Camper Obscura


After more than a year of planning, the Summer of 2010 saw FOTONOW bring their project Camper Obscura into life. Photographers Jonathan Blyth and Matthew Pontin had already established a practice in working with communities in building camera obscuras in working with young people on education projects, the idea of a mobile vehicle emerged in the shape of a Foster and Day coach-built 1986 VW T25 camper van. The UK photographers have taken their lesson to the streets - literally - by converting the camper van into an enormous camera on wheels that they call Camper Obscura
