Paper Shoot Philippines Is Making Cameras Fun Again— and Eco-friendly Too.

- Alyssa Lapid

Gadgets are supposed to be fun. They are functional playthings. They are toys to tinker with.

As soon as we received a package containing the cutest, slimmest paper camera, we did what any trigger-happy creative would do—take it out for a spin. We took it to different spots in the metro and not only did we get a ton of compliments about our nifty little trinket, we got loads of captured visuals for keeps.

Paper Shoot is a Taiwanese-born brand founded by George Lin, whose sole goal was to inspire more people to become involved with photography—his own way of sharing his passion with others. He took what little knowledge he had of electronics to create a functional camera out of, well, paper.
