Photo booths have become a popular feature in weddings, parties, and large-scale entertainment events. Guests can enjoy and reminisce about memorable moments in the photo booth, whether they're wearing wigs, masks, or holding signs.

However, in the ever-evolving landscape of event photography planning, two contenders have garnered significant attention —— the age-old traditional photo booth and the cutting-edge 360 photo booth.

So, how does the 360 photo booth stack up against the traditional counterpart? This blog post is here to uncover the differences and provide you with the details.

一、360 photo booth

The 360 photo booth is a groundbreaking photography device designed to capture users' thrilling moments from diverse perspectives. As users stand on the platform, high-definition cameras and a mobile pole work in tandem to capture seamless, all-encompassing videos through rotation.

360 photo booths typically accommodate 3-10 people, adding a playful touch to your party events. Users can invite friends to stand on the platform, dance, and capture amusing videos from different angles.

二、Traditional photo booth

The traditional photo booth evokes a sense of nostalgia and stands as a classic element in photography events. It's particularly friendly for those who may not be quick to embrace new things.

What sets the traditional photo booth apart is its nostalgic appearance and straightforward operation. Users step into the booth, draw the curtain, and start capturing moments at random.
