Descrizione

Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (30 x 22 cm). In English and Turkish. 205, [3] p., b/w photographs. All 33 young photographers featured in this exhibition produced equally striking images with the help of light sieved through the tiny holes punctured on the surface of cans. In terms of both style and composition, which is very hard to create with a pinhole, they demonstrated a skillful use of light in the photographs they captured. The ways in which they chose to express their efforts emphasized that what indeed captures the image is not the camera, but the creative mind. Under the guidance of their teacher, a handful of young students from Adana proved that photography requires brains and commitment rather than expensive equipment. Students in other schools initiated photography workshops by using the same technique. The "Pinhole Photographs" exhibition at Istanbul Modern Photograph Gallery brings together the works of 33 young students enrolled in various primary and secondary schools across Adana, who are dedicated to the art of photography and use the same technique that a number of photographers across the globe choose to employ. 105 p.
