New Photobooth Art

Whoo. So much has happened in the month since I last posted that it will take me some time to catch up with it here. June was a fun whirlwind of events of projects. I was in Chicago for three weeks, and amongst many things I shot some new pieces of photobooth art at A&A Studios.

In the days after the International Photobooth Convention (more about this in posts to come) I had five chemical photobooths all to myself. I was just like a kid in a candy shop- with an unlimited budget and a giant stomach. The different photobooth models and paper types gave me a lot of freedom for the projects I wanted to execute.

Taken in a Model 11, running on colour chemistry and paper. The sides of this image are white
because the roll of paper had been exposed to light at some time. I used a gel on the camera lens.

produced beautiful high contrast photographs. Copyright Meags Fitzgerald 2014.
