Learn how to make and use your own camera in this exploration into the art of pinhole photography. With roots earlier than the dawn of photography itself, pinhole photography is still revered by artists for its simplicity of use and the uniquely expressive imagery it creates. Equally suited for both novices and experienced photographers, the class will offer techniques for optimizing your camera construction and exposure, as well as the opportunity to experience the magic of working in a photographic darkroom.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THIS COURSE
1. How to build a light-tight camera
