Mark Brown has been making pinhole cameras and photographs for more than 30 years. His principal photographic interests are landscapes and urban spaces.

“I like the simplicity of pinhole cameras – capturing some reflected light through a hole in a box to create a replica of a complex scene. The resulting image is a simple object, but it elicits complex meanings and interpretations.”

The image ‘Floating’ is a multiple exposure made in a pinhole camera of my own design and construction. This camera allows me to merge multiple images on the negative at the time of exposure. It allows me to combine multiple perspectives, and disparate images to create dream-like scenes. “Floating” is two overlapping exposures composed inside the camera (not digitally composited in the computer). I develop my own negatives, scan them, and do cropping, spotting and make the printing adjustments in the computer. I make the prints on an inkjet printer using archival (Ultrachrome) inks.
