Wayne Belger – Pinhole Cameras

Belger Pinhole Camera

The very kind Lady Hoffman, of previous pinhole camera and metal book fame, wanted to share with me the works of an artist called Wayne Martin Belger – who amongst other things, makes delightful art-pinhole cameras like the one above (entitled ‘Untouchable’). Apparently, he uses his many pinhole cameras to also take photographs that you’ll find on his site, but in my mind, the pinhole cameras are really the stars. Look out in particular for ‘Classic’, ‘Skull’ and ‘Underwater’ – though my favourite is most certainly ‘Untouchable’ above.

While it could do with a little more brass, it’s certainly got leanings of Steampunk there. Far from it looking like a camera, you’d more imagine that some devilishly clever scientist has his purified aether vials in there for safekeeping.
