About the Work
A photo from my Pinhole photo series that I enjoyed producing. Pinhole photo ''Pinhole photography, one of the oldest photography techniques, is based on a very simple principle. You create your photo by taking enough light from an area as wide as a pinhole. Since you don't have a viewfinder, you adjust your frame with your imagination and thus the doors to a surreal world open up. (fotoğrafdergisi.com)'' We can define it as. What I enjoy about this process is that it is a process that is suitable for producing compositions outside of normal photography standards. Pinhole photography also stands out as a photography method that is open to surprises with its experimentality and uncertainty. I use a handmade medium format pinhole camera made by a carpenter. I develop and scan the films myself.
