So you’ve stepped into one of our sleek, stylish photobooths—awesome choice. Now it’s time to make the magic happen. Whether you're going for glam, goofy, or just plain adorable, we’ve got the inside scoop on how to get the best photos possible.
Here are our top tips to help you look (and feel) like a total star in the booth:
1. 💡 Find the Light
The golden rule of any great photo? Lighting. Luckily, our booths are set up with pro lighting, but here's a quick tip:
Stand slightly forward and center—not too close to the camera, and definitely not hiding in the back. You’ll get the full glow, no shadows, and a perfect frame.
2. 🎭 Use the Props—but Don’t Let Them Use You
Props are fun (and we have lots of them), but don’t let a giant pair of sunglasses cover your whole face unless that’s the look you’re going for. Want the best of both worlds?
Choose one or two standout props, and let your personality do the rest.
Pro tip: Signs are great for posing without blocking your face.
3. 🧍♀️🧍♂️ Mind Your Pose
Classic rule: if you feel awkward, the photo might look awkward. So try this:
-
Angle your body slightly to the side (not straight-on to the camera).
-
Relax your shoulders.
-
Put your weight on one foot (instant casual cool).
-
And yes—chin slightly down, eyes to the lens = flattering magic.
4. 👯 Group Shots? Get Cozy!
The best group shots are the ones where everyone’s in the frame and having fun. So squeeze in close, stagger your heights a bit, and make sure no one’s hiding behind someone else.
Pro move: Layer yourselves diagonally and lean in—it creates a dynamic, full shot without cutting anyone out.
5. 🪩 Try a Signature Move
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel—just find a signature move or pose you can rock in every frame:
-
Peace sign ✌️
-
Pointing at your bestie
-
The “over-the-shoulder” smirk
-
Big laugh, fake scream, dramatic pout—you name it.
Consistency makes for hilarious photo strips (and great memories).
6. ⏱️ Watch the Countdown
The screen will always give you a countdown—don’t waste it! Get your pose ready early, then change it up between frames. Trust us, the best photo strips are the ones where each frame tells a different mini-story.
7. 🧼 Keep It Clear
Make sure no one’s holding drinks near the lens or blocking the camera with props. And if it’s a touchscreen booth, don’t forget to clean your hands—sticky fingers and screens don’t mix!
8. 💃 Have FUN With It!
The best photos aren’t perfect—they’re real, joyful, and a little bit silly. Don’t stress, don’t overthink it. Just go in, let loose, and enjoy the ride. The booth is your playground.
Bonus Tip: Don’t Forget to Share! 📲
After your session, grab your prints and text or email your digital copy straight from the booth. You’ll want those shots for the 'gram, trust us. Plus, we upload everything to an online gallery for even more sharing (and LOLs) later.
