One of the highlights of the Urban Mixer Gallery Series Event on November 26th was the USnaps photobooth - a unique tool that captured some amazing candid and fun shots of the evening.

As a photographer who goes to these events to capture that ‘unique’ shot for the various publications I work for, I was truly surprised as to the power of the photo booth. Nobody’s ever posed like that for me - there’s definitely something empowering about a photo booth and having the subject take control of when to take the photo. For that, the USnaps photo booth gets two thumbs up. You can see all the photos at the link below.
