Various forms of photography that exist in this modern day and age are a modification of what existed in the traditional photography. Of the oldest form is the pinhole photography discovered in Greek around the year 500 B.C. and which relied on the use of the camera with the traditional glass lens which requires a longer time of exposure depending on the lighting effect.

Since photography depends on the understanding of how light travels inside an enclosed dark room, the pinhole worked under this criterion too. The size of the hole on the ‘camera’ will to a very large extent determine the quality of the photos. The smaller the hole that lets in the light, the clearer the pictures. This is why it is called a pin hole because the hole should be as small as possible and as round as it can be so that the light will not be hindered or tampered with by the rough edges of the hole.

The reasoning behind it is the combination of different types of lenses in miniature models.

Alternatively, you could go to galleries that are concerned with cameras.
