Vintage Cardboard Cameras

The Collapsible Cardboard Jollylook is Styled After Early Cameras

— February 1, 2017 — Tech
Though electronics and digital technology have made the average modern camera a complex piece of machinery, the Jollylook camera is a reminder that the tool need not be complicated at all. The collapsible cardboard camera is styled after those vintage contraptions from the early days of photography, and indeed the Jollylook employs many of the same principles in order to function.

Jollylook cameras have no electronics in them whatsoever, relying on the purest form of analog photography. The only somewhat modern piece of the camera comes in the form of the film; the camera accepts Fujifilm's instant-developing 'instax mini' cartridges. Other than that, it has a simple layout, with an eight-setting aperture and a pull-out viewfinder.

Because it relies on the elementary principles of photography, the Jollylook is a great way to teach kids about how cameras work.
Trend Themes
1. Cardboard Cameras - Businesses can explore the market for eco-friendly, low-cost, and disposable cameras that can be an alternative for users who don't want to invest in an expensive equipment.
2. Analog Photography - As consumers seek unique experiences, businesses can create a niche market for analog photography and accessories promoting skill-building, creativity, and nostalgia.
3. Educational Technology-photography - Educational institutions can invest in using eco-friendly and low-cost cameras such as Jollylook to teach students the principles of photography and enhance their critical thinking skills.
Industry Implications
1. Eco-friendly Consumer Goods - Creating cameras made of sustainable materials and encouraging users to recycle disposal products will capture the attention of a growing consumer segment that favors environmental consciousness.
2. Photography Equipment - Manufacturers can cater to businesses and consumers who want to have both aesthetically pleasing and functional photography equipment through nostalgia-inspiring designs and low cost models like Jollylook.
3. Education - Schools, museums, and other educational institutions can embrace vintage technology and low-tech innovations like the Jollylook as an approachable tool for teaching the science and art of photography.
