Should A Corporate Event Consider A Traditional Photo Booth?

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a photo booth is worth more than an entire retrospective brochure of a corporate event.

What makes them so special is not only the variety of machines on offer, but the spontaneous nature of how they are used; they provide a memento of the life and soul of a particular event, capturing little moments and details that cannot always be found by a roving photographer or in staged opportunities.

However, many of these machines are relatively new, using portable, digital technologies and offering photographs in a range of digital formats or are printed on demand using more advanced methods.

Despite this, there is still a place for traditional photo booths which create photographs using more analogue methods, inspired in no small part by the revival of instant photography.

This is largely part of the same cycle that brought photo booths back into fashion in the first place.

One of the biggest advantages of digital photography is the ability to edit, adjust and retake pictures as many times as possible to make them perfect, but in an age of constant adjustments, tinkering and airbrushing reality, this is not always what people are looking for.

Photo booths showcase the beauty of unvarnished reality; they are about people embracing the opportunity to capture a moment of their life in a format that will last a very long time, if not forever. This can make them more than simply pictures of people.

Many weddings offer a service where they provide disposable or instant cameras for guests to take pictures of, and older photo booths offer a similar service albeit with more consistent lighting and developing results.

Any photo booth will provide vital and unique networking opportunities, but a traditional booth may possibly be worth the cost to create memories that will never be forgotten.
