About the pinhole camera look
At f/180 a pinhole has no zone of sharp focus, so the face, the street and the far wall share the same gentle softness. Wide coverage stretches the frame a little and the vignette runs deep. Soft overcast daylight needs eight seconds to register. A single turn of the head or swing of an arm leaves a translucent double, and passersby fade to faint streaks.
Clothes, place and when to pick it
An oversized stone-gray coat keeps the shape calm and readable even in soft focus. Locations are plain: an empty street, a wide staircase, a park bench. haloshot exposes your own face onto this film look, based on three phone photos. Pick it for a quiet grid, a photo book cover or a profile that should feel analog.
