Scanned colour pinholes



This is a self portrait created by on of my pinhole cameras, the original is the colour version at the top, where I placed colour photography paper inside of my pinhole camera and developed it. I have then gone on to scan in the original to create the bottom version. Again, scanning in a colour photograph and adjusting the colours has allowed me to discover more detail in the photograph, especially on the left eye. Now a pupil can be seen where as before you just knew it was there, due to the variations of hue in colour. Although, these are both essentially the same photograph they could maybe be mistaken for different ones. They both give me varying feeling when I see them too, when I look at the bottom self portrait I get a much more morbid and dazed feeling. This is simply due to the colour and the fact there is a sense of looking in the bottom version, where as the eyes don't seem to have much point of vision in the top, it is more like an image of a heat radar.
