The Solarcan solarigraphic camera will delight all lovers of photography, art and astronomy. Inside the bottle is a high-quality Ilford photo paper. More than that, you're probably interested in why there's a camera shaped like a can. The author Sam Cornwell he likes to experiment with everyday objects and give them different roles. As it turns out, the shape of a classic can is ideal for taking on the role of a camera. You will probably also be confused by the way the camera works, although it is quite simple. Basically it's about camera obscura.
You use it by finding a place where it will be exposed to the Sun. Then remove the cap over the hole on the side of the can so that light can come through (of course the can does not contain beverages). When we want to finish taking photos, we remove the photo paper inside. We do this by opening the top of the can with a can opener. The resulting photo is captured with a smartphone and change from negative to positive, to see the scene as it was in nature. You can order the camera on a crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.
