Why, in the age of efficiency and fast-paced imagery with digital tools, would someone choose the retrospection of the pinhole technique?
For sure, the answer goes up to this decisive interaction between the subject, the light drawing the stuff, the choice of the medium, the way it is exposed and the camera conception itself.

These endless combinations, based on several fundamental photographic characters, are primal. Yet, composing with the hazards of the system is purely technique, intuitive and personal.

Though pinhole beyond "previsualization" is actually out of your total control, it's sheer photography, elusive and therapeutic, involving a heap of highly technical skills.

It's a free-shooting experience that remains slightly eccentric and weird.
