PINHOLE CAMERA PROJECT

Did you know that you can create a working camera using an aluminum can and a piece of cardboard? That you can capture a moment of your everyday life just exposing a piece of photographic paper for less than 30 seconds?That is the power of a pinhole camera. Using creativity and some art and crafts skills, I made my first pinhole camera out of a paper box, obtaining fast and fascinating shots that I later developed in the mystery of the dark room. After that, a meticulous and precise work was done using the Photoshop 2022 program, to add colors, details, a vignette and tones. This project has shown me how easy it is to get a real art instrument from a basic piece of paper, and what a long and accurate work is hidden behind a single detail of a piece of art.
