Our goal was to create a book that would reflect the spontaneous and uninhibited character of the photobooth images that are this book’s subject. Each of these photographs has a story to tell, so we decided it best to just let the images speak for themselves without too many graphic elements. Pacing and interesting juxtapositions propel readers through the book. It was necessary for us to create an object that people would see and instinctively want to pick up and take home as a memento of their own photobooth experiences. Producing a book that’s appealing as a collectible, but also affordable, object is always difficult.
