Pinhole Photographer - Justin Quinnell

Justin Quinnell is a pinhole photographer who started of getting a degree in fine-art photography and made his way to teaching pinhole photography. He made the transfer from camera to can when he was teaching kids photography, but as they didnt have enough money to buy a camera, but enough to buy cans of coke, Quinnell came up with the idea to teach them with cans converted to pinhole photography. He first taught them how to make their very own pinhole camera and then how to set up, with the best angles and then how to scan the image that they had created from the light sensitive paper used inside the can.

 One of  Quinnell's most popular images is the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England, where he took a 6 month pinhole exposure from a dark winter night to a warm summer day not expecting the can to have survived, yet not only had it survived it ended up producing a stunning image from a simple can and time.
