Capturing Hard to Reach Areas

Since access to the interior of the paper house was limited, photographs had to be taken from inside using a smartphone and a GoPro camera. Thanks to the small size of the phone’s lens and its wide 6 mm eld of view, it was possible to capture interior details like furniture. The window frame appeared in different positions when the phone was slightly moved between shots, making it easier to align the photos in post-processing. In many parts of the book, the printed design appears on both sides of a single sheet of paper. This resulted in the reverse side image showing through, even under soft lighting conditions. Such “bleed-through” effects became visible in the photographs and highly complicated the generation of clean textures. To minimize this issue, the reverse side of each page (the one facing away from the camera) was covered with black foam during shooting. This ensured that the photographs captured only the currently visible surface, free from interference caused by the graphics printed on the opposite side.
