At the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Australia, V Energy Drink set up the 'Mardi Gras Photobooth' on the street.
While the kiosk looks deceptively like a regular photo booth, the branded station provides: "The fabulous hit that improves you a bit." As such, when groups of people huddled together to have their photo taken, they received anything but an ordinary printout. Although the photo booth itself features no props or costumes, the finished printouts were adorned with colorful wigs and other accessories to celebrate Mardi Gras.
Since this photo booth is completely unmanned, it makes sense for there not to be any props left unattended on the street. But since the props can be digitally added after a photo is taken, this kind of photo booth has the potential to be used for a wide range of events and celebrations.
