Sergei Lebedev's work, which includes both the
cameras themselves and the unusual photographs he creates, is
now on show at an exhibition in his native region of
Kaliningrad. His unique cameras cost around $150 each.
The former factory worker uses driftwood, pebbles and shells to
create his cameras, combing the shorelines of his home for parts
of fallen trees, naturally polished by the sea's waves.
From these, he crafts wooden boxes.
"This is the simplest principle of cameras and the way in which
photography began," he explained.
"Essentially, they were simple wooden boxes... Light penetrates
through a small hole, made with a needle. This is all that is
needed in order to get an image on the film".
