As most family's struggle to make ends meet at the moment it is of no surprise to me that
things here at Paparazzistyle have slowed down.
The upside of this is that I have a bit more free time to experiment with my pinhole photography which is starting to show some interesting results, it is also great fun. The
images that this technique produces are quite unpredictable and unlike anything I have created before.
The camera I am currently using cost a few pounds from e-bay and has suffered the indignity of having its lens removed and replaced with a piece of aluminium foil pie dish with a tiny hole in it. (Pukka steak pie dishes are best as they are black).
Using this unusual pairing of cheap camera and outdated film,I have managed to produce this impressionistic style of image which I am very pleased with. It is really nice to be using film again as it seems to bring more of a craft feel to the work it also means that each frame
receives a little more care with visualisation, framing and exposure as each film only gives
12 exposures unlike my memory cards.
Not only are the pinholes starting to look good but the pies are quite tasty too !
Until the next exposure...
