For the 50 renderings project I decided to explore cameras, what it means to capture an image & explorations throughout that process.
I chose to work only with physical sketching and use of objects as I have found myself relying too much on the digital fabrication tools that I use.
To begin exploring I broke down the renderings into five camera categories.
classic slr style
Point and shoot
medium format
polaroid
video camcorder
slr pt.2 (first is mirrorless but in style)
exploring never used shapes
flash placement
optical mechanism
shutter
modular system
trigger placement
bolex style
solenoid shutter/mechanisms
building blocks using parts
gearing mechanisms
grip placement
