Coastal Pinholes

‘The ‘mysterious beauty’ of the pinhole photographs lies in long exposure times, indefinite depth of field and a softness that creates a unique and special view of the coast.

Nothing more than a wooden box has created these beautiful almost ethereal images. A film holder at one end and a miniscule hole at the other, no viewfinder, batteries, click or buzz, no upgrades or updates, and no mega pixels. Exposure times are calculated using a cardboard dial.

Coastal Pinholes draws photographs from a wide range of places, from the beautifully named Point Ricardo at Cape Conran to remote and wild Bass Strait islands in Tasmania.’
