A camera obscura is an ancient optical device that projects an upside-down image of the external world onto an interior surface, and it played a significant role in the history and development of both painting and photography.

the owner of the apartment should consider permanently installing the lens to the window and offer it as a feature, it is really amazing!
Came here to say just this!
@@rahulm.r7586same lmao
My exact thoughts!
The sun:
While that would be cool, it would mean you'd lose the natural light and view from the window which is already a major selling point of the place.
This project is a masterpiece! Imagine having this in your bedroom and see the sunrise every morning on the walls.
with some creativity and some DIY skills you could instal the Bonfoton permanently on a specific window.
all you need is a great view :)
This phenomena would happen ocasionally in an old flat of mine when the blinds were positionned in a very specific way. I'd wake up with the outside view over the walls and cieling.
@@jjjalistair6880 wow !
But, there aren't sunrises into Paris, cause of the pollution ;)
that's exactly what I was thinking about!
Wow, imagine you have this in your bedroom and see a real life Image on a wall without even looking out of the window. This is a genius way to make your house uniquely cool.
Beautiful result! I love the idea of having a camera obscura on the window at night and lying in bed looking at the city lights projected onto the walls and ceiling.
So pleased Bonfonton were happy to work with you on this.
I’m old (AF) and thinking how cool it would be to use the cheap 30cm x 50m rolls of printing paper we used in high school; set up boards to hold the paper against, black out the room, turn on red photo safe light, “wallpaper” the boards, expose the image, roll up the papers again then retreat to darkroom with bathtub sized trays….
They sell liquid B&W emulsion, so you can actually just "paint" a withe curtain, tens it up, and develop later, giving you an extremely big photo in a single pice
Really great storytelling. Love that you explained every step and included all the mistakes and setbacks - made the video a lot more interesting to watch.
Hello Michael! I love your content you have inspired me to do so much!
This is very interesting idea for a hotel room. Very unique and romantic experience, great for Paris
Definitely! I hope some hotels let me build one for them.
From all the movies I've seen, I just thought every window in Paris had a perfect view of the Eifel Tower even if they're facing the exact opposite direction!
“Naked Gun” hehe
Genius idea! Looking forward to other creators in different cities trying the same :D
Search for Abelardo Morell, he has done this a lot in 91
Very cool project! Definitely thinking outside the box-pardon the pun.
I did think outside the box when i was inside the box.
Good detective work, Mathieu. The renters could charge a premium if they had the lens mounted permanently!
I guess they could create a new kind of experience for they visitors.
This is what photography is all about; capturing moments. Beautiful, thank you! ❤
Wow, thank you!
yes, photography is more than just gear, thats for sure
Capturing moments... on a wall!
Merci Mathieu, tu as réalisé un rêve que j'avais depuis quelques années, faire du timelapse en camera obscura. C'est magnifique, respect.
I always wanted to make something like this in my room to see how it'll look like in person, but this video showed how much better it can look than I could ever expected 🤩
This is one of the greatest photography projects on RUclips. I'm blown away by your dedication to photography. It's so inspiring. It makes my day. Feels good! Thank you!

The Velux window in my previous apartment created a double camera obscura, so every day for a couple of years I woke up to a camera obscura
same to me !!
I did this in a hotel room 20 years ago although no equipment. You can pull the black out blinds together and just spread a small hole to form your aperture. We just saw the hotel parking lot and highway upside down on the wall but is still a cool experiment. Try it.
6:31 the bug enjoying the view of the Eiffel tower 🐜 🗼 🏙️
Art is a science. Science is an art. Beautiful. Thank you for this.
Well, that was awesome, so thank you for sharing it with us.
Brilliant! Imagine have that in your room 24/7?
great project and great results.
Slightly different but possibly something similar. The Palazzo Revoltella in Trieste has a lens to the outside in two rooms. There is a framed matte screen and you can view the harbor and the place in front of the building. Im not sure, but I think it was also flipped back into the corrected orientation. Well worth a visit…
This is amazing. I live in the countryside where is virtually no light pollution, and my daughter loves the stars. I wonder if I could aim one of those Bonfoton devices up at the stars and project them around her room? Actually, I wouldn't even need to reorient the image. I'll have a go with my camera lenses.
I am inspired.
Amazing idea and execution! Well done
Thank you very much!
Got inspired. Made a hole in my window blinds. Now I have a hole in my window blinds. 10/10.
Amazing, I have never seen something like that before. Absolute fantastic.
I am obsessed with your obsessions and glorious madness. Bravo!
Live view of clouds on white ceiling is a great idea.
Great project - so well documented. Both satisfying and real, well done!
What a lovely project! Fantastic work!
Wonderful!!! Congratulations on a succesful experiment but also on the beautiful video you created, which is very inspiring!!
Thank you very much!
What Mathieu did not realize was, that just as big as the Eiffel tower on the wall behind him, his own face looking into the Bofonton got transfert onto the Eiffel tower at the same time. Paris was in shock!
50 years later Parisians are still scared that the the giant Shrek face will return.
🙃
Mathieu, please get to know the work of Cuban photographer Abelardo Morell. It has been a reference in turning rooms around the world into "camera obscura" since the 1990s.
Absolutly beautiful Thank you for your dedication to your craft. You sir, are a true artist.
