Renting a Colorado photo booth has become very popular lately, for events of different types and sizes. Weddings, birthday parties, corporate parties - the presence of the photo booth became part of their decor, because it is a fun way to add some color to these events.
The history of the Colorado photo booth contains a few less-known things.
... The patent for the first photo booth was files in 1888! Unfortunately, it has never been built.
... The first photo booth was presented in 1889 at the The Exposition Universelle in Paris, by photographer Mathew Steffens. Unfortunately, that rudimentary version of a photo booth was hard to use and did not have public success.
... The first commercially successful photo booth belonged to Conrad Bernit and was baptized Bosco (1890).
... The first curtain-enclosed photo booth appeared only in 1925 and was built by Anatol Josepho. It was placed on Broadway and, for 25 cents, anyone could receive 8 photos in about 10 minutes.
Since then, photo booths have experienced a spectacular transformation, they become smaller, easier to carry and install, and, most importantly, easier to use by the public. The only thing left unchanged is the fun they keep generating, wherever they are placed.
