Photographer Matt Nicholson has devised an alternative to the legendary Leica camera with his new project, a printable Paper Lie-ca M3 Pinhole Camera. Playing on the concept of making the desirable accessible, the paper camera is “just one of several functional products that represent status symbol objects everyone wants.”

Simply print out the design online, chop, fold and tape into shape, then add a role of film and you’re shooting pinhole-style photography. While it may not quite live up to the fidelity of its legendary namesake, this fully functional ‘Lei-ca’ camera will cost you the same as an A4 printout, so you’ve got nothing to lose by trying it out.
