Mastering the Photobooth

1. Perfecting Your Lighting

Lighting is the single most important factor in any photograph. When using Fotiva, aim for soft, even lighting. Natural light from a window is always best, but if you're taking pictures at night, try to use a soft desk lamp or a ring light to avoid harsh shadows and graininess.

2. Finding the Right Angle

Since Fotiva is an online photobooth that uses your built-in camera, the position of your device matters. For the most flattering look, place your laptop or phone at eye level. Looking slightly up toward the camera can also help define your features and open up your eyes.

3. Posing with Personality

The joy of a photobooth is the sequence! Fotiva allows you to take 3 or 4 photos in a row depending on your chosen frame. Use this to tell a story or show different sides of your personality:

• **The Classic:** Smile, Wink, Peace Sign, and Silly Face.
• **The Prop Master:** Use sunglasses, hats, or even your pet to add flavor to your session.
• **The Minimalist:** Focus on subtle head tilts and varied expressions for a high-fashion look.
• **The Duo:** Grab a friend! Photobooths are best shared.

4. Choosing the Best Frame

With over 90+ frames available on Fotiva, picking one can be tough.

• **Polaroid:** Best for a vintage, nostalgic feel. It also enables our GIF feature!
• **1x4 Strip:** Perfect for that classic 'mall photobooth' aesthetic.
• **2x3 Grid:** Ideal for showing off a high-fashion series or a group of friends.
• **Newspaper:** A unique, editorial look for when you want something different.
