about

what it is

a free photobooth that runs entirely in your browser. three shots, a hand-drawn frame, and a download. the part that makes it worth building is the second download: a phone wallpaper with the same three shots laid into a template matched to the frame you chose — a layout drawn for a lock screen, not the strip shrunk onto a backdrop.

why the frames spill over

every frame here breaks its own border somewhere — a sticker sits half across a photo, a star is drawn straight through a window, a line keeps going after it should have stopped. that is why the photo openings are cut out of the artwork rather than laid on top of it: a frame that stays neatly inside itself would be a different product.

the artwork

all of it is original and made for this site. each frame is drawn as a single sheet with the photo openings punched clean through it, so your shots sit inside the artwork instead of behind a window laid over them. nothing is traced, sampled or borrowed from anyone.

inspiration

this booth exists because of my sketch booth by @visarchivess. the idea of a photobooth that hands you something hand-drawn instead of a clean rectangle came from there, and so did the confidence that it was worth building at all.

what is borrowed is the idea, not the work: every frame, template and drawing here was made from scratch for this site, and the two booths look nothing alike. go and use theirs too — it is lovely, and it came first.
