Suddenly this little photo booth just got a lot more interesting.
***
Vintage-style analog photo booths - fotoautomats/photomatons/fotomatons - have become very trendy in Paris. They produce
classic black-and-white (sometimes color) photo strips, and the most iconic are operated or restored by Fotoautomat, which revives old
machines (usually €4–6 per strip)
