Date and Location: Sunday, April 27, 2025 – 11AM
Venue: Sala Basiana (inside Nau Bostik)

This year, we are once again celebrating the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day! Sala Basiana —located within Nau Bostik— will be the meeting point where we can enjoy a spring day and grab a drink to stay hydrated.

As for activities, although we are working with limited resources, the goal is to have fun and take one or more photos using this primitive and raw photographic technique.

Since organizing ourselves is challenging, just like last year, this will be a gathering for lovers of chemical photography, where each participant can do as they please. From the AWPCP.org Association, we will provide some cameras for those who want to explore this discipline. Additionally, some of the results can be developed at the Llumàtics lab.

The motto of this day is NO plans, NO rules, NO stress, and above all, NO OBJECTIVE!

Come and enjoy the most experimental and crazy photography while celebrating the arrival of good weather among photography enthusiasts!

Retrats estenopeics pel ‘Dia Mundial de la Fotografia Estenopeica 2025’

This year we are a bit frustrated. As you know, it will be impossible to mount the already classic event dedicated to pinhole photography (or Pinhole), which was held every year in Barcelona on the last Sunday in April, International Pinhole Photography Day (https://pinholeday.org) .

We, Alfonso and Joan, all video chatting, decided to do something equally for such a busy day. We first thought of doing a Pinhole workshop; but we saw that the Internet is already full and it is not easy to get all the necessary materials. So we finally chose to completely change the format, to fit it in confinement.

The proposal is that each of you make a short video presenting your favorite pinhole camera and send it to us, along with a photo taken with it, to be published on AWPCP.org, this same web page.

On April 26, 2020 we will publish all the videos you send us.

Anyway we will accept videos until June 25 as in self-confinement many have trouble producing them well.

Requirements:

• Camera type: commercial or handmade.
• Video: You can send it via Wetransfer or upload it to Vimeo or YouTube and send us the HTML embed code.
• Photographs: At a minimum size of 1200px of the longest corner.

You can send your contribution to us via the collaboration form or directly at info@awpcp.org.

Dear friends in pinhole!

This year we are a bit frustrated. As you know, it will be impossible to mount the already classic event dedicated to pinhole photography, which was held every year in Barcelona on the last Sunday in April, International Pinhole Photography Day (https://pinholeday.org) .

We, Alfonso and Joan, both confined at home and all video chatting, decided to do something equally for such a busy day. We firstly thought of doing a Pinhole workshop; but we saw that the Internet is already full of examples and it is not easy to get all the necessary materials. So we finally chose to completely change the format, to fit it in confinement and we will be very pleased with your collaboration.

The proposal is that each of us make a short video presenting our favorite pinhole camera. All of you can send the result to us along with a photo taken with it. 

All together will be published on AWPCP.org and we will show it up on April 26, 2020. Thank you for your kind attention.

Yours
