Your Next Backdrop: Why Choose One Color When You Can Do So Much More!

A well lit subject and background will always look stunning if photographed correctly. We admire the simplicity of a stark white or an vivid backdrop to add an extra pop of color.

In the recent years, our team along with event planners and designers have collaborated to create custom backgrounds for one-of-a-kind events. Adding a few creative elements made for a more memorable experience and certainly complimented the surrounding décor.

Whether, it's designing an entire custom backdrop, adding a few elements to a current backdrop, or ditching it all together! There are many ways to tie in a theme and create a buzz among guests.

A Homeless Artist Finds Recognition With The Help Of A Bus Station Photobooths

Lee Godie was a homeless artist who found her passion in 1968. At around 60 years old, after attending an Impressionism exhibition, Godie declared herself a French Impressionist. 

She began painting and selling her portraits of high society women until 1990. Godie discovered a photo booth at the Greyhound Bus Stop in Chicago. There she would take self-portrait glam shots and add color to the 5x4 gelatin silver black and white prints. By using lipstick and instant ice tea she was able to create her own unique style. 

Lee Godie's Self-portrait collection continues at John Michael Kohler Arts Center (608 New York Avenue, Sheboygan, WI) through February 8, 2016.

 



Philippe Halsman inspires The Booth

Philippe Halsman was an American Portrait photographer. He was known for his images that were sharp rather than in soft focus and closely cropped.

We were inspired by what Halsman called Jumpology. He commented, "When you ask a person to jump, their attention is mostly directed toward the act of jumping and the mask falls so that the real person appears.”

We couldn't agree more!

We had the honor of being a part of Ilana and Matthew's elegant wedding. Planning a wedding is a lot of work, it's great to see a couple receive acknowledgment. Theknot.com posted an article about the fabulous day and tagged all the vendors, including The Booth! Not only did Ilana and Matthew create memories for a lifetime, but their guests left our booth with 4x6 prints they can cherish for years to come.
