Through The Viewfinder – TTV

Through the Viewfinder photography is a new photography craze that seems to be picking up pace across various forums online. The concept is to design a contraption made of card that snugly fits on top of your Kodak Duoflex camera, I bought mine at http://www.sepiamemories.com in Morecambe, UK. Using these rough sketches I was able to draft up a non-black version of the TTV and thus create the image above. This will go nicely with the portrait work I am hoping to do within the R.N.L.I


Using the sketch above, some card from an old portfolio box, duck tape and compass, I was able to create the TTV. It works by sliding the DSLR over the opening above to read the bubble viewfinder on the Kodak, thus getting a cool old image using the 1970′s obsolete camera. Here is the first one:





And some of my first images…
