Village Beaches: Pinhole Photography of East Hampton, New York

Schiffer Publishing Ltd, 2023

Immerse yourself in the timeless allure of the beach through the captivating lens of art photographer Phillip Lehans. Amid a world seeking solace during the pandemic, Lehans expertly employed pinhole photography to capture the essence of five East Hampton beaches. His deliberate choice of a slow and antiquated medium perfectly mirrored the prevailing mood of the times, offering an escape and an immersive experience in equal measure. Lehans's panoramic images skillfully evoke the tranquility and serenity that reside within our beachside dreams. Armed with a wooden camera and a manual shutter, he masterfully manipulates prolonged exposures to craft an ethereal atmosphere, where pastels dance like watercolor strokes. Every delicate nuance of nature finds its place in his compositions—a gentle breeze sweeps clouds across the sky, tracing graceful streaks of white and pastel, while the ebb and flow of tides imbue the ocean with a creamy calmness. In Lehans's mesmerizing works, we witness the infinite variations of the beach—a reminder of nature's cyclical rhythms, the passage of time, and the unfailing optimism that accompanies each new day. Allow yourself to be transported to a realm where sun, sand, and surf converge, and where the artistry of pinhole photography intertwines with the soul-stirring essence of the shore.
