Pinhole photography
The photographers



 A part of my blog has to be about photographers and pinhole camera photos , who have used pinhole taking images .

My first chosen photographer is Mark Tweedis who discovered pinhole photography seven years ago and thinks its a expressive medium. he has been making and producing his own style of pinhole photography and
He has made his own pinhole cameras . He also has his work held in collections worldwide with prints of his images available for sale.Surprisingly he has also made a book about his life in pinhole photgraphy.

In his bio Mark explains how its like being a person that takes pinhole images and says that one image could take up hours to produce,but it graces the image with a powerful sence of narrative.He produces photographs in a series or sequence rather than single image.And when he takes his first image he will often sparks ideas for modifications, expansions and developmenta on the scene of his image.He also explains every image is unexpected for how it looks like , and that gives him a wonder and excitment when producing photos .He finds pinhole cameras primitive and relatively a uncontrollable media but spending a day achieving little in material terms still has a fundamentally satisfying aspect to it.

I find Mark as a person who enjoys working with pinhole cameras and understands that or though images might not be what he expects it gives him excitment and is satisfying even if hardly much is achieved


This is some of his work

A collection of images from a four-day journey on foot across the northern part of Dartmoor. The cardboard Populist proved the ideal pinhole camera for the trip, being light and, encased in an improvised plastic housing, robust enough for the tough conditions

East Dart River


My favoirate photo is the East Dart River. I really like how the river looks smooth and as if it had a fluffy texture. And also you can still tell it is moving down the stream.
