Photo Booths Near Me in Los Angeles
57 mapped locations across LA, grouped by area
The nearest photo booth to you in Los Angeles depends on which side of the city you are on, so this page is grouped by area rather than by name. 57 public booths are currently mapped across LA, concentrated on the Eastside along Sunset Boulevard through Echo Park and Silver Lake, in Hollywood and West Hollywood, in Northeast LA along York and Eagle Rock Boulevards, and in Downtown and the Arts District. Nearly all are analog chemical machines that take three to four minutes to develop, usually cost about $3 to $5, and take cash rather than cards.

Photo Booths Near You, by LA Area
Los Angeles is 500 square miles, so “near me” only means something once you pick a side of the city. Each card jumps to that area’s listings further down the page; where we hold a full neighborhood guide, it links there too.
Hollywood, West Hollywood & Mid-City
Hotel and bar machines along Hollywood Boulevard and the Sunset Strip — the Hollywood Roosevelt and its Spare Room, the Mel’s Drive-In booth, Harriet’s Rooftop in West Hollywood — plus the Melrose, La Brea and Santa Monica Boulevard venues running east into Mid-City.
Highland Park, Eagle Rock & Northeast LA
The York Boulevard bars in Highland Park, the Eagle Rock Boulevard and Colorado Boulevard run through Eagle Rock, and the Glassell Park and Glendale venues just over the hill — a compact, genuinely walkable set once you are up here.
Silver Lake, Echo Park & Los Feliz
The densest photo booth corridor in Los Angeles, running along Sunset Boulevard from Echo Park Avenue through Sunset Junction. The Photo Booth Museum on West Sunset anchors it, with the Short Stop, the Satellite, Cha Cha Lounge and the Hillhurst Avenue venues in Los Feliz filling in around it.
Downtown LA & the Arts District
Historic Core and Arts District machines: the Ace Hotel on South Broadway, the Downtown Standard on Flower Street, the 1st and 2nd Street venues east of Little Tokyo, the Industrial Street warehouses, and the Union Station and Philippe the Original booths on North Alameda.
Koreatown & Wilshire Center
K-Town keeps its own hours — many venues run past 2am, which makes it the most reliable late-night booth neighborhood in the city. Expect a mix of Korean-style digital machines and genuine analog cabinets along Western and Vermont.
Venice, Culver City & the Westside
Thinner coverage than the Eastside but worth the drive if you are already out here: the Culver Boulevard venues in Culver City, the West Pico corridor, and the Abbot Kinney and boardwalk machines in Venice.

What an LA Photo Booth Costs — and How to Pay
Bring cash
Effectively every Los Angeles booth we hold payment data for takes cash, and exactly one is recorded as taking cards. Most of these machines are in bars, so the reliable move is to buy a drink and ask for singles and quarters.
Expect $3–$5
Where a real price is recorded, $3 for a four-pose black-and-white strip is the common figure, with hotel and rooftop machines running to $5. Many LA records say only to check the machine, so the figure on a listing is a guide, not a quote.
Wait three minutes
Chemical booths dip the paper through developer and fixer before dropping the strip in the tray — three to four minutes after the last flash. Don’t walk off; strips get taken. Instant prints mean you were in a digital machine.
Getting to a Booth Near You in LA
Distance in Los Angeles is measured in minutes, not miles. A booth eight miles away on the Eastside may be closer in practice than one three miles away across the 101 at 6pm. The realistic plan is to pick the area you are already in and work it, rather than driving to a specific machine.
Walkable runs
Sunset Boulevard between Echo Park Avenue and Sunset Junction, York Boulevard in Highland Park, and the Arts District blocks east of Little Tokyo each hold several booths within walking distance of each other.
By Metro
The B Line serves Hollywood and Koreatown; the A Line reaches Highland Park, Chinatown and Downtown, including the Union Station booth. The Eastside corridor through Silver Lake and Echo Park is bus-and-walk rather than rail.
Parking
Street parking in Silver Lake, Echo Park and Highland Park, and it tightens after 8pm — posted restrictions are enforced. Downtown and Hollywood are paid-lot or rideshare territory.

