Pinhole Photography/Photographers

The following is a collection of pinhole photographers and samples of their work with notes:


Peter Donahoe:

The following two pinhole camera shots were by Peter Donahoe. Both were shot using toned silver gelatin prints. I really like how the prints make the photo look old despite being taken in 2002. The reflection on the lake makes it interesting.








This shot has also been taken with toned silver gelatin materials. This photo, like the previous, looks old but its interesting because the farm looks moderately modern. There seems to be some dark patches in front of the main building and above the tower which could be due to under exposure.










David F. Stein:

This photo is of an old ‘John Deere farm machine’. Like the above pictures, this seems to have a gelatin tone. I like this photo because it looks very mechanical and industrial.




This pinhole was taken on 120 colour slide film. I love how the clouds have been captured as they all look light and fluffy. I also love how exotic all the colours are in this photo.







Rod Stewart:

 This photo is possibly my favourite of this collection. It looks like film quality from the 70s with slight grain. The setting itself is interesting by having a boat in a very dry location which makes it alienated.
This black and white photo is very striking. The wooden fence acts as a foreground and the car/house as a background. The foreground and background merge together to form one unified midground. Add onto that…it’s a beautiful car!
