Onwards with pinhole and live art; I picked up the dried prints today. They’re an improvement on the first batch but much work needs to be done to get anywhere near the standard of image I intend to achieve. I am a novice after all and the whole process it about learning from my mistakes.
Lighting is important. I seem to have pure white and pure black in the images. It’s dramatic. All detail is lost. Florescent tubes direct the eye to a central point which is not always the intended focal points of the image.
To get an idea of what is possible I am researching other artists who use pinhole and some who use it to document live art. Here’s the list so far:
Peter Richards http://www.richardspeter.co.uk/
Of course Justin Quinnell http://www.pinholephotography.org/
Jamie House http://www.pinholeparcelproject.com/
Martha Casanave http://marthacasanave.com/narratives.htm
And a handmade paper making artist using photography so exciting Helen Hiebert http://helenhiebertstudio.com/Film.html
Alyssa Salomon http://alyssasalomon.com/home.html
Okay that’s enough I’m too excited about all this I’ll never sleep.
