Join us for this lively and engaging workshop in which we’ll investigate the artisanal qualities of lensless photography. Participants can expect to discuss the historical and contemporary uses of lensless photography, learn about different camera options and then design and construct a camera to achieve different types of images. Spend time using the camera(s) to make images and developing/printing those images in the darkroom. We’ll also enjoy discussions regarding the counterpoint these "primitive" techniques play in the world of contemporary photography, peer review of participants pinhole work, and how the longer exposures inherent to pinhole work affect both the images and the act of making them.
The workshop runs 8–10 September, 2007 at the Peters Valley Craft Center, 19 Kuhn Rd Layton, NJ, US. It will be run by Tom Persinger, who is an accomplished pinhole camera builder & photographer, runs the f295 Lensless Photography and Alternative and Adapted Process photography fora, is the organiser of the upcoming 2007 Symposium on Lensless, Alternative and Adaptive Photographic Processes, and has written numerous magazine articles on lensless imaging. In short: you’re in good hands!
