Anatol Josepho, from Siberia, patented his 'Photomaton' in 1925. An automatic photography machine, the Photomaton produced a strip of 8 photographs. This was the first successful photo booth. By the way, I see both photo booth and photobooth used to describe the machine.


Most photo booth photos are black and white and about 1.5" x 2" in size. I have some that have been hand colored. Strips of un-cut photo booth photos are not found often.


Here are a few selected images from my collection.

  1. The sixth picture down resembles a serious photo of me taken when I was 14. That was the year I discovered how to dress myself.
