Different types of photo booths

A photo booth is one of the best ways to make any special event more memorable. They're great for all kinds of events including graduations, reunions, weddings, bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthday parties, baby showers, and even corporate and trade shows.


With a wide selection of photo booths to choose from, you may be surprised at the unique options available to you.

You may wonder which options are best for you if you are thinking of starting your own photo booth business. There are several options.


No need to worry! Take a look at the different photo booths currently available on the market to help you choose the right one for your business.


Outdoor photo booths

Outdoor photo booths are among the most popular types of photo booths, especially for large events with many people. These types of booths, as the name suggests, are open to the event space with a backdrop. You've probably seen one of these photo booths at an event, with a prop bucket next to it so guests can choose how to settle into funny poses.


Outdoor photo booths offer many benefits to business owners, including easy setup and removal. You also have more control over the setting, as you can customize the backdrop and props of the photo booth depending on the guest's theme.


Outdoor photo booths are a great option for business owners looking for an accessible and mobile photo booth to start their business.

There are several outdoor photo booths available on the market today. Below we break down the different types of outdoor photo booths.



GIF Photo Booth

A GIF is a fun, short, looped clip that is fun to share and easy to make. GIF photo booths take a few photos in quick succession to make a video, or use a boomerang to create a loop. But you don't need a GIF photo booth to achieve this fun effect.

You can use the photo booth software to create the GIF effect on your iPad photo booth. These photo booths will help keep party attendees engaged and create shareable clips that everyone can enjoy.



Mirror booths

Mirrored photo booths are disguised as full-length mirrors, so groups and individuals can easily pose together and see exactly how they will look. They're great for red carpet events or parties where your guests want Instagram- and social media-worthy photos.

These photo booths work just like any other booth, but add a touch of class and sophistication to your event. By tapping the smart mirror screen, guests can personalise their backgrounds and add stickers, emoticons and hashtags.


Business owners should keep in mind that mirrored photo booths are heavy, cumbersome and can be difficult to set up compared to other photo booth options. An easy option, such as an iPad photo booth, may be better suited to business owners looking for a simple setup.


360 Photo Booth

This is yet another example of how the photo booth is rapidly gaining popularity among photo booth renters.

A 360 degree booth uses a series of cameras in a circle (or half circle for a 180 degree effect) and takes a photo with all the cameras at the same time.

When these photos are combined into a GIF, they provide an incredible frozen image effect that will delight party-goers.


The 360-degree booths are great for parties where guests want to show off their outfits, freeze important moments like kissing or mingling, try out a dynamic new pose, or hold out for moments like confetti and flower throwing, jumping or group hugs. Although these photo booths give a unique look, they require a lot of space and can be very costly.
