When Fred was assigned a pinhole camera to build in his 2D/3D design class, he casually asked whether he could turn his garage into a Camera Obscura. With his mom’s hesitant agreement, he drilled a hole in the door, painted the wall and rearranged the furniture. The result is an upside-down projection of the outside world on the back wall. What you see below is a photograph of that projection.
This is Claudia Mayer’s pinhole shower camera, made for her 2D/3D design class. The negative image is made with the camera and the positive is a contact print made in the darkroom.
Here are some more pinhole cameras made in the 2D/3D design class. And below you will find a few images made with some of those camera. If you are interested in pinhole cameras, check out world pinhole day.
Here is a sample of black and white portraits from the Intro Photo class in the first semester. These come from the students’ first or second ever roll of film.
