📸 We installed a Camera Obscura at Wood Green Library. The camera obscura is the precursor to the camera, it is also known as a pinhole image. We started the workshop seeing the world upside down, then went on to build, shoot & develop unique pinhole images in the darkroom.

Workshop 2

🗓️ 13th November 2023

📸 We created “Awfullogrammes” at a workshop led by @justin_quinnell our great inspiration. We used flash guns, pinhole cameras and extreme close up compositions. We developed the photographs in our pop-up darkroom. After the workshop in just over an hour we heard Justin’s fascinating talk, ‘Aristotle’s Hole’ : the Science, 500 million year history and the immense variety of contemporary approaches to pinhole photography. It was an amazing day!

Workshop 3
