One of the most popular photo boxes was a three-sided floral wall. Guests could take three different photos in the same spot, and the #BOLDBH hashtag was prominently displayed on each side.
Canon is hosting a pop-up photo experience for consumers through November 18 at a vacant space in SoHo. With the help of experts, the camera brand is letting guests use cameras to take photos of themselves and others at various photography setups. One station features a massive photo of the Manhattan Bridge from the street in Dumbo in Brooklyn. Using Canon technology and an app that attendees can download, a person can take a photo of themselves that is reflected onto the floor, which has a surface that creates the illusion of a puddle. Canon partnered with Grey and the Taylor Group to produce the experience.

"I've been obsessed with Alexa Meade's unconventional art since I first donned a painted hat at Refinery 29's 29Rooms, so I was thrilled to check out her first solo exhibit on the west coast. Part of Beverly Hills' BOLD Holidays events, 'Immersed in Wonderland' featured painted, three-dimensional holiday-theme vignettes. Visitors were invited to interact with the art by wearing painted clothing and accessories, sitting on couches and in chairs, and even playing at a grand piano. When photographed, it gave the appearance that they were part of the painting. Meade herself was even on-hand to live-paint models. The resulting photo keepsakes were so fun, and truly unlike anything I'd seen before." —Claire Hoffman, West Coast bureau chief
