After seeing the resurgence of film cameras and vintage video cams, we should have guessed that photobooths would be hot on their heels. Whether it’s a café, a bar or even the airport, it feels like every local business is taking on the trend. Here’s where to find Gold Coast photobooths.
Down an unassuming driveway next to Malibu Racquet Club, in the ground floor of an apartment building, is Automatica – the photobooth changing Burleigh nights out for the better. Open in the afternoon and evening on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, it’s a true ode to analogue – and not just photography, but music and television, too.
As lovers of all things vintage, it’s particularly fitting that Strange Days would have their very own vintage photobooth in store. While you’re browsing their hand-picked, internationally sourced selection of clothes, accessories and shoes, you can also jump in the booth and snap some selfies.
Adorned in cowhide and chrome, The Archives is as chic as its Oxley 1823 home – with neighbours like Moustache, Lars and Sueno, it had to be. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee in the morning or a wine in the evening, popping into The Archives makes any outing more memorable.
As if we needed another reason to visit the Pav, they’ve just unveiled a new photobooth – and it’s already drawing a crowd. Bang on theme in butter yellow, the new addition gives punters the perfect way to capture the fun of a long lunch or a night out. Pop the photo strip on your fridge or on your feed – the choice is yours.
Why wait until your holiday starts? Pay a visit to one of the two photobooths newly-installed at the Gold Coast Airport – in the Domestic Terminal and the International Departures lounge – and start capturing the memories before you even board your flight. The perfect addition to your travel journal.
One of the latest local businesses to join the photobooth club, Sofia’s is offering their patrons a shot at a $1000 voucher (pun intended). Take a photo in their new photobooth, add your email and you’ll go into the draw to win. Hurry, the competition only runs for a few weeks – it will be gone in a flash (sorry, we’ll stop).
