How to Choose Between a Standard and 360 Photo Booth

"Photo booths are no longer just a fun add-on at events; they’re an expectation. They give your guests something interactive, visual, and personal to take home (or post online). But if you're planning an event and are torn between a standard photo booth or a 360 photo booth, you're not alone.

At Elite Lighting Concepts, we offer both, and we know each one creates a totally different experience. Here’s how to decide which one is right for your event:

🎞️ standard photo booth: classic, simple, and fun

A standard booth is your go-to if you’re looking for a crowd-pleasing favorite that’s fast, easy, and familiar. Think backdrop + camera + props = instant photo fun.

Why go standard?

✅ Prints or digital downloads

✅ Great for all ages

✅ Easy flow for large crowds

✅ Quick setup, minimal space

Perfect for:

• School dances

• Weddings

• Fundraisers

• Birthday parties

• Family events

  
  

👉 ELC Add-ons: Branded overlays, custom backdrops, themed props, and instant text-to-phone delivery.

📸 360 photo booth: high-energy, modern, and viral

If you’re going for a wow moment, the 360 booth is the showstopper. Guests stand on a platform while a camera arm circles them, capturing slow-motion video clips from every angle. Think red carpet energy meets social media buzz.

Why go 360?

🚨 Major “WOW” factor

🎥 Instantly shareable videos

📲 Social-media friendly

🎶 Custom music and overlays

💃 Makes guests feel like VIPs

Perfect for:

• Corporate parties

• Brand launches

• Graduations

• Proms & homecomings

• Content-savvy audiences

  
  

👉 ELC Perks: Custom overlays, lighting branded to your event, branded intros/outros, and optional lighting packages to elevate the entire setup.

💡 so… which one is right for you?

Standard Booth	A fast, easy crowd-pleaser with printed or digital photos
360 Booth	A high-energy experience and viral content
