World Pinhole Photography Day

World Pinhole Photography Day is a celebration of the art of capturing images using a simple pinhole camera. This unique form of photography involves creating images without the use of a lens, relying instead on the basic principles of light and shadow.

What is Pinhole Photography?

Pinhole photography is a technique that dates back to ancient times, where light passes through a tiny hole in a light-tight box or container to create an image on light-sensitive material inside. It's a simple yet fascinating way to capture the world around us in a different light (pun intended).
