Tourists’ Photos Could Live on in Brighton History

Wednesday, March 12th, 2014

Brighton is one of England’s most popular seaside resorts, with a thriving tourism industry and funky vibe that brings visitors from all over the U.K. And now, those tourists (and residents) could see themselves made a part of Brighton’s history, just by getting their picture taken in a photo booth.

A resident of nearby Hove recently submitted an application to put in a photo booth on the beach’s promenade that would sell 6×4 inch black and white prints with the city’s logo. In addition, “A disclaimer inside the machine will inform users that all of the images will be archived and may be used as an historical and social document of Brighton residents and visitors to the city.” A very unique idea that sounds like a great way to chronicle the history and culture of a city through the medium of photography. The Brighton and Hove City Council is scheduled to make a decision on the proposal sometime in the near future.

Find Analog Photo Booths Around the World

Friday, March 7th, 2014

We may be living in a digital world, but there are plenty of us who have fond memories of those analog days. It’s hard to believe that not that long ago you were taking snapshots with a disposable camera and taking the film to the pharmacy to be developed. Now we can have our photos instantaneously with digital cameras and smartphones.

Photo booths too have made the transition to digital, which has opened up a new world as far as printing speeds and sharing capabilities. But even these booths wouldn’t be where they are today without their analog ancestors, which as it turns out, are still around if you’re willing to look.

The photo booth locator on www.photobooth.net serves as a guide for those looking to find an old analog booth in their neck of the woods. Users have submitted the locations of analog photo booths that are still printing in movie theaters, cafes, and hotels across the world, and the list continues to grow. The most recent addition to the list is actually a brand new analog photo booth which was installed at a cabaret in Vancouver, Canada. Don’t count analog out just yet. Head over to the photo booth locator to see if there’s an analog booth near you.

Pups in a Photo Booth

Friday, February 28th, 2014

Dogs are unpredictable subjects for photography, especially for a photo booth shoot. One would expect that a photo booth would hold a dog’s attention only for as long as it took to sniff out any interesting smells, but photographer Lynn Terry showed that with a little luck, you can get some great shots. Terry got her two rescue pitbulls to pose in a photo booth-style shoot with great results. The picture has garnered over 250,000 likes on the Facebook page where it was first shared, which advocates for animal welfare. Read the heartwarming story of the two dogs and see their photo booth shoot here.

Cool Props for Your Wedding’s Photo Booth

Friday, February 21st, 2014

Photo booths are showing up more and more at weddings these days, and for good reason: they’re great fun! You can make your wedding’s photo booth even more fun with the addition of props to inspire funny poses. Check out these great prop ideas for your wedding’s photo booth!

Mustaches

There’s something about a fake mustache that always makes people laugh, and when people laugh it always makes for a great photo. Add top hat and monocle props to develop a theme and make for some funny photo booth dialogue.

Sunglasses

Big goofy sunglasses are also sure to bring the laughs. The more ridiculous the better. Glitter, colors, animal print and big lenses are all a recipe for great photo booth props.

Food

When you really want to say cheese, how about saying it with the real thing? Well, maybe not the real thing, but with food props, you can design almost any kind of food you want and make it part of your photo. Fake drinks are plenty of fun too. You can make food props yourself or find them online at arts and crafts sites.

DSLR Photo Booth Creates Lifelike Avatar of Subjects

Friday, February 7th, 2014

At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), camera-maker Nikon’s display featured a photo booth that turned it’s subjects into 3D characters in a playable video game. Participants stood in a photo booth that contained 68 DSLR cameras arranged in a 360 degree formation. Two times all 68 cameras fired simultaneously and sent their photos to a 3D image rendering software that also can program “controllable articultation,” or the ability for your 3D avatar to move in virtual space. After the software generated a 14-million polygon render of the subject (a process which took several hours), the subject could then use a video game controller to move their character in a virtual world. Photo booth participants could even do jumps, flips, and dance moves as their avatar. Check out this unique photo booth and a video demonstration here.

