pinhole
Camera and Lens: Sony a6000, Holga Pinhole Lens
Settings: ISO 1600, 1/3 sec
This is my favorite image I've made with the Holga Pinhole Lens so far.
This is the view I get every morning when I'm in Spain and I'm checking for the morning weather. The same ugly building, every day.
A completely different view when looking through the pinhole.
I believe that in imperfection lays the beautiful.
That's why I shot a Holga for quite a while, why I love to shoot film or use cheap lenses on my digital cameras.
Something I've wanted to try for a while was pinhole photography. I didn't want to do it on film because it could get expensive, so I built my own pinhole lens. That worked just fine but I didn't really like the idea of having the sensor exposed through a physical hole. I went ahead and bought a Holga Pinhole Lens on eBay for 20-25 euros.
This is the lens I'm trying in this video, where everything is about embracing imperfection.
Every once in a while, I have an idea for a project and work on it for a few hours or days. Then I realize that those images (or videos) I created don't really fit in with the rest of my work, and discard them. Well, not happening anymore.
Introducing The X Projects, a jumble where any weird, odd and probably wrong idea I have will find its place to live forever and ever.

I love playing around with different photographic techniques and camera gear to create stuff.
