In the early ’90s, celebrities ducked into photobooth strips at malls, backstage parties, record-label events, and after-hours hangouts, leaving behind ink-dark frames of smirks, peace signs, and inside jokes.

This gallery pulls together 20 early-’90s photobooth pictures that feel like time capsules. It’s candid, grainy, and gloriously unvarnished, which proves that fame still fits in a two-inch strip.
