This workshop will introduce students to the creative possibilities of low-tech photography. Reaching all of the way back to the Camera Obscura as inspiration, students will build their own lens-less pinhole cameras using everyday objects with the instructor and discuss the basic principles of exposure. Once the cameras are constructed, students will venture off into the city to make photographs and then return to NESOP's darkroom where they will learn to develop their unique exposures. No darkroom experience necessary!
Prerequisite: Students must be age 15-18 yrs to enroll.
