What’s a toy camera?

Toys have come a long way since we started this Festival in 2013, but our north stars remain the plastic toy cameras that started it all back in the 1960s-70s. For our exhibitions, we welcome photos made with any camera that:

• shoots film, or exposes images directly onto to photosensitive paper

• has a plastic lens (or no lens — hello pinhole)

• offers very minimal (or no) exposure control
