Continuing with our discussion on “what is an image?”… or what is a photographic image?
From photographer Abelardo Morell—same author of A Book of Books—a gallery of hauntingly beautiful pictures excerpted from his new book, Camera Obscura, where we discover how much of the world can fit through a pinhole.

I love the experimental aspect of Abelardo Morell’s photography. I’ve always been fascinated with these types of photos dealing with double exposures and having fun with the camera obscura concept. Morell’s images have a sort of playfulness about them, and it’s because of that theme that I’m drawn to them.

Along with what Sara Beth said, I love double exposures. Unique messages can be sent this way that can’t always be sent with a single exposure. The artistic aspect is so fascinating to me and I look forward to doing pictures like this in the future.

I was simply amazed by these images. I could not believe that Morell got these results from a camera obscura. I had to see the process he used to do this, but it was exactly the same as the one we used in the classroom. I really enjoyed Morell’s website. His work seems very approachable, curious, and playful; creating wonderful images from simple household objects. I also enjoyed being able to see the evolution of Morell as an artist. From his childhood photos all the way to the present, with everything labeled and dated. He seems very down to earth, and shows you don’t even have to leave your house to make a great photograph.

I absolutely love pictures that make you think, and this definitely made me think. It took me a while to process what was happening in this picture and I love it. I love photographers that push the limits photography and aren’t afraid to try something new. Abelardo Morell thinks outside the box and has inspired me to think more outside the box when it comes to my photography.
