Camera Workshop with Las Fotos Project: Pinhole Camera Workshop

In this workshop led by Las Fotos Project, participants will learn about the development of the photographic camera by creating their own early prototype, the analogous pinhole camera! They’ll follow steps to construct a cardboard pinhole camera that will demonstrate basic camera functions. Once the camera is constructed, participants will have a hands-on demonstration of the optics of the human eye, and photographic cameras.

First, they’ll use their camera to experiment with focus and aperture, using premade f-stops to manipulate the sharpness and the brightness of the image projection in their camera. This camera will not record the image because it does not have light sensitive film or sensors, but it will demonstrate the other basic functions of a camera before the image is recorded.

Accessible to ages 12+
