A top wall and bottom wall are spaced apart by a pair of inwardly folding side walls and a pair of outwardly folding side walls. A negative and associated photographic paper is slidably mounted in the camera. An externally located pair of pressure jaws receive the film and paper to break a packet of development material mounted to the paper and negative and subsequently apply the material onto the paper. The camera is disposable after one exposure whereas the jaws are retained for use with the next camera.
