Pinhole Research

Pinhole photography is quite easy but the outcome is amazing. Its very self explanatory. Pinhole photography is where a light proof is pieced once with a pin or a small sharp object. This will be the only light/aperture source to the image. The light from the image you want will pass through this hole and will copy an inverted image on the other side of the box. The effect is that it is focused on one area of the scene making the rest of the image almost blurry but look like it has motion.

 A few pinhole photographers that I'm interested in are Mark Tweedie who's work is mainly to do with nature and the outdoors. Nancy Breslin, who's work to me is very unique. Using the pinhole to capture images in cafes and fairgrounds, and Steve Irvine who is very abstract with his work. All these photographers interest me because of how different they are to each other.

abstract

For my abstract work, I was in Birmingham at the photography show. Inside, I couldn't find very much to photograph because it was very repetitive, well, nothing that I personally liked. However, looking back, I wish I took a lot more photos of different things, even if I didn't particularly like, and then just chose the best ten. 

When I think about architecture, I automatically think about buildings, as a lot of people do which is why I decided to shoot more with form.
