Photography is driven by technological innovation, but Adventures with Pinhole and Home-made Cameras strikes off in a radically different direction. Featuring the images of renowned artists and photographers, it describes a variety of imaginative approaches, using camera construction techniques which range in sophistication from precision engineering with state-of-the-art lenses to piercing a pinhole in a beer can! Visual aspects of the book are complemented by an extensive practical section, including guidelines on image formation and step-by-step procedures for exposure control, as well as diverse methods of building and adapting camera bodies. John Evans is a photographer and writer who has been making cameras and associated equipment since the 1960s.
