During the legislative session on the final day of the most recent International Photobooth Convention in London, the assembled delegates voted unanimously to affirm the most reasonable spelling of the word “photobooth”: the spelling containing no spaces. Well-meaning members of the press and public continue to misspell the word by inserting a pesky space between the “o” and the “b”, thereby turning a single tidy word into an unwieldy and unnecessary bifurcation.

The matter was referred to the full session of delegates by the Subcommittee on Naming and Conventions sometime in the past year.

A wonderful event ended with some truly exciting talks and demonstrations, plus more group projects and the inevitable goodbyes. Thank you to Marco, Rafa, and their colleagues and families for an amazing weekend! We’ll have a proper wrap-up to come.

Another action-packed day.

A busy first full day of convention in London!

The 2023 convention has begun! Thanks to our hosts for a wonderful opening event at the studio last night.

At long last, the 2023 International Photobooth Convention, organized by Autofoto and co-presented by Photobooth.net, will take place in London, July 13–16.

Initially scheduled for June 2020 then cancelled due to Covid, the event is a much-anticipated opportunity to get together with photobooth artists, operators, and enthusiasts from around the world for talks, projects, classes, screenings, and other events focused on analog photobooths.

While the schedule is being finalized, we can note the weekend will include a number of artistic and technical workshops, visits to analog booths around London, and screenings focused on photobooths in cinema, presented by Photobooth.net, including the following:

Saturday, July 13: 12:45 ‘Photobooths in cinema’ talk before 35mm screening of SHIRLEY VALENTINE at the Prince Charles Cinema.

Purchase your tickets for the event via Eventbrite.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!
