Continuous photographic exposures of the North Atlantic from the masts of tall ships, by photographer Justin Quinnell. Exposures range from one week to seven months.
“Long-duration pinhole photographs or Solargraphs have been with us for a while: the original was made by Dominique Stroobant in 1982,” Justin explains.
“The emergence of digital scanning opened up several accessible techniques which, when combined with the indestructible and cheap, battery-free qualities of pinhole cameras, can uncover images impossible with digital technology.

“A few years ago I began experimenting with moving cameras. I then worked alongside the sustainable wine importers, Porto Bristol, which has enabled previously unseen images of journeys and time.”
Bristol-based Justin Quinnell is one of the world’s leading exponents of pinhole photography. He is a founding director of the Real Photography Company in Bristol.
