A working 4x5 paper camera living inside of a pop-up book.
The book concisely explains—while actively demonstrating—how a structure as humble as a folded piece of paper can tap into the intrinsic properties of light to produce a photograph. It includes 5 pieces of photo paper “film”, development instructions with instant coffee, and a companion lightmeter app for iOS. (The book uses normal black and white photo paper, so it can be reused forever.)
The book includes: - a piece of paper folded into a working 4x5" camera - A lightproof bag - 5 sheets of photo-paper “film” - Development instructions (use household ingredients or photo chemicals) - A satisfying demonstration of the connection between design & science / structure & function - A companion lightmeter app for iPhone (but any light meter will do if set to ISO 10 and f/228)
