Pinhole photography

Pinhole photography involves capturing images using a simple, light-tight box with a tiny hole (pinhole) in one end. Light from a scene passes through this small aperture and projects an inverted image onto the opposite interior surface, typically a photographic paper or sensor. Unlike conventional cameras with lenses, a pinhole camera relies solely on the small aperture to focus light, creating a sharp image with a wide depth of field. This technique emphasizes the fundamental principles of optics and offers an artistic, vintage aesthetic while requiring longer exposure times due to limited light entry.
