Numerous wooden camera design concepts have flooded the Interweb, but most of those camera designs don't actually work. The ‘ONDU Pinhole Camera’ is a camera made out of wooden parts and magnets that's able to capture and produce photographs.
In the age of iPhones and Instagram, film-based cameras have become obsolete and non-existent. Industrial designer Elvis Halilović is bringing back the old-school ways of photography with his wood-made cameras.
The camera functions with the help of several powerful magnets and the use of natural light to capture photos. The photos that are produced from the film-based cameras feature that retro appearance that many people are enthralled with.
The prices for the wood-worked cameras range from $60 to $200, a lot cheaper than most digital cameras.
