Folded Paper Cameras

Glue Together The New Rubikon Camera, Then Point and Shoot

The Rubikon camera is a paper cut-out that transforms into an actual, functioning photographic machine. You can download the PDF format for free to create your own paper pin-hole camera.

The Rubikon camera only takes black and white photos (like all pin-hole cameras). The pictures are haunting. Jaroslave Jurica, a designer from the Czech Republic, created both the original black Rubikon and the newer white Rubikon camera 2, which was inspired by Richard Vyskovsky's 1979 Dirkon.
