In 2015 M???rcio Faustino Santos begun an experiment with self portraits photographed with a pinhole camera; a camera adapted by himself. Many tests and experiments were made with lights, film negatives and film developers in order to archive the most attractive result. The photographs are long exposures ranging from 1 to 8 minutes.

The experiments results you can see in this book. These photos are about contemplation, illumination and death.
