Abstract
A self-photography booth comprises a booth having a first end portion for a person to be photographed and a spaced and aligned opposite second end portion. A camera is operably associated with the second end portion and includes a selectively operable film advance system for advancing a length of film having a plurality of frames through the camera in a sequential manner and a shutter button for selectively exposing a frame of the film with an image of the person. A video camera is operatively associated with the second end portion and with the camera for receiving the image of the person perceived by the camera. A video display is operably associated with the video camera and with the second end portion for displaying the perceived image. A push button selector assembly is operably associated with the camera for selectively causing or preventing operation of the film advance system after operation of the shutter assembly so that prevention of operation of the film advance system prevents the film from advancing to the next frame so that the exposed frame may receive multiple exposures and operation of the film advance system causes the film to advance to the next frame.
