A New Editorial Publication

The Culture of
Capturing Moments

A premium newsletter for photobooth history, event aesthetics,
photography culture, and the people who make it all happen.

1925 The year the automatic photobooth arrived.
This is its publication.
There are trade magazines for the rental industry. Nothing for the culture. Nothing for the photographers, the event designers, the curators of the moment. The photobooth democratized portraiture — made everyone a subject. It deserves a publication that takes it seriously.
The Editors, The 1925 Club
