Experimentation with 'field of view' using a pin hole camera.
I have decided to shoot a series of portraits using two different pin hole cameras of different sizes, the largest and smallest
I will be trying each focal length with an up right portrait format
The objective is to explore the relationship between the subject and the effect of field of view behind the subject as this is an impact on the visual language. As aposed to using a digital camera with changing the focal length I will change the size of the box, before doing the same shoot with a digital camera I already had some knowledge on what was going to happen, that the field of view will be changed and distorted, with this method I have no knowledge on what is going to happen.
Light: when we're shooting, light is one of the vital things we focus on. Because of the lack of control over a pin hole camera I cannot make any decisions on what setting to put on the camera, because there are none. If I could, because of shooting on the balcony, I would shoot using a White balence of cloudy.
I will be using both the largest and smallest pin hole cameras
I'll be using George as a model. I'm hoping to have this shoot done by 12 o'clock, on my return, I'm hoping to produce a couple of photos and write a reflection/evaluation analyse the results
This is promising. You need to scan the images that you've produced and reflect on the outcomes. Get the images on your blog and write about the camera in technical terms and look at its merits in conjunction with your own idea.
