How To Look Your Best In Your Wedding Photo Booth!

The beauty of pictures taken at a party, whether that is a corporate gathering, a birthday party or a wedding, is that they show an authentic, uninhibited side to people that you do not always get to see in more structured photographs.

However, the consequence of this is that the photographs themselves are at the mercy of inconsistent lighting conditions, motion blur and unfortunate shadows.

This has historically always been the appeal of photo booths; they provide perfect lighting and camera focus to allow for foolproof party photographs.

Not only was this the selling point that made them popular a century ago, but it is also the reason why they have thrived in an era of social media and camera phones.

With that in mind, here is how to capture your best side during the hustle and bustle of a party in a dedicated photo booth.

Be Candid

Part of the reason why photo booths have props and backdrops is that it leads to a host of playful angles, poses and beautifully unfiltered moments where you capture the glint of joy in someone’s or a true smile they never usually show.

Never be afraid to be yourself, as that is the core of the best pictures that will be taken of you.

If you have no props, doing silly poses, flashing the peace sign, or metal horns helps to create that flash of spontaneity that makes for great photography.

Keep Your Chin Up

Keeping your chin up is not only good advice for life, but it also helps to define your face shape and jaw, particularly if your hair colour matches your outfit.

It does not have to be completely in line with the photo booth lens; you are not taking a passport photograph after all. But raising your chin and looking up can frame your face in the best possible light.

Relax

The looser you are, the better you will look in photographs. Tense, raised shoulders, arms close to your body and locking your fingers together all show up in photo booth pictures.

Play about, laugh, loosen your shoulders and unclench your jaw. Photography is all about having fun, as that shows the true beauty in people.
