Pinhole Photography
Sponsored by: Creative Arts Workshop
Take the mystery out of photography when you learn how to make your own working pinhole camera. The pinhole camera is a simple device that can take unique pictures with infinite depth of field. You can make a pinhole camera out of just about any hollow object. In this course, students will learn about the history of photography, see some of the first camera designs and the earliest known photographs. Then we’ll discover how we can adapt and adopt the basic ideas behind these early cameras for our own hand-built pinhole cameras. In part two of the workshop, students will learn to start shooting pictures using photographic paper negatives. Then we’ll go in the darkroom where students will learn how to develop paper negatives and how to make prints. This is a hands-on course using sharp tools and photochemistry.
