Justin Quinnell, a contemporary artist/ photographer whose interesting and obscure photos borderline the edge of surrealism, looking at the distorted aspect, has mastered the art of pinhole photography.

Justin Quinnell's photography relates to everyday life 

taking photos from different points of view. With this being said his photography has no limits, and is very expressive, from taking photos from inside the mouth, below the feet and even leaving his pinhole camera to 3 months worth of exposure in light.
In some of his work you can see the use of vignetting(the reduction of brightness and saturation at the periphery), like the one above which makes his photography look as if he is spying on someone. His photography looks like as if it's an invasion of privacy, as with the one above with the foot creeping into the picture.

In most of his photography he muted the colours and underdeveloped/overdeveloped which gave the effect that you were squinting when looking at his work. However his photos look as if you're being engulfed in his photo. As if you're actually there when he was taking the photograph.

His unique photography can evoke different emotions with the different lighting and light exposures and positioning, for example the picture above would probably evoke a lonely, miserable, depressing, sympathetic emotion. Where as the one above could evoke a more secrecy, mysterious type of feel. He uses lighting and vignetting to evoke different emotions from the audience.

To be able to create such unique and creative work on such a small scale from such a small camera is simply genius.
