This Book is a Camera

This Book is a Camera is a functional pop-up pinhole camera that assembles from the pages of a book. It's a hands-on introduction to how cameras work—light, exposure, aperture—using direct experience rather than explanation.

The design bridges analog photography and tactile learning, offering a straightforward way to understand image-making mechanics. It works with standard photographic paper and requires no batteries or electronics, just the fundamentals of optics and chemistry.
