PHOTO BANG!
Vintage style & analog photo booths for FREE placement
classic analog photobooths and vintage-style DIGITAL photobooths
Our bread and butter is building photo booths for bars, public spaces, hotels, etc, in select markets. We work in the analog aesthetic, but with our own in-house special mix of components and features, custom electrical/mechanical and software to ensure stunning portraits and reliability. Our team of artisans and local vendors create bespoke photobooths right here in Denver, Colorado.

Our passion is buying and restoring vintage photobooths. Want to sell a photobooth (or 5)? We need them and will offer top prices. We fund this passion by building and placing our vintage-style digital machines.
We currently do not have any true vintage analog photobooths for sale.
Check back here at a later date or follow along with us on Instagram for our latest restorations.
INSPIRED BY ANALOG
Pictured: 1950s Model 14 Wingtop Analog Photobooth, famous for two things: (1) It lived at Playland Arcade in Times Square where it was used by stars like Iggy Pop and Andy Warhol. (2) We sold this booth to Warner Bros Pictures for use as a hero prop in the film It: Chapter 2 in 2019. Set designers wanted us to keep the original patina and prepare for use on set.If you’re looking for a photobooth you’ll notice some things:
It’s hard to find info and prices. There are only a handful of small shops in this niche business. Our custom shop stays busy and updating this site and marketing are often our last priority.
Photobooths you see for sale from some shops are often poorly executed imitations and just don’t look right - signage, seats, door design, curtains, etc. Sometimes this is due to cost (it’s often expensive to do it right) and sometimes other factors like experience, space limitations or lack of access to the appropriate materials or artisans.
Photo Bang stays true to classic photobooth design in every detail.
Our custom built digital-retro machines do not use screens or capture data. This is because we believe in (1) an old school experience, (2) excellent portraits, and (3) privacy.
The first thing you see with nearly all other photobooths on the market is a screen because screens are easy to do. Our in-house designed electrical system of involves timers, relays, indicator lights, and a custom flash setup to create an analog-type experience that is private and produces stunning portraits. This is not an easy method, but in our opinion it is the only way to achieve the same timeless experience that previous generations enjoyed.
For our analog restorations, we stay true to the photobooth’s original appearance. We understand signage, font choice, and what it means to restore without cutting corners. Other shops may define restoration differently. One thing is for sure: you’ll never see a rusty component in our machines.
PHOTO BANG PHILOSOPHY
Photobooths are about a pure, personal portrait of someone at a point in time that says I was here, I looked like this and I felt like that. Our machines provide these timeless memories for people without demanding they share any personal info. Put a Photo Bang booth in your business and experience the buzz around our machine with your branding.
