Pinhole Camera in Your Pocket

by Susheel Chandradhas

Most serious or semi-serious photographers have wanted to use a pinhole camera, but thought that it would be too complicated to make one themselves, or possibly just didn’t know how.

Now, if you’re interested, you could make one yourself, out of a matchbox, a tin can, curled binder plastic and a whole lot of tape.

MatchboxPinhole.com brings you a full-fledged tutorial in 9 simple steps:

  • What you’ll need
  • The Box
  • The Pinhole
  • Shutter
  • Clicker
  • Loading
  • Light-Proofing
  • Winder
  • Using

That’s it, and you’re on your way to taking photographs such as these:
