- Learn to make visually arresting images by using this very simple natural phenomena
    Scott McMahon, Pinhole Photography, Photography Classes and Workshops at Project Basho in Philadelphia PA
Scott McMahon
Description: Learn different methods of pinhole imaging, camera designs and concepts. Participants will investigate the different principles of pinhole photography and construct and then photograph with their own camera creations. We will experiment with and even make our own zone plates (a distant relative of pinhole), retrofit existing cameras, 35mm, medium and large format, holga, even digital with pinhole apertures. We will also explore slit imaging and multiple pinholes in this four-day lens-free extravaganza. Also, as a part of the workshop, students will participate in the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day and will submit their work to the website.
