A clear comparison
What changes when guests choose the portrait
Guests already know the familiar photo booth routine: pick up a prop, watch the countdown, pose a few times, and collect a strip. At MyPortraitBooth, each person or group starts by choosing a portrait idea.
01
What guests do
Guests choose props, pose against the event backdrop, and leave with a strip or digital file. The format is quick and familiar, so guests usually know exactly what will happen before the countdown begins.
With MyPortraitBooth, guests browse numbered ideas and choose one before posing on their own or with a group. We help with photos, check the finished portrait, show it for approval, and print a full-size 6×8 copy.
02
The finished result
A classic booth places several small photos in one event template. MyPortraitBooth creates a single full-size 6×8 portrait and prints a sleeved copy for everyone in the photo. Event branding is included, or the artwork can stay unbranded if you prefer.
03
Choice and assistance
One backdrop gives every group a similar setting. With 3,000+ custom portrait ideas, one group can choose an elegant painting while the next chooses hockey, Old Montreal, a concert stage, or something completely playful.
Guests can browse before the event, scan the QR code at the booth, use the screen at the booth, or simply tell us what they like and let us help.
04
Think about the moment you want to create
The familiar strip, props, GIFs, and quick poses still make sense for many events.
At MyPortraitBooth, choosing an idea and seeing the finished portrait are part of the fun. Both founders help with photos, check every portrait, and show it to the group for approval before printing their copies.
