Orange photographer Jude Keogh will showcase photos taken with a home-made pinhole camera made from a chocolate tin in her exhibition Wild Pinhole Shots.
Miss Keogh made her first pinhole camera in 2008 and has previously exhibited in Ecuador for World Pinhole Day, as well as in Orange.
”With pinhole it’s quite artistic, it’s not just results from mass-produced cameras,” she said.
“I made that first pinhole camera because I’d been a photographer for over 10 years at that stage and I’d never taken a pinhole photograph. I thought I owed it to myself, and to test myself out. It’s the original way photos were created, how they were invented. You have to wait for your photos again, it’s not instant, you have to wait to see how your photos have turned out.”
Along with having to wait for film to be developed, Miss Keogh said the home-made pinhole camera did not have a viewfinder and each image took 15 to 20 seconds to capture.
”You don’t have a viewfinder so you’ve just got to hope you’ve got it lined up, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t,” she said.
”With this one I aimed to get more people and animals. They are harder to photograph because they have to stay still.”
Wild PinHole Shots exhibition and wine tasting will be held from 5pm at De Salis Wines on Mt Lofty Road at Nashdale.
The exhibition will be on display until November 2.
