Lim Heng Swee aka @ilovedoodle is Malaysian illustrator and graphic designer who makes you smile with nearly every print or tee he designs. The Photographer ($30) is no different, just pure photo fun. While we have a ton of our own camera art, this print would be a fun addition to our collection.

To us, there’s nothing cooler than vintage cameras. Guangzhou Art Academy student, Hu Shaoming takes our love and turns it into art with these two beautiful zippered cameras from his Reconnecting Time series. He spent months cutting and revealing the magical working internal components and the results are clearly awesome.

As much as we hate seeing a camera rendered useless, this Cutaway model Nikon Em (2009) by Christopher Williams is pretty cool.

Italian artist Andre Petrachi (a.k.a. Himatic) makes cool sculptures from vintage camera gear and items most people would throw away like old electronics, light bulbs and toys. Andre sees his work is a symbol of our cultures out-of-control desire to buy things … yeah like sculptures made of cameras!
