Photo booths are autonomous photographic complexes, often a type of vending machine, where you can take a picture and quickly get ready-made photos.

The history of this convenient combination of photographic printing technology and the payment machine dates back to 1889 when the French inventor Théophile Engelbert patented the first workable automatic camera. In the same year, it was shown at the Paris World Exhibition.

But in the form of the camera with the vending machine, it first appeared in 1924 on Broadway (New York, USA), thanks to the efforts of the American inventor Anatole Marco Josepho. His first self-contained photo booth was called the Photomaton.

This ingenious business venture has proven to be incredibly successful. During the first 6 months of work, 280 thousand people used the services of “Photomaton” in New York! The photo booths of Anatol Joseph were so wildly popular that neither the Great Depression in the United States nor World War II could interfere with the business success of the now Photomaton company.

Until recently, during the domination of analog photographic equipment, photo booths were used primarily as a means of promptly obtaining photographs for documents. The person being photographed could independently control his position in front of the photographic lens using an ordinary mirror in the booth.

Photographing was carried out immediately on the so-called, reversible photographic paper, bypassing the intermediate stage of negative photographic film. The efficiency of obtaining photos in photo booths reached only 3-5 minutes. At the same time, the darkroom should have expected a result of at least a few hours.

Today, in the conditions of the dominance of digital photographic equipment, the functionality of modern photo machines has significantly expanded. Now they often don’t even look like a booth, but more like a portable device.

They are able to obtain a high-quality image not only at a fixed focal length but within a certain photo zone. They can take not only individual but also group shots. They are able to individualize (customize) photos through the use of light filters, photo effects, branding.
