SOLARIGRAPHIC ALBUM AND WORK FILES


In this album I present my project files and digital sketches. These are not final printfiles. Final prints are carefully chosen and digitaly remastered. Some of my current works are more and more abstract and experimental, as you can see on work files. Basically I am fascinated by odd results that I get with these simple pinhole cameras. Light still makes pictures but photographer does not control final out come. PhotoShop is just a tool and I add “spices” with it to scanned B&W papers.

While making this project for Ar museum I planted a camera to my granny's tomb, in graveyard. I just got cameracan back (2010). It was tilted, can was wet and B&W-paper inside was exposured somehow.

ULTRA SLOW PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY

WHAT IS SOLARIGRAFIA?

Basically solarigraphic camera is a pinhole camera, very slow one. These pinhole photographs taken with a lensless pinhole camera with a extra long exposure. I use black&white paper which is 5-10 ASA. Exposure time can be very long, in some photos up to six months. Usually average camera is hidden in city for one to two months. The picture will appear without developing photographic paper with any kind of chemicals. Exposured paper is scanned in darkness and developed in Photoshop. All the cameras are very low tech, cheap boxes, canisters or film cans. This method in is antidope for digital photographic madness. I can take only like 5 pictures in month.

Sun draws many interesting traces in photos, you can really see the time passing by. Some times camera is tilted by passerby or tape just goes loose. Double exposures or traces of humidity can be seen in photos.
