With Halloween only a few weeks away, we are excited for all the costume parties coming our way. The costumes get better and better each year. The Booth is on-site to capture all the fun, laughs, and Halloween fear!
What will you surprise us with?
Absolutely Brilliant.
The entire Booth team has a background in professional photography. We had the honor of working with One Medical Group and their amazing team. Originally, our gear was packed with a seamless backdrop but once the silver freight elevator caught the eyes of our team, there was a change of plans. Our team was able to make the adjustments needed and create a custom look using the surroundings, pretty cool right?

Happy 10th anniversary to The Huffington Post
The Booth joins The Huffington Post for their 10th anniversary celebration!
The site launched on May 9, 2005, when blog sites were not considered as a news medium. Arianna Huffington, the Huffington Post's founder and editor-in-chief, said that her site proved to be a credible medium. Today the site reaches over 200 million unique visitors per month, and that is something worth celebrating!

CYCLE FOR SURVIVAL: E's Biker Buddies in The Booth
The time has come for Ethan and his buddies to pick up where they left off last year. We are absolutely thrilled to snap photos at the 2nd annual E's Biker Buddies event! A big thanks to Ethan's Aunt, Corey for inviting us again this year! E's Biker Buddies is the first ever ALL KIDS Cycle for Survival event where every penny raised goes to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for rare cancer research. Last year E's Biker Buddies raised an astounding $85,000 and this year they want to repeat the magic!

Photo Booth History
Today's historical post features a mysterious man that was in a photo booth picture for roughly 30 years of his adult life. To date, more than 450 of these pocket-sized images have resurfaced and are in the possession of museums, historians and antique collectors around the world. The images are believed to start in the 1930's and although many have tried, no one has yet to identify this photo booth fanatic.
Happy Halloween from The BOOth!
Malick Sidibé in The Booth
Last month, The Booth joined The Africa Center for a historical throwback photo booth. The inspiration for this photo booth came from Malian photographer Malick Sidibé who photographed members of his village in his homemade studio that we recreated.
