Camera Obscura image of the Tower Bridge in the Tower Hotel Room
A darkened hotel room becomes a canvas in this striking gelatin silver print, where the iconic Tower Bridge of London is projected upside down across the walls, floor, and furnishings through the pinhole camera obscura technique. Morell's masterful use of light transforms the mundane interior into a dreamlike collision of private and public space, blurring the boundaries between inside and outside. The resulting black-and-white image captures both the grand architectural landmark and the intimate domestic environment in a single, otherworldly exposure.
