#PinholePhotographyDay

Ditch the digital world today and use a classic pinhole camera. If you don't have one, share your favorite pinhole photography and tag it on social media!

Last Sunday of April

What Does #PinholePhotographyDay Mean?

Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is celebrated on the last Sunday of April and brings together photographers who create images using the most basic camera possible - a lightproof box with a tiny hole. No lens, no electronics, just light passing through a pinhole onto film or photo paper. The results are dreamy, soft-focus images that have a quality digital cameras simply cannot replicate.

How to Use #PinholePhotographyDay

Build a pinhole camera from a shoebox or tin can and share your results, imperfections and all. The lo-fi aesthetic is the whole point. Photography communities love seeing pinhole work, and tutorials on building one get great engagement from people who want to try it.
