Vintage film cameras meticulously built from coloured paper by Lee Ji-Hee
Korean artist Lee Ji-Hee builds paper models of old film cameras, recreating the details of their every mechanism through expertly folded paper.
Although his paper cameras match the original in every aspect of their form, the colours he selects for his designs are much different. Instead of matching the black, brown, and grey colour schemes consistent with the 1952 Leica IIIf Red Dial or 1938 Super Kodak Six-20, Lee chooses flashy colours and patterns that give each device an updated aesthetic.
