'Photobooth' by Zachary Proctor is a collection of 100 paintings depicting all types of people in different poses.

This Utah artist paints an impressive array of portraits illustrating real people, some made-up and others deceased. The collection of paintings includes people playing instruments, tennis players, Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst and many more.

It's titled 'Photobooth' because of Proctor's [profile snapshots of his subjects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frames-booth). It's evident that these finished paintings are made with paint and a brush; however, the way they are painted shows off a more modern aesthetic. The backgrounds and types of borders Proctor use in these portraits share the the same effects that are offered in [Apple's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dali-x-casetify) Photobooth program. This creates a really interesting mashup effect between [paintings and technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/image-painter).
