The Pinhole Collection
South Africa is a haven for photography enthusiasts, offering a variety of opportunities ranging from landscapes, culture and more. The following collection mainly focuses on the Western and Northern Cape regions, but it will continue to expand as Craig explores other areas.
The Pinhole Collection is a unique collection that I call “perfectly imperfect.” The images captured through this camera will never be sharp, but rather have a softness and vignette effect that is characteristic of this camera.
A pinhole camera is a simple camera that lacks a lens but has a tiny aperture, making it a light-proof box with a small hole on one side. The light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side, known as the camera obscura effect. The size of the image depends on the distance between the object and the pinhole.
Pinhole photography is a slow and precise form of photography that requires patience. Photographers who choose to work with pinhole cameras often wait for minutes, hours or even days for their images to be captured through the pinprick in the front of their camera. More time is spent processing the image, and due to the uncertainty of the camera and its many variables, the photograph may never appear at all. Nevertheless, when it does, the reward is tremendous.
