So photographer Tyler Card, apparently has a lot of time on his hands and is looking to sweep costume contests throughout the land this halloween season with his fully functional camera costume.

It has it all, a built in LCD screen, built-in flash and working shutter release button. If that’s not enough he can wirelessly fire off his strobes to capture all the party action.

Here’s a look at the camera in action:

And here’s how it was made.

Nice job Tyler!

Heidi Lender has a fun and storied past, beginning as a child in the mid-sixties. After earning a BA from Cornell University she wrote and styled for various fashion magazines and traveled often to places like New York, London and Paris. After a long break (6 years)  in India studying yoga and finding her inner universe, she discovered her first digital SLR (2008) and left the words behind in favor of creating images like the ones from her amazing Once Upon Project.

In “Once Upon” she explores the wild and controlled personalities within herself and how fashion and design can mold the characters she creates. These headless self-portraits with all their color, texture and varied environments help her to express and illustrate who she is, where she’s been and where she is going. The anonymous nature of the images also helps you to imagine yourself as that character as well.

Be sure to check out the other amazing projects too from Heidi’s Site.

Jobi is a gifted lifestyle photographer who grew up in Annapolis, Maryland and always dreamt of the other coast. She started traveling and surfing at the age of 15 and now at 24, she calls Venice, CA home and has integrated herself nicely into the surf & skate culture of So Cal. She’s quite the world traveler, finding herself in Africa, Asia, Australia, the South Pacific, & Europe and more. The places most people only see in magazines, she sees first hand, even putting herself in the ocean with Great White sharks if that’s what it takes. That early yearning to smell the fresh sea breezes finds much of her work revolving around the golden light of California’s surf & sun.

While we here at Cameraluv think you should be shooting with and appreciating your cameras, we can’t help but love the beautiful high-speed images Staudinger + Franke have created by exploding a Polaroid and Eumig camera.
