Vintage Photo Booth


I've become more and more interested in vernacular photography, particularly from pre-1970. The photograph above reminds me of Paolo Roversi's work, with the very shallow depth of field, mottled backdrop, soft glowing light and the dreamy gaze in the model's faces. I find it interesting how the subjects in the image appear so relaxed and unfazed by having their photograph taken and appear incredibly model-esque in comparison to typical photo booth images.
