Afghan Box Camera 2011 vimeo Afghanistan is one of the last places on earth where photographers used a simple type of instant camera called the kamra-e-faoree for means of making a living. The hand-made wooden camera is both camera and darkroom in one and generations of Afghans have had their portraits taken with it, usually for identity photographs.

Documentário experimental que narra a viagem de dois retratistas pelo interior de Pernambuco. Luiz Santos convidou Tonho Ceará para essa viagem, pois queria ver até onde esse experimento podia chegar, uma vez que o ofício de retratista do instantâneo já estava extinto.

Jaipur, India 2011 vimeo 
Conde Nast Traveler named Jaipur as the 7th best tourist city in Asia. In the city marketplace, Mr. Chand continues in the footsteps of his grandfather using the same 50 pound, wooden camera to create black and white portraits. The camera is now 150 years old and is one of the oldest working cameras in India. So many faces and so many stories captured by a family and a camera.
