And that’s when the smiles began making their way back to me. By the time I began shooting the 2nd pack, I had a better idea of what exposure range I should try out, to get a fairly well-exposed image. I know I did after my first pack of Instax film with the Jollylook came out with almost all shots heavily underexposed. If you’ve only shot 35mm film before, you’d gain a whole new level of appreciation for pinhole and wet plate photographers after using the Jollylook Pinhole camera. If you’re an experienced pinhole photographer, you’ve already silently smiled after reading this far. And the more frustrating thing? You don’t really know what exposure to put in after that last wasted shot. Otherwise, that’s one frame that’s just gone to waste.
Praying that the exposure you so painstakingly calculated (or guesstimated) turns out right. With the Jollylook pinhole camera, there’s definitely a lot of praying. It especially makes you rethink the number of frames you fire away today in the pursuit of just one good picture.Īdmit to it or not, we all tend to “spray and pray” with our digital cameras and smartphones. In a good way, it really makes you question your whole digital photography process. But you’re also stretching your patience and your exposure calculation skills to the limits when you photograph anything with a Jollylook Pinhole Camera. A lot of Gen Z photographers are only just getting to understand what this thrill really feels like.
Being able to see the photograph you just snapped coming to life on print in just a few seconds, is something I grew up with. The former is supposed to be immediately gratifying. It’s like combining two extreme ends of the spectrum – instant film with pinhole photography.
