Welcome to my limited edition pinhole photography series, capturing the quiet, timeless atmosphere of Whangamatā’s beaches. Created using a homemade cardboard-box camera and traditionally developed in the darkroom, the resulting images embody an uncanny stillness. The long exposures - typically 6-10 seconds - purify the scene, blurring movement and removing extraneous detail to focus solely on a central, often solitary, young female subject.
This technique effectively freezes time while simultaneously revealing its passage, transforming the photograph into a memory, a fleeting moment, or a dreamlike state. The resulting mystery evokes a spectrum of emotions, lending the work its unique, haunting beauty.