Photo Booths Bring Generations Together

Thursday, February 6th, 2014

If there’s one thing that brings everyone of all ages together at a big family event, it’s a photo booth. Lots of times at big events the kids get together and play while the adults congregate and share family news and reminisce about old times. That’s not to say that this is a bad thing. Many of us have fond memories of playing with our brothers, sisters, and cousins at big family functions, and for families that don’t get together very often, these events give the adults time to catch up. But when the time comes to bring the whole family together, photo booths provide a great venue for doing so. For the adults, it gives us a chance to bring out the kid in us and put on our best silly faces with our younger relatives. As for the kids, they love making faces for the camera with grandparents, aunts, and uncles. The best part is that everyone gets a fun photo strip by which to remember the event, a unique, personalized keepsake that’s sure to become a treasured possession for family members of all ages.

In England, Speed Dating Gets Creative with a Photo Booth

Thursday, January 23rd, 2014

They tend to do things a little differently across the pond. They drive on the left side of the road, they call fries chips, and they call soccer football. And now in one English bar they’re putting an English spin on speed dating by incorporating a photo booth.

How does it work? Participants in the speed dating event join each other in the photo booth after donning funny costumes. They can then take pictures and chat briefly before making room for the next participants. If someone enjoyed their photo booth session with another, they mark a tally next to their name on a list. If two daters mark a tally next to each others name, they receive the photo strip from their session at the end of the event in an envelope, which lets them know of the mutual interest.

Check out this link for some funny stories from the photo booth speed dating event.

New Book on Photo Booths Coming in May

Friday, January 10th, 2014

There isn’t a ton of literature on the subject of photo booths, and it might be safe to say that there isn’t a non-fiction graphic novel that focuses exclusively on photo booths. Which makes it likely that Canadian artist Meags Fitzgerald’s upcoming book “Photobooth: A Biography,” which is due out in May of this year, will be the first.

 

Fitgerald chronicles the rise and fall of vintage chemical photobooths, from the inception of the modern-day photo booth in 1925 to preservation efforts taking place today. She does so through the medium of a graphic novel, which features an engaging layout of handwritten text and ink drawings that fill the pages. Here’s a brief excerpt from publisher Conundrum Press’ website:

 

For almost a century chemical photobooths have occupied public spaces, giving people the opportunity to quickly take inexpensive, quality photos. In the last decade these machines have started to rapidly disappear, causing an eclectic group of individuals from around the world to come together and respond. Illustrator, writer and long-time photobooth lover, Meags Fitzgerald has chronicled the photobooth’s fortuitous history and the events which gave rise to the desperate need to save them. Having traveled in North America, Europe and Australia, she’s constructed a biography of the booth through the eyes of technicians, owners, collectors, artists and fanatics. In this ground-breaking book Fitzgerald struggles with her own relationship to these fleeting machines, while looking to the future.

In With the Old, and the New

Monday, January 6th, 2014

It’s a new year, and new resolutions and goals are at the top of the list. And while it’s good to make resolutions and goals for a new year, it’s also important to look back on the old year and remember how you arrived to 2014.

 

In many facets of life, it’s important to bring in the new but incorporate the old as well. We like to take the same approach with our photo booths. They incorporate plenty of new technology like allowing you to connect and share your photos with Facebook. But at their core, our photo booths are still built on the foundation set by the classic photo booths of years past. Because when it comes down to it, the output of a photo booth hasn’t changed much in all these years. There’s still a unique joy to be found in putting your hands on a freshly printed photo strip straight from the booth and making a memory with a friend or loved one. So this year, bring in the new but keep the old and celebrate both for what they can make together.

Photo Booths: The Original Selfie

Monday, December 16th, 2013

If you have a smartphone, you’re probably familiar with the term selfie. A selfie is a photo that you take of yourself with your phone. Oxford Dictionaries added the word to its online dictionary (but not its printed one) this year, and named it their word of the year for 2013 after its usage jumped 17,000% in the past year, according to Reuters.

 

While selfies are coming into vogue with the rise of the smartphone, the act of taking a selfie has actually been around for a lot longer than smartphones, or even cell phones. Photo booths were taking selfies long before they made it into the dictionary, and long before they were being uploaded to Facebook and Twitter. There’s something to be said for the approach a photo booth takes to a selfie. While the principle is the same at heart, taking a selfie with a photo booth is a decidedly rarer occasion than taking a selfie with your phone. This is what makes a photo booth special. While smartphones have brought with them many conveniences that we now take for granted, it’s important to remember that we couldn’t always snap selfies to our heart’s content. So the next time you take a seat in the booth take the time to savor the moment, and you may find that you just took your new favorite selfie.
