5 Differences Between Closed Photo Booths & Open Photo Booths

Jan 17, 2017

Photo booths hold an iconic role in the American cultural landscape. Synonymous with fun experiences, spontaneous friendships, and unforgettable memories, that classic photo strip resides in many homes from sea to shining sea, pinned between a drug store magnet and the door of their refrigerator. One might say they are irreplaceable, or possibly even impossible to improve upon. Well, vintage technology aficionados, fear not, for there will always be a place for nostalgia. But objectively, what are some ways that newer, open photo booths compare with their encased, curtain-concealed predecessors? Let’s take a closer look…

1. Lighting

This might be a no-brainer. Most open photo booths include a professional lighting set up, and they are themselves placed in well-lit areas. Natural lighting anyone? Noise reduction, no awkward shadows, and no eye-glare, make these photo booth photos ready for Instagram.

By comparison, enclosed photo booths contain, at best, a built-in automatic flash that may or may not put your carefully maintained complexion in the best light. Pun intended!

2. Pressure

Maybe the 10 second countdown to 4 automated shots aids in the spontaneity of enclosed photo booths, but it also creates an unnecessary degree of pressure to get your shots just right, and even then, you don’t find out how they turned out until they print. And, if it’s a busy venue, that means getting right back in line, partner! An open photo booth, such as the standard setup for us here at The SnapBar, allows users to see a camera view on a screen directly in front of them, allowing them to frame their shots just right. No more doubting yourself. You take that selfie, and you take it right.

3. Capacity

Maybe all of your guests are couples, and maybe they are all skinny. If that’s the case, the enclosed photo booth will suffice to a point. But two, maybe three people shoehorned into a literal booth has its drawbacks. And why limit yourself? Get the whole gang into one picture, and REALLY capture the moment. For some, this might be the greatest single reason to choose an open photo booth over an enclosed one.

4. Backdrops

There’s not much comparison to be made here, as enclosed photo booths don’t have anything to offer as far as backgrounds go. But with an open photo booth, the choices are limitless! Most open photo booth companies will offer a wide variety of backdrops that you can choose from, or you can even set up your own. Don’t want to make your own, but can’t find what you want? Some photo experience companies, such as The SnapBar, will custom print your backdrop for you.

5. Props

This is a fun aspect of open photo booths and the companies that run them. Props! There are dozens of them. You can carry whatever you like into the frame. A fake mustache, a giant pair of glasses, a guitar, a piñata, a grandparent… it’s up to you! Now, no one said you can’t take props into an enclosed photo booth, but good luck squeezing that giant inflatable shark in there.

Not all Photo Booths are created equal

Not All Photo Booths are created equal

With the ever-growing popularity of photo booths.. So are the props. After all, no wedding or event is complete without them. Photo booths aren’t only fun for the guests, they’re also fun for the business owner too.

As a business owner, It’s critical to me; that I be aware of what’s hot, what’s exciting and what people want, while maintaining a professionally clean and sanitary environment.

Do you find yourself asking .. how clean and sanitary are these props ??

After traveling to local area venues, such as weddings, schools, corporate parties and charity events, all those silly props need to be cleaned.  Not only because of the entertainment they provide but more importantly, because of the memories they help produce.

Below are a few basic tips to ask, the next time you want to rent a photo booth. 

  1. Prop sanitation is a must.
    We like to use Sol-u-gard solution and wipes because of their disinfecting qualities and are all natural.  In our business, make up can easily get on masks or other props that are held close to the face.  It is vital that our accessories and staging areas be cleaned and disinfected after every event.  Sol-u-gard is my “go-to” cleaner that I trust. It’s simply the best cleaner I’ve ever used.
  2. Props that fit the theme of the event. 
    Whether you are planning a Red Carpet Affair or a Night at the Races,  having a large inventory of theme props to pick from will help make the experience unforgettable.
  3. Personalized props.
    Do you have a special theme ?  Having props that are relevant and unique to you, offer opportunities that create a whole new level of fun, for you and your guests.
  4. Prop table stay organized.
    Photo booth’s are exciting.  Often that excitement leads to props breaking while being thrown back onto a disorganized prop table.  A well organized table, makes it easier to choose which items you want to have fun and be creative with.
  5. Props that are trending in pop culture.
    You can’t throw a great event without a spectacular photo booth and props, that’s just a fact. Enjoying items that are current and relevant to the times is key to the overall experience.

 

Next time you want to rent a photo booth – Go head and ask about their props.
