Pinhole Cameras

Photography, Camera Design
Project Overview
In this captivating project, I embarked on a creative journey that seamlessly blended the realms of art and physics. Alongside a group of friends, we set out to construct a series of pinhole cameras, diving headfirst into the enchanting world of analog photography. This project allowed us to bridge the gap between art and science, showcasing how they can intertwine to create a captivating and educational experience. Through pinhole photography, we discovered the beauty in simplicity, the magic of light, and the endless possibilities for artistic expression.
My Contributions
Pinhole Camera Expertise: I led the construction and refinement of various pinhole cameras, optimizing image detail through design experimentation.
Independent Physics Study: I explored the physics of light and film paper independently, enhancing my understanding of their role in pinhole photography.
Photo Development Skills: I acquired and applied photo development skills in our darkroom, from exposure to final prints.
Darkroom Setup: I played a crucial role in establishing our darkroom, ensuring it met the necessary standards for photo development.
Throughout this project, many pinhole cameras were designed and fabricated. Alongside my fellow students, we captured a number of images on photographic film, which we then developed and presented. This project had the interesting aspect of merging engineering with art, noting the artistic and elegant aspects of both the photos taken and the camera itself.
