Sprocket hole photography is a style of photography that exposes the full width of a perforated film such as 35mm film, creating a photograph punctuated by the "sprocket holes" (perforations) along the edges of the film. While 35mm film is by far the most popular gauge, other perforated film gauges may be used, such as 8mm, super 8, 9.5mm, 16mm and 65/70mm.{{Citation Needed|date=December 2024}}

Usually, this style involves the use of a modified medium format camera, since a standard 35 mm camera ordinarily will not expose the edges of the film. The Sprocket Rocket is a camera specifically designed for this purpose.
