A photo booth that fits among the Rodins.
Norton Simon Museum at 411 W Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena houses one of the most significant private art collections in the western United States — Rodin's Burghers in the Sculpture Garden, the Galka Scheyer Pavilion's Blue Four collection, and main galleries that move between Renaissance and 20th-century holdings. The Photo Booth Guy works Norton Simon on the same conservation protocol the curatorial team applies to the collection: no adhesives, no anchoring, ambient LED only, no flash bursts. COI names the Norton Simon Foundation 30 days out.
The Glam booth's black-and-white skin-retouch profile is the canonical Norton Simon pick for Galka Scheyer Pavilion and Main Gallery receptions. The black-and-white prints match the curatorial tone of the Pavilion's Blue Four collection and the museum's general art-history register. Sculpture Garden evening events shift to the Mirror booth — Rodin's bronzes become the natural backdrop, and the booth's reflective screen pairs cleanly with the garden's evening lighting.
The Photo Booth Guy is USMC veteran-owned, founded by Andrew Cruz in 2017 on the principle that every booking is owner-overseen and every event ships with a uniformed attendant. Norton Simon events specifically get this treatment because the museum's standards demand vendor-level conservation discipline. 5,500+ events delivered. 4.9 stars across 750+ reviews. 1 in 6 of our clients rebook.
