Jarvis Cocker Photo Booth Strip Bookmarks

Photoautomat — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 15:04:29 +0000

The special edition of Jarvis Cockers – Mother, Brother, Lover: selected lyrics - each contain a unique bookmark shot in our photo booth at Cargo.
To my great surprise he came to the shoot just himself without any entourage, as you’d expect from a big rock star. Equipped with just Mr Oizo, a pen and some sheets of paper he soldiered through all photo booth strips in one go. We had scheduled 3 2hour sessions before, but while I sorted some refreshments in between, he didn’t leave the booth before he had shot 400 of the 480 images.

It was great spending some time with the man. Totally down to earth and easy to talk to. He told me about his upcoming reading and Q&A at his secondary school in Sheffield. He said the reading gave him many sleepless nights and that he was more scared of appearing at his former school than he a had ever been before a gig or other public appearances.

The next set features Mr Oizo the pseudonym of French DJ and film director Quentin Dupieux. Mr Oizo was a present from his girlfriend. Jarvis became quite fond of the little creature on a gig at Fabric where he did a DJ set. To Jarvis great amusement Mr Oizo was dancing in the DJ booth of another set.

That was my day with Jarvis talking France, his son, Pulp, Mr Oizo, Sheffield and other stuff. I let you out with Jarvis talking to Faber Publishing Director Lee Brackstone about writing lyrics, his inspiration, habits and thoughts on putting together his first published collection.

Get out there and get yourself a copy. It’s a great read and must for any fan.
The special edition comes at quite a price, but the normal hard cover comes at £10.49 and that leaves you still a few quid to go out and shoot your own bookmark (Cheeky suggestion,I know, but well…) at our Photoautomat.

Kate Tylers Alphabetak Photo booth Series

Photoautomat — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 17:58:11 +0000

Nottingham seems to be the home of photo booth art these days. Artists include Mr MixUp, John Perivolaris and Kate Tyler. I am glad they are regular customers to my booth. Over the time I bumped into them and had a few photo booth sessions with Mr MixUp.

Kate Tyler is a self-confessed photo booth fanatic and photographer. In her Aplphabetak series she shoots different versions of the alphabet – from Arabic, sign language to Morse code. All beautifully shot in our Photoautomat. No edits and photo shop. Just pure analogue photo booth strips. Follow the link below to her website for her other work.

Great article over at Enez Vaz. The photography event Les Rencontrese 2011 in Arles is now the 42nd time running and has a photo booth installed.

Tantrum Magazine Launch Photo Booth Feature

Photoautomat — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 17:54:04 +0000

I met Amy and here girls a while ago for a photo shoot at the booth. Tantrum Magazine had their launch party 2 weeks ago at 93 feet east and their first issue went on-line a week ago. Chuffed I could contribute at such early state and be part of their first issue.

There was a funny moment when the make up artist realised that the booth only shoots black and white, nevertheless she added some bold eyes and lips to the photos.

Fashion comes usually in a form of a t-shirt and jeans to me, but still I thought it’s a good read and well made. Wish them all the best with future issues. It’s about time for a new and fresh magazine out there. Make sure you follow the link below check out the magazine.

“…Tantrum Magazine is an upcoming quarterly publication aimed at unconventional and independent fashion-forward individuals aged 16-25…Taking the spotlight off the countless whimsical magazines of the day, Tantrum caters for those who prefer their dose of fashion with an eclectic mix of music and cultural features and a whole load of attitude.”

A Hard Days Night

Photoautomat — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:30:59 +0000

One of the Beatles songs that I actually kinda like features a sweet little photo booth scene.

Yeah, it’s true I’m not a fan, but don’t blame it on the booth. This is just a personal thing.

The booth is still the same old booth,taking four black and white analogue photos. Enjoy the video and don’t forget to drop by soon for your little escape…

Photoautomat — Sun, 15 May 2011 17:58:02 +0000

Photographer Shiraz Ksaiba is collecting photo booth portraits for her project:

“This is one of the only analogue photo booths in London. Bring any props that you would like to use for the pictures as little or as much as you like as long as we can still both fit in the booth. I will cover the first set of pics for the project & if you want a 2nd set for you to keep then you pay for that!”

We organized this date short notice and hope you can make to Cargo to get your photos taken. Maybe you work in the area and can pop over in your lunch break or have your day off and in the area.

Check here collection so far on her blog and Facebook:

Photo shoot

Photoautomat — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 16:01:11 +0000

Diana from Fashion Loves Photos offered me generously a photo shoot after meeting on Twitter, lots of tweets and #ff. Awesome, I’m talking hash tags now. Never thought it will this so far, but well…

We finally managed to meet up. It was nice and sunny and thanks to Cargo there were some cold beers around. Thank god it was one of the rare sunny days this year. Most of the time I meet somebody at the booth, it happened to be freezing cold in the winter.

Diana brought her friend Natalie along and you can see them fooling around in the booth on her blog.
