This year, 2013, is the 125th Anniversary of the
photo booths. The photo booth was patented in 1888 by William Pope and Edward
Poole. It wasn’t called a photo booth then, rather an automated photography
machine.
The first commercially successful photo booth was the Bosco
in Hamburg, Germany.
The modern concept of a photo booth arrived in the U.S. in
1923. It made its first appearance on Broadway in New York City, New York. The booth took, developed and printed 8
photos in ten minutes for only 25 cents.
Photo booths are now a common activity at weddings, fairs,
arcades, and amusement parks. Amateurs are also starting to make their own.
Here are some video ideas to make your own!
