The First Project

Our first assignment in our pinhole photography class was to take a picture of a hole. This hole could be a literal hole or a metaphorical hole or really just anything conceptually that goes along with the "hole" theme. The next four scanned 3x5 negatives are what I came up with.

The Bathroom in Bradley Hall Series

These pinhole photographs were done indoors with artificial spots. The exposure time for them ranged three to five minutes. I had a very patient model! The pinhole camera was great for this indoor exposure. Although my model had to stay still for a very long time, this effect, the deep shadows and fogginess of the series was exactly what I had wanted for this shoot. The bathroom in Bradley Hall at Rutgers- Newark is an incredible set with a very particular character that I was able to portray through the pinhole medium.
