One takes pictures rolled up by artist on set (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
box camera
'set' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'one takes pictures rolled up by artist' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'me' (a setter might use 'one' to humourously mean 'me') and 'me' is present in the answer.
'by' could be 'x' (multiplication sign) and 'x' is located in the answer.
'artist' could be 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts) and 'ra' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for box camera that I've seen before include "Simple shooter" , "One taking shots" , "Old-fashioned photo taker" , "one taking pictures" , "One took pictures" .)
