Pinhole photography is a simple and ancient technique that captures images using a light-tight box or camera with a tiny hole, called a pinhole, instead of a lens. When light passes through this small opening, it projects an inverted image of the scene outside onto a photosensitive surface inside the camera, such as film or photographic paper. This method allows for a unique depth of field and soft focus, creating images with a distinct aesthetic. Pinhole cameras can be made from various materials, including cardboard or metal, making them accessible for both amateur and professional photographers interested in exploring alternative photography techniques.
