Photo Booth Rental for Corporate Events in Singapore
Short answer: A photo booth works best at corporate events where guests have time to relax: annual dinners, family days, launches and conference networking sessions.
When comparing options, check:
- the booth type
- whether prints are included and how many
- whether the print frame can carry your branding
- how guests get digital copies
- how long the booth runs, and whether an attendant is included
At RS Photography, photo booths with instant prints start from S$800. Plan about 3 m × 3 m of floor space and one power point near the booth.
Written by Ricky Ee, Director of RS Photography. We run photo booths with instant prints at annual dinners, launches and corporate events in Singapore.
Why corporate events use photo booths
- Guests take something home. A printed photo with your logo stays on desks and fridges long after the event.
- It keeps guests busy during long dinner courses, breaks and networking.
- It creates content. Hundreds of fun, informal photos for internal comms and social media.
- It lifts sponsor visibility. Branded frames and backdrops put sponsors in every print.
- It brings people together. Teams who rarely meet often queue and pose together.
Types of photo booth
| Type | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Open-air booth | A camera, light and backdrop in an open space, no enclosure | Groups, larger events, branded backdrops |
| Enclosed booth | A small booth with a curtain | Small groups, a more private and playful feel |
| Roaming photographer with printer | A photographer moves around the event and prints on the spot | Cocktail receptions, networking events, VIP areas |
| GIF and boomerang booth | Short animated clips instead of, or as well as, prints | Social media-heavy events |
| 360° video booth | Guests stand on a platform while a camera circles them | Launches, youth audiences, high-energy events |
Not every vendor offers every type. Ask what is available for your date and space.
What to check before you book
- How long does the booth run? Agree on the hours, for example 3 hours during dinner, and the cost of extra time.
- Are prints unlimited? Some packages include unlimited prints during the booth hours. Others set a limit.
- Print size and layout. Common choices are a 4R print or a photo strip. Ask to see the layout.
- Branding. Can the print frame and on-screen overlay carry your logo, event name and date? Can sponsors be added?
- Backdrop and props. Is a backdrop included? Can it be branded? Are props included, and can they match your theme?
- Digital copies. Will all photos go into an online gallery? Can guests get their photo on their phone straight away?
- Attendant. Is someone there the whole time to help guests, run the printer and keep the queue moving?
- Setup time. How long before the event does the team need access?
Space, power and placement
- Space: plan about 3 m × 3 m for an open-air booth, including the backdrop, camera and a small queue area. More space is needed for large groups or a 360° booth.
- Power: one power point near the booth.
- Placement: visible, but not blocking walkways, exits or the stage. Near the bar or entrance works well. Avoid placing it next to speakers or in direct sunlight.
- Lighting: booths bring their own light, but avoid placing the backdrop against a window or bright LED wall.
Ask the venue about floor plans and power early. Ballroom layouts fill up fast.
Branding the prints
The print frame is the most visible piece of branding at many events. Good frames:
- show the logo and event name clearly without covering faces
- use brand colours that suit both dark and bright photos
- include the date, so the print becomes a keepsake
- leave space for a sponsor logo if needed
Send logo files and brand guidelines at least a week before the event, so the frame can be designed and approved.
Guest data and privacy
Some booths share photos by asking guests for an email address or phone number, or by sending them to a QR code page.
- Only collect what you need. A QR code to download the photo often works without collecting extra contact details such as email addresses or phone numbers.
- If you collect emails or numbers, tell guests what they will be used for, and don't add them to marketing lists without consent.
- Keep the online gallery private for internal events.
- Respect opt-outs. Guests choose to use the booth, but photos of other guests in the background still need care.
See our PDPA event photography consent guide.
Combining a booth with event photography
A photo booth is not a replacement for an event photographer. The booth captures guests posing for fun. The photographer captures:
- speeches and the stage programme
- awards and table photos
- candid moments
Booking both from one team means one brief, one setup plan and matching branding. See annual dinner photography for how they work together at a dinner.

FAQ
How much does a photo booth cost for a corporate event in Singapore?
At RS Photography, an instant print booth is S$800 for 2 hours, S$1,000 for 3 hours and S$250 per extra hour, with unlimited prints. Other booth types such as GIF or 360-degree video are quoted separately.
How much space does a photo booth need?
Plan about 3 by 3 metres for an open-air booth, including the backdrop, camera and a small queue area, plus one power point. Larger groups or a 360-degree booth need more space.
Can the photo booth prints carry our company logo?
Yes. The print frame and on-screen overlay can usually show your logo, event name and date, and a sponsor logo if needed. Send logo files and brand guidelines at least a week before the event.
Do guests get digital copies of photo booth pictures?
Usually yes, through an online gallery or a QR code that lets guests download their photo on their phone. A QR code avoids collecting extra contact details such as email addresses or phone numbers, though the photos themselves can still be personal data.
Do we still need a photographer if we have a photo booth?
Usually yes. The booth captures posed fun photos. A photographer captures speeches, awards, table photos and candid moments. Booking both from one team keeps the plan and branding consistent.
