Pinhole Photography is a very inspiring pinhole book, starting off with a history of pinhole photography, both the ideas behind pinholing and the techniques.

The book illustrates many artists way of working with pinholes, their approaches to and philosophies behind pinholing. The second half of the book is very hands on in terms of exposure tables, formulas and different ways of working. A great book for those wanting a deeper understanding of pinholing. Beginners start elsewhere.

"Pinhole cameras make intriguing, somewhat diffused images, with great depth of field. If you've wondered how to make these images, you'll be fascinated by this book."
