Keith Loutit’s Small Worlds

Keith Loutit is known for his Bath­tub series of short films, that present Syd­ney and its sur­rounds in minia­ture. Loutit’s scaled down, and sped up real­i­ties chal­lenge people’s per­cep­tions of scale, help­ing them to dis­tance them­selves from places they know well.

Here is a pre­view of what’s to come.

These have been get­ting more and more pop­u­lar with today’s events; espe­cially wed­dings. But lately, this is prob­a­bly one of the nicest look­ing ones I’ve seen (though online). It was pro­duced by Mar­ija Ivkovic & Lach­lan Moore.

This is the worlds first fully portable, high res­o­lu­tion, dig­i­tal, archi­tec­turally designed part inflat­able pho­to­booth. Devel­oped by two com­mer­cial pho­tog­ra­phers from Mel­bourne, the con­cept was stum­bled upon when we turned a tiny room into a dig­i­tal pho­to­booth for a stu­dio lunch party. It was an instant hit, with queues of peo­ple and around 800 shots taken by the end of the night!

The fol­low­ing day we thought ‘let’s build one’. So we did!

Though based in Mel­bourne, they ser­vice most parts of Aus­tralia. It also seems that they are open to the pos­si­bil­ity of events out­side of the coun­try as they have it as an option on their site’s esti­mate form. For more info, you may check them out at photobooth.com.au