Analog Booths vs the Digital Ones You’ll Also Find in LA
Searching for a photo booth near you in Los Angeles returns two different machines. The booths in this directory are photochemical: a cabinet with a curtain and a stool that exposes real photographic paper, develops it wet, and hands you a four-frame strip you cannot reproduce. The other kind — common at event venues, in Koreatown, and in the Korean-style booths marketed as photo studios — is digital, prints in seconds on dye-sublimation paper, and lets you retake shots.
Neither is wrong, but they are not substitutes. If you specifically want the analog strip, use the list above and check the machine badge on each card; anything marked Digital prints instantly. If you need a passport or visa photo, neither will do — that requires a compliant kiosk or a pharmacy photo counter.
Frequently Asked Questions about Los Angeles Photo Booths
Where is the nearest photo booth to me in Los Angeles?
It depends which side of the city you are on, which is why the list on this page is grouped by area rather than alphabetically. If you are on the Eastside, the densest cluster is the Sunset Boulevard corridor through Echo Park and Silver Lake. In Hollywood or West Hollywood, work the Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Strip venues. Downtown, the booths sit in the Arts District and the Broadway and 7th Street bars. For a booth ranked by actual distance from your current position, use the geolocated proximity finder rather than this page.
Are there analog photo booths near me in LA, or only digital ones?
Both, and the difference matters. The machines in this directory are photochemical: they expose real photographic paper, develop it wet, and hand you a four-frame strip about three to four minutes later. LA also has a large number of modern digital booths at event venues and in Koreatown that print instantly on dye-sublimation paper. If your strip arrives in under a minute, you were in a digital machine.
How many photo booths are there in Los Angeles?
Booth Beacon maps 50+ photo booth venues across the City of Los Angeles and the immediately adjacent cities we file under it, such as Culver City, West Hollywood and Glendale. The count on this page is generated live from those records; the great majority are reported operational.
Which LA neighborhood has the most photo booths?
The Eastside, by a clear margin. Silver Lake, Echo Park and Los Feliz together hold roughly a third of every booth we map in the city, largely along Sunset Boulevard between Echo Park Avenue and Sunset Junction, with the Photo Booth Museum on West Sunset as the anchor. After that it is close: Hollywood and West Hollywood, Downtown and the Arts District, and Northeast LA along York and Eagle Rock Boulevards each hold a similar number.
How much does a photo booth strip cost in Los Angeles?
Where we hold a real price, the common figure is $3 for a four-pose black-and-white strip, with bar and hotel machines running to $5. Pricing is the field venues change most often and many of our LA records simply say to check the machine, so treat any figure on a listing as a guide rather than a quote.
Do LA photo booths take cards, or do I need cash?
Bring cash. Of the Los Angeles booths we hold payment data for, effectively all are coin- or bill-operated and only a single record is marked as accepting cards. Most of these machines live in bars, so the practical fallback is to buy something at the bar and ask for singles and quarters.
Can I walk between photo booths in Los Angeles?
Within a neighborhood, yes. The Sunset Boulevard strip through Echo Park and Silver Lake, the York Boulevard run in Highland Park, and the Arts District blocks downtown are all walkable enough to hit several booths in an afternoon. Between neighborhoods, no — Venice to Highland Park is an hour in traffic. Plan a booth crawl inside one area rather than across the city.
Are photo booths near me in LA open right now?
Booth access follows the host venue, not the machine. Most LA booths are in bars and music venues, which means evening and late-night access and very little daytime availability. Record shops, vintage stores and the Photo Booth Museum are the daytime options. Check the venue hours on the individual booth page before you drive.
Is there parking near LA photo booths?
Mostly street parking, and it varies sharply by area. Downtown and Hollywood venues are best reached by paid lot or rideshare. Silver Lake, Echo Park and Highland Park are street-parking neighborhoods where evenings get tight — read the posted restrictions, which are enforced. The Metro B Line reaches Hollywood and the A Line reaches Highland Park and Downtown if you would rather not drive.
Can I use an LA photo booth for passport photos?
Not the analog ones. US passport photos need a compliant digital kiosk or a pharmacy photo counter. The chemical booths listed here produce a four-frame keepsake strip on photographic paper, which is not accepted for official documents.
Do I need to book a photo booth in Los Angeles?
No. Every booth in this directory is a walk-up public machine inside a venue — you show up, pay and shoot. Booking applies only to event-hire booths, which are a different product and are not listed here.
Which is the most famous photo booth in Los Angeles?
The Photo Booth Museum on West Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake is the best-known destination among LA analog enthusiasts, and is the only venue in the city built around the machines themselves rather than housing one incidentally. The long-running Short Stop booth in Echo Park and the machines at the Hollywood Roosevelt are the other landmarks.
