PORTRAIT EST. 19th CENTURY LARGE FORMAT / EARLY 1900s
LeRobotBooth Presents

The Time
Travel
Photobooth

Guests step in front of a camera built before electricity was common in homes. They step away holding a portrait of themselves from another century.

The Concept

A photograph placed
in another era

A guest stands before the camera. A single frame is taken. That frame is then interpreted through AI and returned as a portrait in the tradition of a past era, complete with period styling, tonal character, and the material quality of antique photography.

The result is not a filter. It is a considered portrait. Printed on premium stock and handed to the guest within moments of capture.

Something physical. Something they did not expect. Something they will not throw away.

The Instrument

A camera
built before
the modern world

The experience is anchored by a large format camera handcrafted in the early 1900s. It is not decorative. It is the functional centrepiece of every activation.

Authenticated Est. 1900–1920s

The camera is constructed from hardwood and fitted with brass hardware. Its mechanical components, including the shutter, bellows, and precision lens assembly, date from a period when every camera was built by hand to last.

This is a fully restored and fully operational instrument. Every guest stands in front of something that predates the digital era by over a century. That context is felt in the room. It changes how guests carry themselves before the lens.

The camera does not exist to look interesting. It exists because it is interesting, and because nothing manufactured today could create the same quality of presence.

The Process
How It Works

Three steps.
One lasting object.

Step 01
Guest steps in
The guest takes their place in front of the camera. No instruction manual. No awkward setup. The camera does the rest of the work.
Step 02
Captured. Transformed.
The antique large format camera captures the frame. The image is processed through AI and returned as a finished portrait in the style of a chosen historical era, with period-accurate tonal and compositional character.
Step 03
Delivered. Kept.
The portrait is printed on-site on premium stock and handed directly to the guest. A digital version is also available via QR code for instant access. For brand activations, custom email delivery can be configured to extend reach beyond the event floor.
The Moment
The moment a guest sees
themselves from another era

There is a specific reaction that happens when a person receives their portrait. It is not excitement in the way a photo booth produces excitement. It is something quieter and more lasting. Curiosity first. Then a kind of recognition. Then the question: is that actually me?

Guests do not discard the print at the end of the night. They show other people. They talk about it in the car on the way home. It becomes the answer to the question every host wants their event to answer: what was memorable about that night?

Curiosity
Guests approach the camera with genuine interest. The instrument itself invites engagement before the shutter is ever released.
Surprise
The finished portrait arrives quickly and arrives differently than anything guests expect. The reaction is genuine because the result is genuinely unexpected.
Connection
The print travels home with the guest. It sits on a desk. It gets photographed and shared. The event outlives the night because the object does.
The Occasion
Where it belongs

Built for events
that demand more

Brand Activations
Something worth stopping for

The camera draws attention before anyone approaches. Guests gather to watch. They queue to participate. The portrait they leave with carries a visual identity that can be branded to the event.

Foot traffic builds organically. Social sharing follows naturally. The activation creates content that guests produce and distribute on their own terms.

Weddings
A keepsake that holds its meaning

Wedding guests receive something they will not find at any other event they attend this year. A portrait that is personal, unusual, and made specifically for them that evening.

The print does not fade. It does not live on a phone that gets replaced. It occupies physical space in a guest's home in a way that a digital file never will.

Private Events
The thing people talk about after

For milestone gatherings, private dinners, and hosted celebrations, the Time Travel Photobooth introduces something no guest has seen before. The conversation it starts does not require any assistance.

It provides the event with its own distinct character. Guests remember the evening for the experience, not just the occasion.

What Is Included
What's included

Everything
the experience
requires

Every activation is delivered as a complete, self-contained experience. Nothing the event organiser needs to source separately. Nothing the guest needs to do after they leave.

On-Site Printing
Every portrait is printed and delivered at the event. Guests walk away with something in their hands before the evening ends.
AI Historical Portraits
Each image is interpreted through AI to reflect the visual conventions and tonal qualities of a specific historical era.
Restored Early-1900s Camera
The large format camera is the centrepiece of the experience. Over a century old. Fully functional. Present in every activation.
Premium Print Quality
Output is produced on stock that matches the weight and finish of the portrait itself. Not a souvenir. A finished object.
Seamless Guest Flow
The process from arrival to printed portrait is designed to move efficiently without sacrificing the quality of the experience at any point.
Custom Branding Options
The portrait template and print presentation can be configured to carry the visual identity of a brand or event without interfering with the portrait itself.

Not a
photobooth.
A portrait.

Most event photography is forgotten within a week. The Time Travel Photobooth produces something guests return to. A physical portrait of themselves, from a time before them, made the evening they were there.

That is what stays with people. That is what they bring home.
