The american designer Kelli Anderson designs a book that actually is a real working camera.

It lives in a pop-ip book and explains—while actively demonstrating—how a structure as simple as a folded piece of paper can tap into the intrinsic properties of light to produce a photograph.

A free template and assembly instruction are now available if  you would build your own (or resist the urge of deconstructing a pre-built book.)

– 5 sheets of photo-paper “film”
– Development instructions
– A demonstration of the connection between design & science / structure & function

The Camera takes photo like those ones:
