The Resurrection Of Photo Booths

By Samantha Breen


It may come as a surprise to many people to learn that the photo booth is making a comeback, even in an age where a camera is no longer considered a luxury item. While mobile phones and laptops have their own built-in cameras, and the vast majority of people have one of these, the photographic booth is enjoying a rise in popularity.

It is all the harder to comprehend when you take into account that there is no longer any need to send photos off for development. When people take a photo on a digital camera or a phone, they can review the image immediately. They can instantly share these photos with their friends anywhere around the globe by uploading the images to their favourite social network.

There is no need to wait days or weeks for processing companies to return the developed photos. There is no need to fork out extra cash to have films developed on the same day. And gone are the days when processing companies lost the film and left the photographer with no record of the special event.

When people had to rely on photo processing services, it was clear what the attraction of photo booth was. They were relatively inexpensive to use, and they delivered the images within a few minutes. People needed no photographic skills to use them. The booths were a great way to get a handful of photos of a special occasion.

So it is difficult to work out why the popularity of booths is on the increase. It would appear that a lot of people think piling into a booth to get a photo taken is great fun. Recognizing the growth in popularity of these booths, a lot of businesses are now offering to rent them out.

Portable booths work almost exactly like traditional static booths. People get their photo taken by stepping into the booth and posing. Portable booths do have some differences. When using a static booth, people could pull a curtain around at the back, or they could pose in front of the booth wall, so their choice of background was limited to these two options. With the new photographic booths, there are other alternatives.

Rented booths are offered with a choice of themes. You might want to opt for a wedding photo booth or choose from other themes. All the strips of pictures taken will be printed out with a special message connected with the event. You do not have to worry about how the booth operates, because there will be an assistant there to do everything.

You also have the option to have a video message recorded. Most often, this facility is used when all the attendees at the event gather round to deliver a message to the host. All the photos taken can be recorded permanently on to a DVD or a USB stick so that you will have a permanent record of the special occasion. Most booth renters will also give you the option to have an album created of the event.

Booths are usually rented out for a specified time period. You will need to check rates with the renter. You may have to pay extra for specific times of the week, such as late evenings or weekends.
