Camera Craft
We design and make custom handmade wooden cameras and primitive inspired lenses - from minimalist pinhole cameras to bespoke box and view cameras. We also offer repair and restoration services for classic wooden cameras. All work is done by Dominic and each project begins with a conversation.
Lenses
Character and primitive inspired lenses made for many camera mounts. These handmade lenses sit between traditional box camera optics and pinhole photography. Simple, minimalist designs.
