Robert Calafiore ‘Muses’ uses a pinhole camera to turn family glass into art

February 1, 2018 by New York Latin Culture Magazine

Robert Calafiore is an Italian – American pinhole photographer who turns his family’s glassware collection into psychedelic art using a pinhole camera and darkroom technique.

In an age when everything is going digital, Calafiore travels in the other direction with a fine art practice that is done using hand-built pinhole cameras and traditional darkroom methods.

Italians are famous for glass. Calafiore uses the glassware collection of his Italian family to connect with his roots and Italian traditions of fine craftsmanship.

Calafiore earned an MFA in Photography at the State University of New York at Buffalo.  He earned a BFA in Photography from the Hartford Art School where he has taught photography for over twenty years.
