Action with the 360-degree camera! The spinning arm and not knowing what to do while on the platform may intimidate guests who have never used a 360-degree rotating photo booth. After all, modern photo booth technology captures movement instead of just still images. However, the action also brings with it a lot of potential!
Feel free to reassure guests who appear timid or uncertain by jumping up onto the platform base and giving them some ideas. Show them how and where the spinning arm rotates around the platform base and how they can dance, use props, and follow the camera with their eyes — there are many different ways they can pose and express themselves. Here are five awesome photo ideas that attendees can try out at your upcoming event.
- Use signs and props to be silly and creative.
If in doubt, use props to elicit responses from shy visitors. Holding a silly prop, such as a fancy top hat, large beer glasses, moustache, cardboard wig, money gun, or funny signage, such as “my squad,” “I came for the cake,” “bride to be,” etc. is a specific pose when using a 360 photo booth.
Consider including a package where customers can request custom signage in your list of services to boost your profits. This could be anything from a “Happy Birthday, Ivy!” sign to a couple’s wedding hashtag to the names of the would-be bride and groom and their wedding date. DIY your signs if you’re crafty. If you need to be more crafty, check out your neighbourhood party supply shop or hire a local maker to make your signs. Amass is a collection of signage, accessories, and props that enhance the experiences of visitors.
- Make a quick dance move for the camera.
Dancing is always a good idea because the rotating camera booth captures movement and creates an animated and energizing GIF photo. On a 360 photo booth rental platform, all poses are acceptable, including the running man, the disco finger, impressive shoulder movements, arms raised high, and rhythmic wiggling. Make sure your photo booth is placed close to the area where the music is bumping.
- Cheers to fun times!
The traditional toast is another go-to pose that looks good without movement and is incredible when taken with a spinning camera booth. Raising your glasses in the air is the epitome of celebration. Because different models of Spin A Booth have different-sized platform bases, guests can stand back-to-back, in a line, or in two lines. Then, as the camera spins around them, they can toast, nod, wink, etc., to the camera.
- Funny and weird expression
You can make funny and weird expressions to make the pictures fun and catchy. For example, show off your best impression of a duck lip by puckering your lips. It’s entertaining to recreate images like these that you’ve seen all over social media. Giving the world your kisses is always a lovely decision. Additionally, you could always use an image like that to send a special someone a kiss! Your face is your best tool when in doubt. Experiment with various facial expressions. Even feeling afraid can be enjoyable. You can be anyone you want, even a nerd without any props! Allow yourself to perform some improv for the camera.
- Make a back-to-back pose.
Back-to-back, too-cool-for-school poses are timeless and stylish poses that look their best when captured by a 360 photo booth. Couples or even groups of three or four people can stand side by side, arms crossed, gazing off into the distance or appearing to be profoundly contemplating something. People typically don’t smile for these more “serious” shots, but the results are always delightful. Invite visitors to strike eye contact with the camera while it is focused on them for greater intensity.
Any of these adorable photo booth poses would look great in your photo collection.
But try them all, not just one! You and your guests have unrestricted use of the photo booth for the duration of the rental period when you rent one from Photobooth Rocks! We also include a backdrop, props, and an attendant to elevate your party.
