Curia receives new Pinhole Photography Workshop with cameras built from bamboo

Jornal da Bairrada1 September 2026 at 11:27

The municipality of Curia hosts a new Pinhole Photography Workshop, where participants will have the opportunity to build their own cameras from bamboo. The workshop's motto is "From bamboo, the image is born" and promises to be a differentiating experience in the world of photography.

During the activity, participants will be invited to discover photography from its most elementary principles, through the manual construction of their own pinhole cameras. This type of camera uses the principle of the camera obscura, where light enters through a small hole and projects the inverted image inside.

Bamboo serves as the main material for the structure of the cameras, aligning with a more sustainable and artisanal approach. The initiative aims to provide a practical and educational experience, where participants learn not only to build the equipment, but also to understand the fundamentals of image capture.

The event is promoted by the Bairrada Journal and is intended for anyone interested in exploring photography in a creative and accessible way, without the need for prior experience.
