10 inspiring pinhole photos

Self Portrait with Big Damn Atlas by Katie Cooke

The fact that a friend of mine is doing a pinholes photography exhibition inspired me to start looking for some more fantastic examples of pinhole photography in the deepest depths of the FlickrWebs.

I discovered two things: I need to get back to low-fi photography, and there’s a lot of talented people out there.

But what am I doing waffling – I’m sure you just want to look at photos, don’t you? Can’t blame ya. Here you go!

Wanna have a go yourself?

If you want to try a spot of pinhole photography yourself, you could do a lot worse than reading Katie’s Teaching a Cardboard Box to be a Camera; it’s a great little introduction to creating your own pinholes.

Of course, you can also skip the film phase altogether and create a pinhole lens-cap for your dSLR camera!
