Photobooth: A Biography

By: Fitzgerald, Meags

The expanded 12th anniversary edition, release to coincide with A Lifetime in Photobooths streaming on Crave in September 2026.

For almost a century chemical photobooths have occupied public spaces, giving people the opportunity to quickly take inexpensive, quality photos. In the last two decade these machines have started to rapidly disappear, causing an eclectic group of individuals from around the world to come together and respond. Illustrator, writer and long-time photobooth lover, Meags Fitzgerald has chronicled the photobooth's fortuitous history and the events which gave rise to the desperate need to save them. Having traveled in North America, Europe and Australia, she's constructed a biography of the booth through the eyes of technicians, owners, collectors, artists and fanatics. In this ground-breaking book Fitzgerald struggles with her own relationship to these fleeting machines, while looking to the future.
