The Camera Obscura is an ancient optical device. In its most basic form it is, quite simply, a dark room with a small hole in one wall. When light enters the hole it projects an image of the outside world onto the inner surface of the camera.

‘Veiled Chamber’ was part of wlvfotofest 2012’ where I stepped back in time and transformed the entrance to the Alan Garner Centre in Wolverhampton into a camera obscura. People were invited to step inside this space to experience the world in a different way.

I would like to say a big Thank You to the two ex-students Josie Wallbank and Adam Bryce who helped me with this project. I am also grateful for the time and help Sian Fletcher (Manager - Creative Studies) gave to secure permission to make this project happen. As always I am indebted to my husband Dave who helped me build the camera obscura. Thank you all.
