Indian Hand Crafted Portrait Photography ; outside the Hawa Mahal

This street photographer in Jaipur, India just down the road from the Hawa Mahal,or Place of The Wind, uses a paper only system. Removing the need for any film processing.

Paper in the camera id first used as a negative image is exposed for about four seconds. Once developed this is stuck to the front of the camera (as its wet it just secures itself) and is used for a second shot. The second shot is then taken close-up of the paper negative, to produce a final single paper positive photograph. The paper developer and wash (don't know about fixer!) is in a tray inside the lower body of the camera itself.
