Booth Option 01 · Open Air

The booth that pulls a crowd in on its own

No curtain, no coaxing. An open rig with a proper backdrop draws guests in because it looks good from across the room, not because someone's chasing them with a clipboard.

Royal Booths open air photo booth at an event Open Air Photo Booth — On Location

Most people don't refuse a photo — they refuse an awkward one. The open air booth strips out the barrier: no curtain to duck behind, no queue hidden in a corner. Guests see the lighting, see the backdrop, see three friends already laughing mid-shot, and that's the whole pitch.

It runs on a professional DSLR body rather than a webcam or tablet camera, so the files that land on your gallery hold up printed, framed or posted at full size. Pair that with continuous studio lighting and the shots stay consistent from the first guest at 6pm to the last one at midnight.

GIFs and boomerangs

Alongside stills, guests can pull an animated GIF or boomerang built for sharing straight to a story.

Strips, prints and digital shares can carry a monogram, corporate logo or event date as standard.

Why It Works

The case for the open air photo booth, beyond the spec sheet

Draws its own crowd

Visibility from across the room means the booth promotes itself — nobody has to be talked into joining the queue.

Doubles as decor

A styled backdrop becomes part of the room's visual identity, not a rented add-on bolted into a corner.

Every guest gets a takeaway

Unlimited prints mean nobody misses out because the line got long at 9pm.

Scales with corporate goals

Branded overlays turn casual photos into trackable brand impressions at expos and launches.

My guests absolutely loved this experience… I will definitely be booking for future events!

Frequently Asked

About the Open Air Photo Booth

How much space does the open air booth need? — expand answer

A clear run of roughly 3m by 3m works for the rig, backdrop and a small queuing area. Tighter venues are usually still workable — tell us the room when you enquire and we'll confirm on the spot.

Can we get a second copy of every print? — expand answer

Yes — unlimited reprints are standard, so a couple can each walk away with their own strip from the same session.

Do you supply the backdrop, or can we bring our own? — expand answer

We bring a backdrop from our range as standard, and we're glad to work with a styled backdrop you've sourced yourself if it suits your theme better.
