The Telegraph reports that Topshop has installed a self-photography studio at its flagship store at London's Oxford Circus. Interestingly, this "Photo Machine", which allows you to check your pose in a 6ft mirror before taking a snap, is the original 1970s invention of Helmut Newton - except the camera is now digital, allowing you to walk away with an instant printout.
