This album includes sixteen professional models with eight
photographs each (128 photographs). The models are from Phoenix and
Tucson, Arizona. George Arthur Lareau produces these surreal
bodyscapes with two pinhole cameras. Pinhole cameras have no lens,
just a tiny pinhole. Pinholes were the first cameras, marking the
beginning of photography. In the studio, the amount of light
required to make an exposure is very high, requiring him to use a
powerful flash unit. Pinholes are also challenging to use because
he has to imagine his photos (no viewfinders) and blending images
is somewhat unpredictable. Lareau bought his two pinhole cameras as
toys, but then became fascinated with the results they give him.
There is no lens so there is no color correction. Everything is in
focus because of the great depth of field. This led him to choose
pinholes for his bodyscape projects. Lareau developed his unusual
style for bodyscapes some thirty years ago, using students from the
University of Illinois as models. Finding his own vision for that
series of bodyscape photographs was a four-year endeavor, and today
he continues to probe new visions with his pinhole cameras.
