Pinhegg: An Egg Pinhole Camera

Pinhegg: An Egg Pinhole Camera

Since yesterday was both Easter and Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, it inspired Francesco Capponi to attempt a project he’d been thinking about for years, converting an egg into a single-use camera obscura:
The purpose was to sacrifice the camera in the process of photo creation I wanted the camera to become the photograph. To let you understand, the process from the camera to the photograph is the same that ties the baby bird to the egg: the bird grows protected from the shell and when it’s ready breaks it and comes out. This is why I decided to create the Pinhegg An Egg Pinhole Camera.

Exploded Tattoo

Exploded Tattoo is a collaboration between painter Anna Stump, photographer Ted Meyer, and various models with single-image tattoos. For each model, a 9’x8′ painting was made to correspond to their body art, then the model and painting were staged for the photos. The end result is an original and stunning interpretation.
