Photo Booth originated when Lewis Helfand, a prolific writer, approached the Novel Graphic Campfire with the idea of ​​an Indian romance story made in New York. The plot contains two time zones, one of which is set in 2010 and another set in 1990. This flashback method fits the style of the popular story used in the Indian epic known as The Mahabharata Chandni Chowk to China and Kismat Konnection . According to Lewis Helfand, the graphic novel format is as powerful as movies and music: "Graphical novels are just different media, different ways of telling a story.Just like you can get lost in a song or a great movie, graphic novels can capture your imagination in a way the same one. "
