Seeing with Photography Collective, Box Portrait, Jacques
A group of blind artists based in New York, this portrait was made by the group using an updated form of a pinhole camera. The technique is simple: a pinhole camera in a dark room projects an image of an illuminated subject onto braille-punched paper and a digital camera is used to capture the result.
