What is a glam photo booth?

A glam booth applies a signature black-and-white edit with a skin-smoothing retouch to every frame, producing the soft, high-contrast look associated with red-carpet portraits. The effect is applied live, so guests see the finished image seconds after the shutter fires.

It is the booth to choose when the event is dressy and you want the photos to match — a black-tie wedding, a gala, a milestone birthday where everyone made an effort.

Why the lighting matters more than the filter

The glam look is not really a filter — it is lighting. We run studio-powered lighting so skin tones render evenly and the black-and-white conversion has real depth rather than looking washed out. A retouch applied over a badly lit photo still looks like a badly lit photo.

Guests get unlimited prints and instant digital delivery like any other booth, with the glam edit applied to both the print and the shared file.

Glam booth prints and sharing

Prints come out as dry 4x6s in seconds from a dye-sublimation printer, so there is no smudging and no waiting around. Guests also get the digital file straight to their phone by text, email or QR code, plus access to the full online gallery afterwards.

Your print template is custom-designed — for the glam booth we usually recommend keeping it minimal, since a heavy overlay fights the look.

Magic Mirror Brooklyn is Absolutely the BEST thing we added to our wedding reception! People were still talking about how much FUN they had 2 weeks after, they LOVED Vallon and his crew who made everything so much FUN, the keepsake photos were Hilarious & guests stayed WAY later than they would have because we had this UNIQUE booth! Typical photobooths have NOTHING on this Mirror. If I could give a 10 star rating..I would!

Selly & Sherwin

Magic Mirror Brooklyn was incredibly professional and friendly upon booking online, particularly in regards to the rental of the Mirror photo-booth. They worked tirelessly to pull off our vision and went above and beyond throughout the process. On event day, they were professional and had wonderful interactions with each guest who came to get their picture taken.

Sasha & Gladstone

It was a pleasure doing business with Valen. He was very polite, professional and very accommodating. Him and his assistant had very good energy and kept all of our guests having fun. The table with accessories was kept neat and organized the whole evening. The booth was a big hit in my event! Would definitely hire this company again.

Questions

Glam Booth FAQ

Can we have color photos as well as black and white?

Yes. The glam edit is the signature look, but the booth can be set to output color, black and white, or let guests choose per session.

Is the skin-smoothing adjustable?

It is. We can dial the retouch up for a full editorial look or keep it subtle so people still look like themselves. Tell us your preference and we will set it before guests arrive.

How much does a photo booth rental cost in NYC?

Pricing depends on which booth you choose, how many hours you need, and where your venue is. Every quote is built for your specific event rather than pulled off a rate card, so the fastest way to a real number is the quote form — it takes about 30 seconds. Additional hours beyond your booked time are $125 per hour.

Is an attendant included with the photo booth rental?

Yes. A trained attendant runs every booth for the full length of your rental — setting up, keeping the prop table organized, helping guests, and packing down afterward. You never have to assign someone from your own team to look after the booth.

How much space does the booth need?

Optimal setup is 10ft x 10ft, which leaves room for the backdrop, prop table and a red carpet. We can compress into a smaller footprint when a venue is tight — the minimum is 8ft x 8ft with 7.5ft of ceiling clearance. We also need a standard 110V, 5-amp, 3-prong outlet within 15 feet of the booth.

How long does setup take?

About 20 minutes from the moment we walk in until we are taking the first picture. We arrive a full hour before your scheduled start time so everything is tested and ready. If you need us on site earlier than that, idle time is $150 per hour.

Do you carry insurance and can you provide a COI for my venue?

Yes. We carry a $3 million insurance policy. If your venue needs a certificate of insurance naming them as additionally insured, reply to your booking confirmation with their contact email and we will send it over.

What's the difference between the glam booth and the studio booth?

Both use studio-quality lighting and a pro DSLR, but the output is different. The glam booth applies a signature black-and-white, skin-smoothing edit to every frame — a consistent, red-carpet look. The studio booth shoots color portraits, GIFs and short video with creative lighting setups, closer to a flexible portrait session than one fixed style. Choose glam when you want every photo to match; choose studio when you want more variety in the output.

Can the glam booth be set up outdoors?

Yes, with a level, dry, covered space. Because the look depends on studio-powered lighting rather than ambient light, we can maintain the same black-and-white edit outdoors as indoors as long as the site is sheltered from wind and rain — we'll confirm the details with you before booking.

Can we still add names, a date or a logo to the glam booth prints?

Yes, though we usually recommend keeping the overlay minimal — a name and date in a simple typeface, or a small logo mark — since a heavy overlay competes with the black-and-white look. Tell us what you'd like and we'll design a template that doesn't fight the photo.

Does the glam booth produce GIFs or video, or is it stills only?

The glam booth is a stills booth — every session captures dry 4x6 prints and a digital copy with the signature black-and-white edit applied. If you want video or GIFs alongside it, we can pair it with our GIF booth or vogue booth at the same event.
