In an age where we would go to any lengths to get a unique photo,Jesús Franco two artists, thirsty for something new, have created a camera that offers peak uniqueness.

"The light viewed/collected by each individual tube is recorded onto the photo sensitive material placed at the opposite end."
The photos that the camera produces are both thought-provoking and stunning. It's hard to believe that this is what we would see if we looked through thousands of straws.

"The sitter would have to wait in the dark whilst the camera was loaded," Haynes explained of the process. "They were then asked to take a pose and given a countdown to the firing of the flash."

"In a world beset by selfies with their immediate gratification, and HD television in all its glory feeding our visual appetite, a Straw Camera image of an individual, with its engineering projection and disappearance of the subject into the near fog of visual capture, gives the viewer a glimpse of just how transitory perception is."