I see a trend of other photographers attempting similar from their favorite location. I know, I'm beginning to work it myself. Thanks again!
Super stunning project, what a marvelous idea to capture the tower.
Astonishing. Brilliant work!
The price of that apartment has just increased!
Brilliant idea and fantastic results!
Beautiful project, thanks for sharing!
Probably the coolest thing I’ve seen in years! Congratulations!
Wonderful project Mathieu! A holy trinity, camera obscura, time lapse and the stunning view.
Thank you so much 😀
This is absolutely amazing
What a cool and surreal project!
Amazing
Thanks
Absolutely love the storytelling, great results too!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is just perfect. Worth buying the lens .
Simply, this is epic.
Hope you’re having a great summer Mathieu! Many thanks from NYC!
thanks Tyler, I hope you have a nice summer too in NYC, or maybe you traveled a bit ?
Stunning! Great project!
Glad you like it!
Well this was brilliant! Well done!
Incroyable! Avoir une vue comme ça en journée, en plus ça laisse passer suffisemment de lumière
Your video took me back to the time when I lived in Paris. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You just exponentially multiplied the value of that apartment
Amazing efforts! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Great idea, implementation and video. Thanks
❤ as a painter....may i just say YES ❤
I always enjoy watching your videos. You have such a zeal and appetite for photography and how you can manipulate things to get what you want.
Think about this. You are probably the ONLY person in Paris that setup a camera obscura to get time lapses of the Eiffel tower on your AirBNB wall. One in a million, so unique. Thanks for the experience.
for sure i was the only one ever to do this in this apartment :)
Une des meilleures chaines de photo créative. Gros gros respect que tu prennes le temps de faire toutes tes vidéos en VF depuis quelques temps.
Merci ! J’espère que tu es abonné à la chaîne VF
This is awesome!
Modernized camera obscura! Execellent!!!
That is so magical, awesome stuff!!!
Extremely cool!
Congratulations again on another masterpiece project and for all the luck you could get. Many times we got frustrated because luck weren't on our side.
This principle and idea is the main element of the 1997 movie "Addicted to love" lol
That’s a great project mate.
Nice work!
Très beau et très original. Bravo.
Really love your project. It's fantastic.
Next thing I would have tried, to cover parts of the projection on top and side walls, maybe that could enhance the contrast on the central part / wall ?
Unfortunately, this is one of the real limitations of the camera obscura. Decreasing the size of the aperture can *absolutely* increase definition, however, you're very limited by the amount of light that is let in. There's a compromise point that you naturally gravitate toward, where there is a balance between brightness and sharpness. Other thing that is a necessity-as Mathieu indicates in his video-is blocking out all other light coming into the room. In addition to blocking the bottom of the door, I'm sure he taped some extra foil over the suction cup on the Bonfouton prism. Finally, putting up the white dropcloth/sheet provides the best surface to project onto, as it 1) has no colour of its own to interfere with the image, and 2) is a flat plane on which to focus. Of course, in some camera obscura setups, a slightly concave surface can help with focus in the corners, but it all depends on whether you're using a lens, a prism (like here), or just an unaided pinhole. I'm not familiar enough with the Bonfouton prism to say definitively, but in prism setups I've tried, a flat surface tends to offer the most clarity over the largest area.
That said, camera obscura is one of the coolest and least expensive ways to play with primitive photography. Give it a try, if you're able: even the most mundane of exterior views are given a magical quality when cast onto a dark room!
Excellent video, Mathieu!
Très sympa ce projet !
Great video and The Staircase! French staircases are works of architectural artwork (or just plain art) in themselves.
Very cool project!
Thanks!
Trop cool!
I did this in a hotel room 20 years ago although no equipment. You can pull the black out blinds together and just spread a small hole to form your aperture. We just saw the hotel parking lot and highway upside down on the wall but is still a cool experiment. Try it.
Mathiu, thanx for inspiration ... 💯... amazing idea !!!
Another superb and fascinating video.
Many thanks!
Magnifique !
T'es un grand malade Mathieu 😅 incroyable d'avoir cette idée, incroyable de la réaliser aussi 👌
Merci !
When I had friends over, I would act like it's the first time I realized it. Then say I thought I saw some wierd hues in the past but it's never been vibrant like this.
Truly amazing, now you made want to buy this device to try out in every place I go to 😅
You should!
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful and inspired work. I really need to try this. Would it be possible to change where the projected image appears on the wall? If you wanted to for example have the tower appear in a different spot.
Simplement génial !
Mad impressive 🎉❤
I'd love to turn my bedroom into a camera obscura!
Phenomenal!
Saw this on Reddit, really nice👍🏾
Thanks for coming
Ce que j'appelle avoir de la suite dans les idées ! 🏅 Super idée qui élargit les vues des amateurs d'images ! 👌
J'ai exactement cet effet tous les matins sur les murs de ma chambre (pas aussi prononcé quand même), je savais pas qu'on pouvait le reproduire de la sorte ! C'est un peu magique quand même x)
Extraordinaire !!!!😊😊😊
Grandiose et de plus en plus “fou” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Merci Eric
That's so cool
Beautiful
Great work once again !
❤️
Very cool video 👍
Very interesting and different for sure
Well done!
Brilliant!
Tres magnifique!
incroyable!!!
Cool Mathieu 🙏🏼
