Pinhole Bodyscapes: Pinhole Camera Color Nude Photographs [Paperback]

George Arthur Lareau (Author, Photographer)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This album of bodyscapes was made with two pinhole cameras. Both of the cameras are commercially available for about $50 each. One is the Pinhole Blender Mini 120 and the other is the Holga 120WPC. The Pinhole Blender curves the film and multiple images can be overlapped and blended with feathered edges. The Holga is a wide-angle camera, producing 6x9cm and 6x12cm rectilinear images. The lighting I used was a single PowerLight 1500SL. This powerful flash unit had to be used at full output to correctly expose 400 ISO film because of the small apertures of the cameras (f/133 for the Holga and f/200 for the Blender). The photos were made using Kodak Portra 400NC 120 film. The Holga was sometimes tripod-mounted and both were usually hand-held. Focus and depth of field are no problem with pinhole cameras which permitted me to position the cameras very close to the models. The models in this album are all volunteers from Tucson, Arizona.
