Animated comparison of photographed region and resulting photograph

This datapack adds a camera that can be used to create map-art "photos" of the world.
There are two items and recipes added to the game - the camera itself, and photo paper.

You can craft a Camera with 3 Black Carpet, 2 Iron Ingots, 2 Redstone, 1 Spyglass, and 1 Lightning Rod:
Crafting Recipe for Camera

You can craft 4 pieces of Photo Paper with 3 Resin, 3 Paper, 1 Cyan Dye, 1 Yellow Dye, and 1 Magenta Dye:
Crafting Recipe for Photo Paper

To use the camera, click and hold the use-item button. This will pull up a viewfinder that will provide a frame of what will be included in the photo. Releasing the use-item button will place the camera in the world.
Example of Viewfinder

To take a photo, click the use-item button on the camera while holding a piece of photo paper. The camera will start emitting smoke particles and the lights on the back of the camera will start turning on, showing photo progress.
A Camera generating a photo

When the camera is done exposing the photo, the lights on the back will turn green and the camera will play a sound.

Right click the camera with an empty hand to retrieve the final photo.
A finalized photo

At any point, other than when retrieving a photo, left-clicking the camera will cause it to break, dropping a camera. Any photo that is stored in the camera will be lost if it is not retrieved first!
