Called AUTOPHOTO, the female-founded venue is part archive, gallery, and working studio, with six restored booths that visitors can use to create authentic vintage-style photo strips (priced $8–$12).
The space also features historical displays and rotating exhibitions from artists who work within the format's signature four frames. Among the highlights: a rare color-chemistry booth, an original Polaroid photobooth and 100-year-old artifacts tied to inventor Anatol Josepho.
AUTOPHOTO will be open Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 10 p.m.
Once a fading novelty, photobooths have made a comeback in recent years, with some young adults preferring the imperfect magic of a chemical print to another phone filter.
