Pinhole cameras are the simplest form of camera, utilising a light-proof box with a single tiny aperture to capture an image. Light entering the aperture projects an inverted image onto the film plane at the back of the camera. While largely replaced by digital photography, pinhole cameras still hold a niche in artistic photography and scientific exploration due to their unique properties.

Key features of pinhole cameras
- Simple design: A pinhole camera has minimal components, making it easy to construct or purchase at a low cost.
- Wide depth of field: Everything from the foreground to the background remains in focus due to the small aperture size.
- Long exposure times: Due to the limited amount of light entering the camera, pinhole photography requires longer exposure times, often requiring a tripod for stability.
- Circular image: The image captured by a pinhole camera is typically circular, reflecting the shape of the aperture.
- Soft focus: Images produced by pinhole cameras have a characteristically soft focus, creating a dreamlike aesthetic.
