The images above where created by the use of a pin hole camera. I made this camera by the use of a can (a long can/ energy drink can ). To begin we had to make the camera , we started of by emptying and rinsing out the can then cutting off the top. We then made a hole in the centre of the can with a pin. We then had to create a black out lid, to make this we cut out a circle that was the size of the opening at the top of the can and then getting piece of paper and wrapping round the can. Once we got the right measurements we taped them together then covered it in black duck tape. Finally we place a piece of electrical tape of the hole this blacked out the inside of the can meaning no light could get in at all.
To take the images we place a piece of light sensitive paper in there and made sure the hole was covered and the lid was on.We then got our subject to get into a position and then placed the camera down onto a flat stable surface so that the image doesn't come out out of focus or blurry. The only new technique i tried was the double exposure. The way this was created is that you would get your subject to stand or pose in one place and open the hole for 3 secs then get them to move to a completely different place and open for another 3 secs. This gives the illusion that there are two of them at once, this ended up being my favourite print. |
