An important part of any event is documenting it with pictures, whether it's with a smartphone camera or party photo booth rentals. Shelby Walsh discusses her top picks for photo booth fun, from light photo booths to Gif photo booths and even kissing booths.
At Trend Hunter's 2 Billion Views party, guests enjoyed the PartyPix mobile booth and its light painting technology. Touch-sensitive photo booths put a naughty spin on the kissing booth by only taking pictures when those inside make skin to skin contact. The shots are then printed on thermal paper. Animated Gif party photo booths are great for events because the images upload to the cloud and can be projected live. Hands-free camera apps help you take selfies without an arm or stick in sight, as you signal by raising your hand and clasping a fist.
