PINHOLE CAMERA
A pinhole camera is a camera without a lens, but with a tiny aperture at the end which captures the light and inverts the image. This way the image then transfers. It's a light proof box.
The camera was invented in the middle ages and is now used sporadically by artists from the 1960's to the present day.
One pinhole artist is Nuala Mahon, who took the "Seabed Sanctuary Collection. She used a pinhole camera on the sand of a beach with a subject in each photograph. The camera then inverted the image and transferred it to paper, where it ended up inverted and black and white.
