The work emphasises colour and geometry, creates a strong sense of perspective and accepts the difficulties of pinhole photography - image softness, sun flares etc are all unavoidable parts of the show.
This project is a kind of “Slow Photography” in that it is film based, rather than digital. Because the cameras I use have pinholes rather than lenses, exposure times are more likely minutes rather than fractions of a second. On the other hand, the cameras are made with a 3d printer (from that grocery shop that has all those weird specials every week - you know the one).
