Making a Six Month Pinhole Exposure

Via the Phoblographer, recommended by Wes Folsom

Matt Bigwood hails from the UK and has been a photographer since 1986, and recently showed us a photo from a long term project that he worked on. The photo above is a six month long exposure using a beer can converted into a pinhole camera. Pinhole photography is amongst the earliest forms of the craft, and it is practiced by many still even today. We’ve reviewed pinhole adapters for mirrorless cameras before and we’ve even taken part of World Pinhole Day: a once a year festival that celebrates all things pinhole.

Recent work from ART 120 Photography, where students built their own cameras from common, everyday materials to produce fantastically dreamy photographs that bring light to their subjects and locations in new and fresh ways. Enjoy!

"My work is slow, handbuilt, and cumulative, rather like the layering of dust of memories over time."

The University of Louisville Hite Art Institute is pleased to announce an exhibition of pinhole photography by Jesseca Ferguson of Boston, Massachusetts, titled “Museum of Memory” in Gallery X of Schneider Hall Galleries on Belknap Campus.

Ferguson’s photography alludes to the passage of time, and to what she refers to as a “private interior library” which she believes serves as a paradigm for collective and personal memory. The work exhibited combines 19th, 20th, and 21st century photographic techniques.

Ms Ferguson will be a visiting artist at the Hite in September and present the Barbara Bullitt Christian Memorial Lecture titled “Presence, Absence, and Pinhole Photography” Thursday, September 18 at 6:30 pm in the Hite Galleries. A reception to meet the artist, beginning at 5:00 pm that afternoon, will precede her talk. For further information about Ms. Ferguson or Barbara Bullitt Christian Lecture, contact the Schneider Hall Galleries at (502) 852-6794.
