From weddings to birthdays and corporate events and product launches, this high-tech photo booth is becoming that unforgettable party centrepiece.

What is a 360 Photo Booth?

A Modern Spin on Event Photography

A 360 photo booth is a modern special event addition that records slow-mo, 360-degree videos of individuals positioned on a raised platform. The booth does more than snap still photos like a traditional photo booth; a rotating camera arm circles around the subject(s) to capture a cinematic video with effects such as slow motion, overlays and music.

This is for their users to experience the feeling they are looking like a movie star on the red carpet or getting into the shoes of a film scene. The output? Professional 15 – 30 second styled video that guests can download or share on social media.

How It Differs from Traditional Photo Booths

Where traditional booths take a flat image from one angle, the 360 booth adds in dimension and movement. That means you and your guests can dance, pose, even throw confetti as the camera revolves around you, which leads to a much more entertaining finished product.

Being interactive by itself, is an attention grabber, hence a 360 booth would actually belong more in the attraction category rather than utility. At the event, it becomes a social centre, attracting people in to not only watch, but also take part.
