Dreams of ghosts, fairy tales, and Ages past…..
Welcome to Spooky Snaps Photography!
I specialize in Analog photos created with handmade pinhole cameras and toy cameras. All images are captured on film or photographic paper and hand printed in a traditional darkroom setting.
When it comes to my craft, I like to follow the motto “Embrace your mistakes”. My cameras are rampant with light leaks, which I believe adds a wealth of magic and mystery to my images. With my toy cameras, certain lighting situations will cause the film backing to expose onto the film and show in the final image. I LOVE this result. I enjoy incorporating elements of the tools of my trade in my photos. This can include a pinhole camera whose image extends all the way through the sprocket holes on the edge of a roll of 35mm film, the frame count burning into the image, or the shadow of a bit of tape that has come loose inside the camera - usually with bits of cat hair stuck to it! My work is raw. Unpolished. Dreamy.
I hope you enjoy your journey.
