ABC radio Artworks Amanda Smith disscussed with David Tatnall the beauty of the low tech pinhole camera. "David Tatnall is probably best known as a wilderness photographer, but he's also a champion of new ways of seeing using old technology."
This workshop will take up where basic Pinhole Camera Workshop left off and will explore large format pinhole, panoramic pinhole, the making of contact prints and prints from pinhole negatives as well as methods of determining exposure for pinhole. Participants will have the opportunity to use 4 x 5 and 8 x10 pinhole cameras as well as making their own camera.
The workshop is designed for those who have an understanding of pinhole photography and want to explore it further.
David Tatnall has been a practising fine art photographer since 1975. His art is to produce handcrafted fine prints using traditional photography techniques, using medium & large format cameras.
The National Gallery of Victoria, Monash Gallery of Art, City of Melbourne, State Library of Victoria and other public and private collections have collected his work.
In 2006 he received a grant from the City of Melbourne to produce a series of pinhole photographs using a handcrafted 8 x 10 pinhole camera.
A pinhole photograph from his series Transience has been short listed in the 2007 William and Winifred Bowness Photography Prize
