Open-Air vs Enclosed
Is an open-air booth better than an enclosed booth?
Both styles work well, but the open-air photo booth is usually the best choice when you want more space, more visibility and larger group photos.
| Feature | Open-Air Photo Booth | Enclosed Photo Booth |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Weddings, birthdays, corporate events, school formals and brand activations. | Events where guests prefer a more private, classic booth feel. |
| Group photos | Better for larger groups and family photos. | Usually better for smaller groups. |
| Visibility | Guests can see the booth in action, which helps attract more people. | More hidden, which can feel private but less visible. |
| Backdrop impact | Backdrop is fully visible in the room and in the photos. | Backdrop or curtain is part of the enclosed booth look. |
| Branding | Great for logos, branded backdrops, booth wraps and campaign photos. | Can be branded, but the impact is usually less open and visible. |
| Accessibility | Easier for guests to enter, move around and pose. | Can be tighter depending on the booth style and venue space. |

Open-Air FAQ
Open-air photo booth hire Melbourne FAQs
Answers to the most common questions about open-air photo booth hire, pricing, setup space, prints, backdrops and event types.
An open-air photo booth is a photo booth setup without a closed curtain or enclosure. Guests stand in front of a backdrop, use the booth screen, take photos and collect instant prints. It is more spacious than an enclosed booth and works well for group photos.
Pixel Booth open-air photo booth hire starts from $449 for 2 hours from Monday to Thursday. Standard open-air packages start from $599 for 3 hours, $699 for 4 hours and $799 for 5 hours. Prices include GST.
Open-air booth packages include unlimited photos, unlimited printing, custom photo strip design, DSLR camera, backdrop choices, props, online gallery, setup and pack-down. Some packages also include animated GIFs.
We recommend around 2.5m x 2.5m or more where possible. This gives enough room for the booth, backdrop, printer, props table and guests posing comfortably. Smaller spaces can sometimes work depending on the venue layout.
An open-air booth is usually better for larger group photos, visibility and branded backdrops. An enclosed booth is better if you want a more private, classic booth feel. For most weddings, birthdays and corporate events, open-air is the more flexible choice.
