Hello everyone!

Do come along to my American students bi-annual photography exhibit over on Zoom next Sunday 7th at 7pm UK time/1pm CST/2pm EST.

They are flying and soaring with their photography and other areas of life, they’d love to share all their news with you, along with their stunning photography.

We also have a special class announcement that is being revealed in the live show!

Purchase your ‘ticket’ by simply donating £10 to their class fundraiser to help realise their in-person photographic exhibit show dreams: https://gofund.me/ba98af17 We will send you the show link the morning of the show ☺️

If you are unable to attend but would like to support, please donate a ticket(s) so one of the students friends can join us who might otherwise not be able to attend the show.

Re-sharing this post is a great way to support for free, too!

Come along and see some awesome work from an all American, all female, differently-abled photography collective 📸 Remember, representation rocks 🙌🏾🎉

I took this photo with a pinhole camera. You put the light sensitive paper inside your pinhole camera. You take an exposure reading with your light metre or your light metre app. Then you remove the lenscap and expose that light sensitive paper and you promptly put the lenscap back on.

The first image is the inverted image. Swipe to see what pinhole photographs look like once they’ve been developed. They basically look like a negative! Which they are.

Swipe to see my fancy pants pinhole camera. ☕️🤭

I take a few exposures and carry them around in a light sensitive bag. Then I run home to delevop them and see the photos come to life 👩🏽‍🔬🥽🥼🧪🔬🎞️📷. There’s nothing more magical than using a camera made with your hands 🙌🏾 out of nothing but household waste/recycling! ✨🪄

Ensuring the pin is pin sized is quite hard, but the smaller the pinhole in your camera is, the sharper your images will be. Fun!

This was my second time ever trying pinhole photography and there was a 12/13yr break since the first time!
