Playing on the idea of the covert encouraged me to design and make a pinhole camera ring, which takes photographs no bigger than the size of a fingernail. Made from copper the camera sits undetected on my hand, eliminating the typical reaction that occurs when someone observes they are being photographed.

 

With a small aperture, the exposure time is short and so taking a photograph can take a matter of seconds. This type of documentation creates a relationship between the process and the imagery, by not having the kind of ease that we typically associate with photography.
