A photo booth project was done at NYU’s ITP in 2006 by Daniel Soltis, Scott Varland, Kate Monahan, and Jeff Sable. Their booth captured silhouettes, using Processing, Arduino, and a camera, amongst other things. The website for the Photo-Silhouette Booth is fascinating.

UPDATE!
The Photo-Silhouette Booth is now at thingsforyouandme.com. Thanks Jeff!

Daniel Minnick, you have won my heart.

Like Cindy Sherman, only better:

Not at all what I want to do, and therefore worth noting:
Lifematon wants to collect as many photo booth photos as possible and post them online.

I don’t want to collect images, or compare them, or anything along those lines. No. Glad someone else is though.

Interesting:
“But the big hit of the night was a special interactive photo installation put together by photographer Mark Van S. and design firm Pentagram (who also did the event’s color-saturated invites). Guests could step inside a booth to snap their own portraits using a digital camera, and then all of the photos got projected on a giant screen on one wall of the tent. Shot with incredibly flattering lighting against a white background, the Richard Avedon-style black-and-white portraits rotated throughout the night.”

The same installation appeared at the Whitney in 2006, according to BizBash.
