Photo Booths Get A New Lease Of Life

By Samantha Breen


In an age when cameras are no longer a luxury item, it may come as a surprise to know that the photo booth is making a comeback. 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.

People no longer have to send films away for processing, and this makes it even harder to understand why the booth is growing in popularity. People are instantly able to review the images they take on their mobile phone or their digital cameras. 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 pay through the nose for same day development. Best of all, people are no longer faced with the problem of losing all the photos taken at a special event when the processing service loses the film.

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.

Bearing in mind how easy getting photos is now, it is difficult to see why people would choose a booth. For whatever reason, people seem to think that there is more fun to be had piling into a booth for a photo. Many businesses are capitalizing on this resurgent popularity and hiring out portable booths.

Portable booths work almost exactly like traditional static booths. You step into the booth, pose, and get your photo taken. 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. The new photographic booths are more versatile.

If you decide to rent a booth, you can pick from a number of themes. You might want to opt for a wedding photo booth or choose from other themes. When the photo strips are printed out, each one comes with a message related to 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. One of the most popular uses for this facility is when all the guests record their special message to the host on video. 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. Your rental company will usually be able to provide you with a printed album of the photos as well.

The booths can be hired for a set number of hours. Your rental company will be able to confirm rental prices. Many rental companies will charge an additional fee if the booth is hired for a late evening event or at a weekend.
