the 15th century.
This two-day hands-on workshop with Jennifer Crane will introduce students to contemporary photography using hand-made pinhole cameras. Students will plan and build their own camera and learn how to calculate the exposures.
The cameras will be used during the class to create images with film or photographic paper.
