Photographer Alexander Morris wanted to add a photobooth as a fun addition to events.
While the pictures and long-lasting-memories that a photobooth creates are important, the looks of the booth are crucial to attract visitors to take photos. Alex did a spectacular job on the design side, without sacrificing any quality.
Here are some of the booth's highlights: (yes, you can build one yourself if you follow closely). Click to continue ›
When people talk about photobooth, I usually think about an old school, van-sized box with a curtain and a few slots. The folks at HYPERHYPER have a completely different view on the subject. It is innovative in every single way.
Where conventional thinking is box & curtain, they think totally exposed
Where conventional thinking is hit a button, they think automation by facial recognition
Where conventional thinking is Printed strips, they think animated Gif
Where conventional thinking is hidden camera, they think ring light surrounded iPad Click to continue ›
This has to be one of the more creative photobooths ideas I've seen. The Zombie Detector Photobooth is just like any other booth in the sense that it takes your photograph, but unlike a regular photobooth, it will also test if you are human.
I love a good photobooth. Nothing beats the thrill of getting a just printed strip with 4 images of my current state of being. Actually I keep a ton of pictures take n on various booths of myself from all over the world.
OK, one thing may beat that, and that is a photobooth that creates 3D images. (or rather 3D animated gifs).
Digital Kitchen, a Seattle-Los Angeles-Chicago design firm created a photobooth that uses 3 Canon 5D MKII, 4 Macbook Pros and a bit of software sorcery. The result, a photobooth that creates 3D magical images.
So where can you get one? Ah, that’s the rub. “We have no plans to commercialize the Protobooth,” David Mikula told me in an email. Mikula, who holds the cool title of “Senior Creation,” worked on the project with a half dozen others on the team. “It was an internal project that we had a lot of fun creating. That being said, everything we learned from this process has the potential to make its way into future projects.”#
It would be totally rad if the good guys at Digital kitchen made a tutorial on how to get a setup like this working. Till they do, click here to see all the images.
