CAMERA OBSCURA
Abelardo Morell.
Abelardo Morell is an american photographer who creates the most amazing camera obscuras. He travels the world renting hotel rooms in stunning locations and turns them into cameras. I find it amazing how they work and think the images are so interesting and slightly disorientating as it takes a while to see what is happening in the room

These are my favourite body of works by Abelardo Morell. They were taken in the same suite overlooking central park in new york. They depict the four seasons and show how the landscape changes throughout the year. I find these beautiful and think the images are amazing. They perfectly capture the beauty of the scene and the colours are gorgeously rich. |
My Camera obsucura
|
I decided to turn my room into a camera obscura and these are my results. I found it amazing to see my room turned into a giant camera. It was so interesting to sit in the room and watch as the trees moved and birds flew past, all upside down. The images are not as lush and vibrant as Morells but it was still really interesting to try. I had to experiment with the different exposure times and took the photos for up to 5 minuets. If I were to do it again I would have photographed on a sunnier day so that the images would have come out brighter and more deffined
