This series is part of my ongoing exploration of monochrome photography, but approached in a much simpler and more experimental way — using a pinhole camera.
All of these images are made with a handmade Pinsta pinhole camera. Unlike modern cameras, there is no lens, no digital screen, and very little control. Light simply passes through a tiny pinhole and slowly records the scene onto film. The process is slower, less predictable, and often full of surprises.
What I enjoy most about pinhole photography is the sense of discovery. The long exposures soften movement, blur the edges of things, and sometimes turn familiar places into something more atmospheric and dreamlike. Waves, clouds, and shifting light become part of the image in ways that feel almost painterly.
Working in black and white suits this process perfectly. The results are not always perfect, but that imperfection is part of the charm.
This collection marks the beginning of my journey into pinhole photography — an experiment in slowing down, embracing uncertainty, and seeing the world in a slightly different way.
