Since April, we have been been providing Virtual Photo Booths for clients around the world with thousands of photos taken. Some events have been huge and some were for a smaller audience. In general, these five tips can be applied to all:


  • 1: Encourage your guests to use their smartphones instead of a computer webcam. Camera resolutions keep improving with each new smartphone model rivaling that of DSLR cameras. The best way to achieve this is by posting a QR code graphic during the event for guests to point their cameras at.

  • 2: Offer several fun virtual photo experiences such as Photos, GIFs and Boomerangs, instead of just one. Let your guests "own" their experience.

  • 3: Along with offering multiple photo experiences, offer choices of overlays and backgrounds. Let your guests design their experience.

  • 4: Include the ability to add other people to the main photo (photo avatars). We have seen some incredibly creative results using avatars.

  • 5: Offer prizes for the best photo or random prizes for using your virtual photo booth. The events with the largest guest participation have been when prizes have been awarded. Use a Scratch & Win mode for random winners or ask guests to upload to social media with a hashtag and you decide the winner.


Virtual Photo Booths have proven to be both popular and a great way to add a bit of fun to any event. These five tips will help make it an even better experience.
