How We Recreated a Vintage Analog Photo Booth Experience

When Leon Thomas celebrated the release of his Pholks album at Soso’s in NYC, the vibe called for something that felt just as smooth and elevated as the music itself. This wasn’t the kind of night for an ordinary photo booth. The energy was intimate, stylish, and effortlessly cool.

So we leaned into that mood and created a setup that felt editorial and nostalgic, inspired by the viral photo booth aesthetic of @boothbybryant, delivering photos that looked like they could’ve come straight from a vintage archive. Guests stepped in, the lighting hit just right, and every frame captured the understated, late-night magic of the celebration.

Straight from our photo booth!

Inspired by @boothbybryant’s Iconic Analog Aesthetic

If you’re on Instagram, you’ve likely seen @boothbybryant, a cult-favorite analog photo booth account known for its dramatic black-and-white portraits, real film grain, and emotional, stripped-down energy. It’s the kind of booth that feels like art, not just a snapshot.

At Flux, we used our Classic Photo Booth as the base and layered on a custom vintage filter to recreate that analog feel complete with soft grain, sharp contrast, and rich, moody depth. We added our signature red velvet curtain backdrop to elevate the visual texture and give it that classic old-school drama.

The result? A photo experience that looked like it belonged in an indie fashion magazine. 🎞️
