Inspired by a costume idea we first saw way back in 2011, photographer Bryan Troll turned himself into a fully-functional Nikon DSLR this Halloween. His ‘costume’ has a working flash, takes pictures, and even displays the results on an LCD!
Like we said, this isn’t a new idea—last year, we covered 4 of these, and we spotted the first one back in 2011. But we never get sick these intense, creative costumes for camera nerds. Well, resourceful camera nerds anyway. Because this isn’t a cheap or easy costume to build.
“I spent at least 40 hours making it over many late nights, about $100 in cardboard, tape, rubber cement, plexiglass, and spray paint, and stuffed it with a few thousand dollars in camera equipment,” Troll told DIY Photography. Here are some photos of the costume in-development:
And a video of the final product, working as promised:
Like any good photographer, Bryan spent his Halloween weekend on the town taking photos of other revelers. The Palm Beach Post spotted him out, and earlier today he uploaded some of the photos he captured of other costume-clad folks who were, no doubt, super jealous of his costume.
To see more photos of Bryan’s costume, and whole lot more of the street photos he captured while out celebrating Halloween this weekend in style, head over to his Facebook page.
