multitalented washington state artist tenika morrison, aka etsy seller scarletbeautiful and scarletbeautiful2 has created a series called through the viewinder, which is a gorgeous shabby-soft collection of photography created just how it sounds: by taking the photo with a camera pointed through the viewfinder of another camera.

hi sosser,

i know, it is such a cool idea.

i really like the choices she makes with her subjects. everything sits so still and has such a balanced feeling to me.

thanks for the visit!

hi jonathan,

so glad you like tenika’s work too!

i like your photos (the christmas bulbs is my favorite!). are you taking a photo through the camera lens of a second camera like tenika? that is the technique she is using in these photos here.

thanks for stopping by!

thanks! actually, that was with a film canon ae-1 camera. if you click on the “Through the Viewfinder” section to the right, you can see the few that i put up there that are using the duaflex camera.
