Learn one of the oldest photographic methods!
During this one-day course, you will be introduced to pinhole photography. A form of photography, camera obscura, that dates back thousands of years. This course will not only introduce you to the basics of photography but will help you explore shooting in a completely new fashion compared to today’s photographic tools as well as introduce you to the fundamentals of working in a darkroom.
During this pinhole camera course you will engage in the following topics:
- The fundamentals of pinhole photography, camera obscura.
- How to shoot with, and engage with such a camera.
- Darkroom etiquette.
- How to develop photographic paper in a darkroom.
About the teacher:
The teacher of this course, Adrian Crawley, is a photography teacher from Reykjavík. Adrian graduated with a Masters in Fine Art from Sheffield before moving to Reykjavík to spend more time surrounded by worse weather and taller mountains.
Predominantly engaging with analogue photography, Adrian´s work relishes in its tactile nature. Fashioning his own cameras out of wooden contraptions to create unique pinhole imagery. Given the subject of a lot of his work being that of natural wilderness, the slower more meditative side to pinhole photography draws out a fascinating connection between photographer, subject, and use of technology.
