Competition film

The Pinhole Perspective

Made by: David Stokes

Synopsis

A "good to know" film about three retired guys from Kendal who share a common interest in producing photographic images using pinhole cameras. The film gives the viewer a brief but fascinating insight into the principals and retro techniques of pinhole camera photography. The narrator, one of the three subjects featured in the film, explains the pros's and con's of capturing images using a camera that doesn't have a viewfinder or a lens; and why, for them, this method is preferred.

More Info

The film has been shown between April and October 2009 at Levens Hall in Cumbria where it was filmed. It was included as part of an exhibition of pinhole photographs taken in and around the hall by the subjects of the film in 2008.
