A pinhole camera has no lens. Light simply passes through a tiny hole.
There is no viewfinder so the composition must be approximated. Exposure times are lengthy: anywhere from several seconds to several hours. These long exposures play with our preconceived notions of photography. Rather than a split second capture, passages of time are crammed onto a single frame.
Think cinematic crunch: 24 seconds on a frame instead of 24 frames per second. The flow of any movement doesn't just freeze but condenses on that lone frame.
The resulting images can evoke narratives of time, memory and mood.
