WAYNE MARTIN BELGER

Mr. Belger is an American 'artist' who creates pinhole cameras with a weird and sometimes disturbing twist. His cameras are made with the subject in mind for example his 'Heart' camera is used to take pictures of pregnant women ( at least 8 months) but the camera is made with a heart of an infant, apparently it allows him to re connect with his twin brother who died at birth. An other example of his strange cameras is his 'HIV' camera which uses HIV positive blood as a red filter for the camera. Personally I find this all disturbing and horror film-esque building cameras with human organs and remains not really my cup of tea. Have a look at his website and have a look at his other work

Here are some samples of the cameras and the Photographs they take.
