© 2023 Retro Photo Booth
retro photo booth for your event
wooden camera and real time picture developing
Rretro photo booth Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec
We take pictures with a camera from the middle of the last century, we develop photographs using the technique of the early twentieth century, and we observe the magic of the appearance of a picture now, at the present time.
In the digital era, photographs have become common, so much that we don’t even notice how we take one hundred photos per second. We do the exact opposite! This way, each photo gains significance and value. In front of everyone’s eyes, something is being created that cannot be repeated – a captured moment in time.
Thanks to the synthesis of new technologies and old recipes, viewers can observe all the process that takes place with the image in real time.
Our photo lab will interest both the young and the older generations.

How we work
The sequence of the retro photo booth

First stage:
Photographing an object

A guest freezes for a minute. The photographer adjusts the focus, opens the lens for a few seconds. A bright flash and it's done.

Second stage:

The first two processes take place in a mobile photo lab. This is a small darkroom of the size of a chest. Inside there is a camera that broadcasts what is happening on the TV screen and everyone can watch the negative appear.
The following processes are not afraid of light and are carried out right on the table.
First, the negative will disappear, and then a positive image will appear.
In total, it takes about 3 minutes to process one photo.

These photos will not spoil for at least 150 years.
This is a real photo on the technology of the last century. So our grandfathers and great-grandfathers were photographed. Agree, it is nice to take such a gift with you.
