LOOKING AT THE MYSTERY OF NATURE

Pinhole Photography by Corine Hörmann


Using pinhole photography to find another gateway to reality

Have you ever felt the magical experience of being in nature and suddenly feeling different. All daily struggles are vanishing into the earth, and time doesn’t seem to exist.
It’s been proven that the presence of nature improves our well-being. It acts as a refugee for the mind, and 
it literally slows you down.
But coming home into your daily routine, the whole feeling quickly disappears.

My name is Corine Hörmann, and I am a Dutch photographer. Through my work, I am trying to bring the outside world into our homes and offices to keep that sense of wonder and keep that connection with nature.
The images are meant to slow you down and make you think. Using pinhole photography is great for this purpose because it’s a very authentic way to record images.
