Over a year ago, ƒ/D (www.fslashd.com) was born out of a passion for pinhole photography. The goal was to show the world what can be done with the simplest tools in photography. In the time since, we’ve displayed hundreds of photos, interviewed numerous talented photographers, and spread a wealth of info on pinhole techniques.
About the ƒ/D Book of Pinhole
While photobooks are a great way to collect photography, the pinhole photography community is greatly under-represented on bookshelves. In response, we ran a call for entry asking photographers to show us what they’ve seen through a pinhole. We received an overwhelming response from around the world, and selected 99 photos to publish in a book created to celebrate pinhole photograpy.
In all, the book features 60 black & white and 39 color photos. The photographs represent techniques that demonstrate the “pinhole look” in general as well as the unique ways in which pinhole works with motion and time, bent film planes, infrared, and other techniques and formats.
