Pinhole Photography

Jamie had discovered a love of Pinhole Photography at the age of 11 years when he attended a workshop at Chepstow Castle in South Wales. He mentioned how Cubism and Analytical Cubism has influenced his work, and how he became frustrated with the idea of the "Decisive Moment."
He wanted to work in a conceptual way and decided to contact Art Magazines asking people to receive pinthole cameras in the post, and to send them back to him. He was overwhelmed with interest from people all over the world. After two years he decided to Exhibit the photographs in a London Gallery. It has been a successful project.

He has continued with his work using pinhole cameras to photograph several faces of strangers, and he now has a  project using discarded cans to recycle as pinhole cameras as a creative expression.

Pinhole Photography does not particularly interest me. The images are quite interesting but personally I think as a style of photography, it is quite limiting.
