About Orlando 

Selfie of Orlando Luminere, looking through a vintage Commercial Astrogon lens

Building on 2 decades of freelance advertising photography and art photography, I am launching a new chapter of contemporary art-photography centring on making camera obscura from waste materials.  This endeavour draws on my background a B.Sc in Ecology and experience in government environmental policy.

The cameras and their resulting images are gaining recognition, and most importantly, give me great joy in creating and using them.
