The negatives that I took for Assignment 2. 

photo 1 - Pinhole positives

 My final prints of two positives for assignment 2: A self portrait and “where my eyes cannot go”.

Velvet and Veins, inkjet print of pinhole photograph, 29.5 x 24 inches.

This pinhole photograph/photogram was taken by placing a a plastic sheet with moth and fly wings in the centre of my box camera in front of the photographic paper. 

Interwoven Light, inkjet print of pinhole photograph, 24 x 29.5 inches.

A single sheet of photographic paper was cut to cover the bottom of a cylindrical pinhole camera as well as the sides. Reflections of light were captured on the bottom of the tin can. 

photo 1 - Pinhole filters

 My abstract pinhole camera focuses on “natures filters”.

I took 2 approaches to this:

1) a kaleidoscope like pin-wheel of filters. Overall a blurring effect is achieved through this technique, since the light is obstructed so early on.

2) To avoid this blurring effect, I created filters that can be placed inside the camera to get clearer impressions of the natural subjects in the photographs. 

The camera itself. Wheel can be removed for a normal pinhole.
