Process Notes / I use a pinhole blender 120 format camera which has three pinholes that cause the image to overlap. I have especially enjoyed working with colour reversal film such as Fujifilm’s Provia 100F.

Artist Statement / I make some of my pinhole photographs with a Pinhole Blender 120 camera and colour reversal film. I am drawn to the slow, direct process of pinhole photography and the way it transforms familiar subjects through extended exposure and the absence of a conventional lens. I deliberately choose slide film rather than the more commonly used C-41 process for its distinctive contrast, colour and sharpness. The resulting images remain grounded in the physical photographic process while encouraging a slower, more contemplative way of seeing.
