Our Photobooths

Texture, imperfections, and pure spontaneity!
Only Black and White... For Now.

Only Black and White... For Now.

Anyone who's visited our stores knows how much we love photobooths. There's no substitute for the texture, imperfections, and pure spontaneity they capture.

We've had two in Manchester for many years, and our Leeds store is home to a legendary 1960s M12 Black-and-White Photobooth. With some recent additions, we now proudly have five photobooths at our Manchester HQ. Most of these mid-century wonders were made when The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix ruled the airwaves. However, all those years of rock and roll have taken their toll.

Unfortunately, only our 1968 Photo-Me Model 17 Black & White Photo Booth (Manchester Black and White Booth) is currently functional. The rest have all been checked into intensive care with our resident "boother", Stu. He's good, but with parts no longer in production and the chemicals hard to come by, it's a slow process. But trust us, it'll be worth the wait.

We hope to have the rest of them back in action as soon as possible with the help of the wider community of boothers. One lucky booth caught the eye of Matteo Sani of Fotoautomatica and is now Florence-bound to be cared for by one of the best in the business. Alright, for some. We'd also like to thank Marco and Rafa at Autofoto London for their expertise through the years and all the legends at Photobooth.net for providing an invaluable resource.

1986 Colour Photo-Me Model 17C

1986 Colour Photo-Me Model 17C

Unfortunately, come Christmas 2023, we had to make the tough decision to close this booth for good due to the depletion of our paper supply. If you happen to know someone with a large roll of 1986 photobooth paper, we'd love to hear from you. We trust you enjoyed the moments captured in this booth!

This was the one and only public color analogue photo booth in Western Europe - a stunning Photo-Me Model 17C color booth from around 1986. You could find this vintage gem at our Manchester HQ. Keeping this beauty operational has been a labor of love. Replacement parts are a rarity, and the chemicals needed are nearly extinct.

1968 Photo-Me Model 17 Black & White Photo Booth

1968 Photo-Me Model 17 Black & White Photo Booth

This is the first booth we acquired. The mighty Photo-Me Model 17 Black and White booth from 1968. It was manufactured right here in the UK but spent most of its life in a Woolworth’s store in Canada. Now sits happily in on the top floor of our Manchester store.

1963 M12 Black and White Photo Booth

1963 M12 Black and White Photo Booth

Our oldest Photo Booth takes pride of place in our Leeds store. This completely original piece of the 60’s has been kept alive thanks to a few dedicated ‘boothers’, without whom it could have been lost to history.

Our Photobooth Collection

Our Photobooth Collection

We're always busy tinkering with our "experienced" photobooths. Recently, we've also been cooking up some products inspired by our love for them.

We've distilled some of their exquisite mid-century charm into a selection of choice homewares and accessories.
