- A photo booth is a vending machine or modern kiosk that contains an automated, usually coin-operated, camera and film processor. Today the vast majority of photo booths are digital. Traditionally photo booths contain a seat or bench designed to seat the one or two patrons being photographed. Once the payment is made, the photo booth will take a series of photographs (though most modern booths may only take a single photograph and print out a series of identical pictures). Before each photograph, there will be an indication, such as a light or a buzzer, that will signal the patron to prepare their pose. After the last photograph in the series (typically between 3 and 8) has been taken, the photo booth begins developing the film, which whilst it used to take several minutes in the old 'wet chemistry' booths, now with digital technology will take typically about 30 seconds and then deliver the strip of prints. Typical dimensions of these prints vary. The classic and most familiar arrangement from the old style photo booths is 4 pictures on a strip about 40 mm wide by 205 mm long; digital prints tend to have a square arrangement of two images above two images. Both black and white and colour photo booths are common in the US, however in Europe the colour photo booth has almost entirely replaced the B & W . Indeed digital booths now offer the customer the option of whether to print in colour or B & W. Most modern photo booths use video or digital cameras instead of film cameras, and are under computer control. Some variants produce stickers, postcards, or other items with the photographs on them, rather than simply a strip of pictures. These often include an option of novelty borders around the photos. There are three countries in the world with major infrastructures of photo booths, these are the UK, Japan, France. Many other countries have mature photo booth markets but with a lower level of penetration. These would include Germany, Italy, Spain, Benelux and Scandinavia. Other countries are starting to build photo booth markets such as Australia. In Europe and Japan, photo booths are mainly to be found in places of high footfall such as railway stations, shopping centres and supermarkets as their main use is for passports, driving licences, and other forms of identification. In the United States, photo booths are purely used for entertainment and as a result the US is a very small market for photo booth operators when compared to Europe and the Far East. Indeed there are three or four times as many photo booths in the UK alone than there are in the whole of America where they are typically installed indoors in places for entertainment, such as arcades and amusement parks. In some US cities photo booths may also be found in train stations and other transportation hubs, as a means of obtaining a photograph needed for inclusion in a transit pass.
- Ein Fotoautomat, teilweise auch Fotokabine genannt, ist eine etwa 2 m × 2 m × 1 m große Raumkonstruktion, die eine automatische, auf Münzeinwurf basierende Kamera sowie eine Fotoschnellentwicklungsmaschine oder einen Bilddrucker enthält. Sie dient der Aufnahme von Passbildern oder spontanen Erinnerungsbildern. Man findet sie häufig an zentralen Plätzen, in Bahnhöfen, Häfen oder Flugplätzen oder in Freizeitparks und Vergnügungszentren. Inzwischen werden in den meisten Fotoautomaten bereits Digitalkameras verwendet und die Bildentwicklung erfolgt per computergesteuerter Drucker.
- Le cabine per fototessera automatiche più note nel mondo come Photomaton dai primi esemplari presentati all’esposizione Universale di Parigi nel 1890 sono state introdotte in America nel 1924 e in Italia nel 1962.
