Question 1

Open air photo booth, what is that?"

Accepted Answer

Good question, glad you asked! An open air photo booth is like a portable photo studio, complete with a professional DSLR camera, professional studio lighting and a studio backdrop or interesting wall. Unlike the traditional shopping centre style photo booths a stack of people can fit in each photo… more people = more fun!

Question 2

So, you’re better than the average booth, why?"

Accepted Answer

Designed by a commercial photographer using professional lighting, everyone will have their best face forward. The high end gear helps things along too. Either way you can rest assured you’re getting the best photos on the market and we mean it, our photos give other booths a good whippin’.
