Laser cut from a single sheet of kraft paper
THE MATCHBOX CAMERA IS A PINHOLE CAMERA LASER CUT SHEET OF A4 KRAFT PAPER
The Matchbox Camera is a pinhole camera laser cut from the highest quality kraft paper. Available in kit form or flatpack for YOU build and use to take great pictures.
A pinhole camera is like a regular camera except that instead of a lens a tiny hole is used to form the image. Pinhole photographs have a unique and captivating ghost-like quality.
Converting a box of matches into a pinhole camera has been a classic rainy day project for science students and the photo-curious for decades. Now for the first time PaperCamera.co.uk offers a brand new design in pinhole photography. With its long exposure times, the Matchbox Camera is perfect for still life, landscapes and ultra creative portraits.
Pinhole photography is a fantastic way for anyone to broaden their photographic horizons and explore their own creativity. See the world in a new way and go beyond the constraints of traditional lens based photography.
The Matchbox Camera is designed by professional photographer and long-time pinhole devotee Chris McNulty.
If pinhole photography lacks some fine detail it more than makes up with fuzzy colours and unexpected effects. Get in close to your subject and look for bold shapes, colours and patterns. Get creative!
