When we have a conventional photograph taken we pose for the
photographer. We only see the person who is taking the picture and
we are reacting to them. In a Photo Booth, no matter how many people
are in there with you, you are often looking at a reflection of
yourself and that is whom you are posing for. It is for this reason
that the true mood of the moment is reflected in the picture and why
we feel free to mess around and enjoy ourselves.
Although commercial photo booths have been around since the 1920's, the 1950's saw an explosion in the popularity of photobooth business.
During the Second World War they were popular but not widely available. They did produce some of the most iconic photographs of the time. One photograph from 1944 with the inscription ‘the day before he left’ tells us more about the impact of war then many highbrow tomes written by socio-economic experts. In almost every home in the country there is a strip of photographs with ‘the day we got engaged’, ‘on honeymoon’ or ‘our first date’ written on the back. Even Jackie and John F. Kennedy climbed into a photo booth during their honeymoon in 1953!
Andy Warhol used photo booths to inspire some of his greatest works of art. John Lennon and Yoko Ono used a strip of photo booth pictures to promote an album.
Now you can have a Photo Booth at all your milestone occasions, celebrations and red-letter days. If you want to capture the true spirit of the event you need to allow your guests to ‘show the camera’ what they really feel. Formal photography will allow you to show off the dress, the hair, the setting. A photo booth will allow you to show off the emotion. If you are planning any get together or occasion you should take a look at just how easy it is to add a fun twist to the event and give everyone a record to take home with them. Renting a photo booth from AAA Photo Booth.com, to begin your business, will cost you a lot less than you think and the effect is priceless.
