Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the analogue photobooth - Rafael Hortala Vallve, AUTOFOTO 45:21

hace 22 días45:21

45:21

In 1925, 100 years ago, Anatol Josepho invented the first fully automated, coin-operated photobooth which he named the Photomaton. Stationed on Broadway near Times Square in New York City, over 250,000 Americans used the photobooth in its first year, paying 25 cents and waiting patiently for eight minutes while their photo strips developed. A game-changer for the world of photography, the photobooth would become ubiquitous in cities around the world. In the 1950s and 1960s, photobooths became a common feature at fairs, shopping centres and train stations and were loved by everyone from John Lennon and Yoko Ono to John and Jaqueline Kennedy and even employed by artist Andy Warhol for his now famous series of self-portraits. Fast forward to 2025 and AUTOFOTO is marking the booth’s 100 year anniversary with a series of globally connected events, profiles and celebrations including major exhibitions and interventions across London, New York and Arles, projects with community groups, artists and designers, plus special events centered around their London and Barcelona based booths and in partnership with colleagues across the Globe. - Official website: https://autofoto.org/ - AUTOFOTO London: https://www.instagram.com/autofoto.london/ - AUTOFOTO Barcelona: https://www.instagram.com/autofoto.barcelona/ - The Real Selfie Project: https://www.instagram.com/therealselfieproject/ - Photo London Fair: https://photolondon.org/exhibitors/2024-2/autofoto/ - International Photobooth Convention: https://www.autophoto.org/convention - The Photographers' Gallery London: https://thephotographersgallery.org.uk/2025-photographers-gallery Rafael Hortala Vallve is the founder of AUTOFOTO, an analogue photobooth company based in London and Barcelona.

In this episode I am speaking with four members of the Berlin chapter of the Female Photoclub. A Germany wide professional association which aims to increase visibility of female photographers, advocates for equality in the industry, and raises awareness of issues such as pay inequality and lack of representation.

Invisible Lines - Reflexionen der Gegenwart Under the title Invisible Lines – Reflexionen der Gegenwart 28 photographers from the Berlin Regional Group of the Female Photoclub explore the invisible boundaries of our society. In a time of growing conflicts and divisions, the photographs illuminate the subtle lines between closeness and distance, familiarity and otherness, community and isolation. “Invisible Lines” establishes a dialogue between individual perspectives and larger social structures, calling for reflection on the fractures of our time and encouraging ways to overcome them. - https://emop-berlin.eu/en/exhibition/invisible-lines/5624f791-8dd3-4d9d-8096-c29d75dc1bea/ - https://femalephotoclub.com/post/female-photoclub-berlin-invisible-lines-reflexionen-der-gegenwart-2025/ The Female Photoclub The Female Photoclub was initiated in 2017 and has been a registered association since 2020 for professional photographers.

Her photographs capture these spaces in their unique aesthetics and atmosphere. She completed her photography training at Lette Verein and holds a degree in Art History and Cultural Studies from Humboldt University in Berlin. Since 2024, she has been a board member of the Female Photoclub and leads its Berlin regional group. - https://www.nataliacarstens.com/ - https://www.instagram.com/natalia_carstens/ Catherine Lieser works with digital photography, with a focus on portraits. She was born in Essen in 1986, studied at the University of Television and Film in Munich and lives and works in Berlin. She is a part of the Female Photoclub and the Professional Association of Freelance Photographers and Film Designers. In her art projects she is dealing with the question of whether and how one can unlearn normative thinking and behavior, such as gender-specific categorisations. We as society are surrounded by an imagery that shape such thinking and behavior and her work is an attempt to create visual counter-narratives, that stand in contrast to the normative imagery. - https://www.catherinelieser.com/ - https://www.instagram.com/catherine_lieser/ Chiara Dazi is an Italian documentary photographer with a passion for sports and the East; she is interested in how collective memories and borders influence identities and how individuals and communities deal with the notion of belonging and traditions.
