Biography

My primary artistic interest is pinhole photography using completely manual wood/brass pinhole cameras. I record both b/w and color images on large format (4×5) and medium format film. Free of the distractions of lenses and electronics, I must compose without the ability to see through through the camera. Exposure times range from 1 second to 1 hour, and digital scans of negatives enable enlargements to at least 4×5 feet in size.

Through the pinhole, the real becomes surreal, and I explore perspective, texture, and enhanced three dimensionality via my camera’s ultrawide, rectilinear field of view (160 degrees) and infinite depth of field.

Please visit my website to see over 100 other large format pinhole images. Limited-edition fine art prints of any of my pinhole photographs are available, and, if interested, please email me at  scott_speck at yahoo.com. I also do fine art portrait work with the pinhole camera, as well as works by commission.
