Francois Xavier > August 2008 – Featured Pinhole Photographer

“I began shooting with a pinhole cameras because I wanted to simplify my photography approach as much as possible. I wanted to go back to the simple source, to the basis of the photographic image creation. A box, a hole and a piece of photosensible material.

This statement created needs of experimentation, of technical improvements and of diversification of my shooting systems, giving them different results and distortion of my environment.”

CK → I was pleased to have accidentally run across this talented French photographer and pinhole camera maker. I was especially impressed with François’ homemade Omniscope images. They really give a unique perspective of the classic and modern architecture that you find around France.
