Eric Renner explains the origins of pinhole photography beautifully in his comprehensive book ‘Pinhole Photography, From Historic Technique to Digital Application’. From the earliest recorded descriptions of pinhole optics by Mo Ti in China (400 BC) right through to Joseph Nicéphore Niépce’s first ever ‘heliograph’ and work by more current pinhole photographers. Solar photography or heliography images from artists such as Dominique Stroobant and Hiroshi Yamazaki precede our digital era. But with the advent of modern scanning technology and the internet, Diego Lopez Calvin, Slamowir Decyk and Pawel Kula initiated project ‘Solaris’ in 2000 and dubbed the practice ‘solargraphy’ . The project aimed to capture half-yearly records of the sky between solstices in different parts of the world. The cameras used in the Solaris project were ordinary pinholes with light-sensitive paper inside and the project was open to all those interested. Konrad Smolenski, Wojtek Hoffman, Przemek Jesionek and Ramon Chomon were also experimenting with a similar technique. Tarja Trygg set up the Global Project of Solargraphy and carried on collecting images from all around the world. As a result, the process of using pinhole cameras for heliography or solargraphy became increasingly popular. In our technologically driven era, this wondrous simplicity is captivating the imagination of many inquisitive minds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/1616095656380-RS1CM9KBK5UMPMKU64EO/IMG.jpg History - Dominique Stroobant Dominique Stroobant, a Belgian-born stone sculptor and pinhole photographer was one of the true pioneers in using solar activity to make time sequencing cameras in the late 1970’s. ‘In addition to stone sculpture, Stroobant employed the nearly forgotten technique of pinhole photography since 1977. While working on his stone sundials, he asked himself this simple yet surprising question: “What does a sundial see?” For Stroobant, this was the beginning of an exciting journey into the world of the pinhole camera. For him, it is an artist’s duty to probe the unknown and the possibility of failure is an essential component. In his work, Stroobant often deliberately assumes the position of a beginner who is not satisfied with established methods, and instead seeks primary experience from the sheer joy of experimentation. In the context of a new appreciation for slowness, we must mention Stroobant’s trials in which he prolonged the exposure time from one day to the unbelievable interval of six months. The result was a series of photographs that derive their allure from the path of the sun. They are playful experiments in producing previously unseen images, which expand the viewer’s perceptual horizons. The slow process of etching the image into the material is the connection between pinhole photography and sculpting. The light and the tool both leave their marks. In addition, both techniques require methodical planning according to scientific criteria in order to achieve relevant, verifiable and in principle also repeatable results’. Shortened version of Dirk Pörschmann’s essay, written on the occasion of the Dominique Stroobant’s monograph published by Axel and May Vervoordt Foundation in association with Axel Vervoordt Gallery and AsaMER, an imprint of MER.

Fixing his camera over a featureless coastline, Yamazaki captures the slow arc of the sun with super long exposures. His powerful compositions capture bands of sunlight and their fierce reflection on the water below. The Photographic Society of Japan awarded him first prize in 1983 for a series of time-exposed photographs of the sun over the sea. One of his interests is pursuing the role light plays in photography, rather than just reproducing scenic beauty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/18d5f7bc-063c-4a77-9ae2-f818d3bb5b56/Screenshot+2021-06-03+at+09.47.09.png History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/21b72300-4e72-4a13-aac2-80d635e84ddc/Screenshot+2021-06-03+at+10.13.07.png History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/2d9cd7e4-a199-47bf-85b2-40a67cf66bfe/Screenshot+2021-06-03+at+10.05.00.png History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/c9d37932-9ebc-4c64-978a-1b7191d594a7/download-6.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/fcce459d-5115-47c0-8e1b-a37d136ee02b/Frambozenveld.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/307740f6-cc0d-47b3-83f4-1d4c185cc42f/Screenshot+2021-06-03+at+08.19.38.png History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/858e53c8-4163-4b64-b2fd-95fea82e1ba2/images.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/5536c931-683e-4fef-a704-59adb19e72e1/images-1.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/75d992cc-623a-4c56-aacc-715379ca875e/08-Lumen_Brug_3_670.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/3e1296d0-6234-44fa-8e3d-a7f6cea30a5e/3dee0553744232b8e1a4e800c7a6e90054b227b6.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/aa58e743-2775-4d11-a8d5-d9024dd0e2d6/download.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/01023f86-122f-4152-bbb1-f08f7c4a0a04/download.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/6cddbc4e-3777-4724-93d1-c23ab312a4fe/Screenshot+2021-06-03+at+09.25.28.png History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/834ac6fb-4d43-4d49-b2a5-b88e0d2d011e/download-7.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/50d61ab0-689c-4523-bc00-d62c952d088f/download-3.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/4e4c765e-924c-40ca-9bdc-f3cd5e7ada01/ontalvilla-del-tormo-211209.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/74104984-0356-445c-8177-e4cdcc385496/Screenshot+2021-06-03+at+09.50.19.png History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/41b49469-be45-4ef6-8709-a0630645086d/68778-small.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/deb48311-9a22-4fe7-b09b-be62eeca7699/I0000MKfzJqt4GhY.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/4fe69065-d64f-40e6-8723-3c2cb306c7c9/Screenshot+2021-06-03+at+10.35.44.png History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/b0918bba-4c92-4f5b-95f1-e9ef4c8fd36e/download-1.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/56a3bb54-5fd6-45c1-8f69-8b4c935e54ff/Screenshot+2021-06-03+at+08.47.20.png History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/396d2342-4b58-4b1a-8b75-62b3443fde6e/download-4.jpg History https://obscura-photography.co.uk/faq daily 0.75 2021-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/1623180896692-QIP85MCZXNZQ26654TBF/Unknown-4.jpeg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/1623711824435-L3N9X08BSM7PZQMTJT06/8years-twist-800pix.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/1623711847996-9AMPMAVCFNVDJKBFIZIC/spindome-800.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/1623080137353-7IBVTPELX6V6OHGPWTMT/Unknown-2.jpeg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/1623233355850-MTI6OD7CI9UKJSXAV12H/comparisonblack.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd39bc3d09a3362b460928a/1617958874002-98JXW95T7XQPOQ7UZWKB/EarthCirclesAndSunRays.png FAQ - Another reason why the sky is not totally filled with white lines after an eight year exposure could be because of latitude. This is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. As the Earth travels around the Sun, the hemisphere that is tilted towards or away from the Sun changes. The hemisphere that is tilted towards the Sun is warmer because sunlight travels more directly to the Earth's surface so less gets scattered in the atmosphere. The seasons are a result of the Earth's tilt. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. When the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Places on or near the equator get more hours of sunlight and would therefore show more sun trails as opposed to our often gloomy Britain.

Photographic paper) Solargraphs can not be as easily read as an ordinary photograph. In this image there are clear light streaks in the foreground, its origin a puzzle at first. Because of the long exposure, things of which we are not aware, happen within the frame. Also, our human eye does not detect changes over a longer period. Solargraphs make the invisible become visible and it takes our mind a little bit longer to realise what it is looking at.
