Review:

As camera technology becomes ever more complex, it s good to see a book that shows you how to make your own. Build Your Own Pinhole Cameras explains in step-by- step detail how to make seven pinhole cameras including the delightfully named Like-A, the Pinolta, the Holeiflex and the Pinox. The guidance is clear and well illustrated, and a separate disk is enclosed with the book containing templates of the camera designs. Author Justin Quinnell is described as one of the world s leading pinhole photographers. He outlines the background history of pinhole photography and provides plenty of good technical advice. But perhaps most importantly, he shows what fun it is by providing a series of quirky photographs and mind-expanding ideas. --Black & White Photography magazine

In a sea of digital photography literature this book is a fun beacon of creativity, back to the hands-on side of photography that has only existed on the
sidelines in recent years. --What Digital Camera?
