Stereographs

See yourself in real three dimensions.

A nineteenth-century marvel, brought back to life.

Long before photographs moved, they had depth. The stereograph — a pair of nearly identical images viewed together through a stereoscope — let people see one another, and the world, in true three dimensions. We've re-created the experience with modern technology: we photograph you with a true 3-D camera, print an antique-style stereograph card on the spot, and hand it to you to view in a real stereoscope. A genuine heirloom keepsake — and it's yours to keep.

How it works

1

Sit for a portrait

Solo, couples, or your whole group — however you'd like to be remembered.

2

We print your card

An antique-style sepia stereograph card — printed and in your hands within minutes, right at the booth.

3

See it in 3-D

Look through the stereoscope and watch yourself lift off the card in real depth.

What you take home

The stereograph card
