Pinhole Photography - History, Images, Cameras, Formulas<br />

By Jon Grepstad<br />

Introduction<br />

Pinhole photography is<br />

lensless photography.<br />

A tiny hole replaces the<br />

lens. Light passes<br />

through the hole; an<br />

image is formed in the<br />

camera.<br />

Pinhole cameras are small or large, improvised or designed with great care.<br />

Cameras have been made <strong>of</strong> sea shells, many have been made <strong>of</strong> oatmeal<br />

boxes, coke cans or cookie containers, at least one has been made <strong>of</strong> a<br />

discarded refrigerator. Cameras have been cast in plaster like a face mask,<br />

constructed from beautiful hardwoods, built <strong>of</strong> metal with bellows and a<br />

range <strong>of</strong> multiple pinholes. Station wagons have been used as pinhole<br />

cameras – and rooms in large buildings. Basically a pinhole camera is a box,<br />
