We’ve all seen the photo-booths at malls, where couples and teenagers give their best mugshots and walk away with a strip of pictures right on the spot. Well, what if you could take one of those booths home with you? That’s the idea behind Australia-based Photobooth, an innovative company that’s currently marketing an inflatable, portable photography booth.

According to their website, Photobooth is “the world’s first fully portable, high resolution, digital, architecturally designed, part inflatable photo-booth. Developed by two commercial photographers from Melbourne, the concept was stumbled upon when we turned a tiny room into a digital photo-booth for a studio launch party. It was an instant hit, with queues of people and around 800 shots taken by the end of the night.”

Inside the booths are an 11-mega pixel camera that captures your best moments in color or black-and-white, plus an option that lets you choose the quality of your images. All photos will then be stored online, with only subscribers to the site able to view and order prints. Images can be supplied as 72dpi web ready files, 150dpi desktop ready files or 300dpi A3+ print ready files.

Photobooth also offers a unique service for companies renting its services: branding. Each image can be tagged as it’s shot with your company’s logo, slogan or message, so that your brand is highly visible on each photograph. Or, as they put it, “so everyone knows who’s picking up the bill.” After the party’s over and all the photos have been taken, you can then keep track of who’s been viewing your pictures, the number of visits to your gallery as well as details of your subscribers.

Unfortunately Photobooth is only in Australia at the moment. So unless you’re Down Under, or until Photobooth finds a way to cross the pond, it looks like the fax machine will remain the highlight at your company parties.
