Experiencing the beginnings of photography

Workshop: The pinhole camera at the Cavaillon intercommunal media library

With L’appareil photographique à sténopé, les familles sont invitées à découvrir et expérimenter les premiers principes de la photographie.

The pinhole is a camera without optics, which works thanks to a small hole of small diameter and photo paper.

A simple and fascinating artistic practice for understanding how light can be captured as an image.

A camera without a lens

A small hole

The pinhole works through a tiny opening that lets light in.

Photo paper

Light impresses a sensitive surface, making it possible to create a photographic image.

An image to be revealed

After shooting, participants discover the stages of photo development.

Experiment Prise de vue, révélation & partage
 

Develop your images after shooting

After understanding the principle of the pinhole, participants will be able to experiment with shooting and observe how light becomes an image.

The workshop continues with an ephemeral photo laboratory, to develop the photos taken during the session.

A concrete and fun way to understand the entire chain of photographic creation, from light to printing.
