Making 3D Images:
Lenticulars & 3D Cameras

Learn what a 3D image looks like, the history behind 3D photography, and how to shoot 3D on film and digital. Build your own 3D camera from off-the-shelf parts, a 3D printer, and our custom software, then turn your shots into a lenticular print you take home.

What people said after making their first lenticular with us.

What an amazing workshop!!! We got to learn how to take lenticular photos and print them. We learned best practices from the pros. I left feeling like I could do this on my own.
