The Self-Portrait Project — Local services in New York

My wife and I first experienced the Self Portrait Project at a bar on her birthday in Brooklyn, which had a "photo booth" set up outside on the window that captured the cutest photos with excellent quality.

If you're looking for a hands-on, experiential way for your guests to engage with your business/brand/event in a meaningful way (and look good doing...

The photos you take are about self-representation, but the experience is surprisingly communal. You step into the booth thinking it’s just about you, but it quickly becomes a space of shared discovery and connection. Strangers gather to figure out what’s so fascinating, conversations spark, and then there’s this rare energy where people are just organically engaging with...
