Inspiration Week of 8/22

This week for our inspirational post we’re happy to bring you something on the more experimental side. Playing with these techniques will usually give mediocre results at first, but with a bit of effort, the work will pay off. Once learned, I’d love to see how you apply these techniques to your own creative vision. Don’t forget to share your new work with us – here’s the submission guidelines!

No Title

Vanesa Henseleit is a talented and stylistically unique photographer from Santiago, Chile and she made this photo using partially overlapping multi exposures. It’s a wonderful example of the technique! Vanesa also dedicates a decent amount of her energy to her group, Lucky Pinhole, which conducts workshops, projects, and calls for pinhole work. I highly recommend you check out more of her work on her website.[spacer height=”20px”]

Scarecrow

David Stenström made this haunting image with a Robert Rigby 4×5 camera loaded with Fomapan 100. The exposure was roughly 2 minutes while the camera was pointed at a friend standing in a field of peas, whom David instructed to move slightly to bring the motion feel. David has some great work on his Flickr profile that is worth looking at![spacer height=”20px”]

Nite Flights

Andy Martin has a great project on display at his website called Nite Flights, combining long night time pinhole exposures and motion to get a visual embodiment of chaos. You can find the rest of these images on his website by clicking here. He also has more great work on his Flickr page.[spacer height=”20px”]

 

Get Inspired – 25 Minutes of Shopping

Today’s photo is another fine example of the experimental spirit of pinhole photography.

25 Minutes of Shopping

Martin Slunecko made this exposure for 25 minutes with his pinhole camera attached to the shopping cart with duct tape. He used no name 135 color negative film, converted to BW in post process. Next time someone tells you that you need $10K in photo equipment to make a great photo, show them this one.

You can find more of Martin’s work on his Flickr page.

 

Get Inspired – Lights

Today’s photo gets abstract!

Lights

We’ve featured some of Ingrid’s work before, and here we’ve got to do it again – and there may be an Artist Feature recognizing her work soon. Her images drip with mood.

This photo was chosen for today’s feature because it shows how magical the results can be if you leave the tripod at home. By going handheld, Ingrid’s pinhole images bring the emotional to the very forefront of the photo.

Ingrid can be found on Flickr and Facebook.
