The Only High-Angle Photo Booth Rental in Santa Monica

Every other booth in Santa Monica shoots you dead-on. Ours shoots from above, against red or blue velvet, the way editorial photographers frame a shot. There are oh!shoot booths running right now at Santa Monica Brew Works and Mikomi Sushi. Go stand in it before you spend a dollar with us.

What a High-Angle Booth Actually Changes

A standard photo booth puts the camera at face height and a paper backdrop behind you. Everybody comes out looking the same, because the setup does the same thing to every face. oh!shoot mounts the camera above you and shoots down into a red or blue velvet curtain. That is the angle fashion and editorial shoots use, and it does two things at once: it flatters, and it makes the picture look deliberate instead of automatic.

Guests post the results. That is the part that matters for an event — a booth people photograph and share is doing marketing work all night, and a booth people use once and forget is a rental expense. Santa Monica draws brand activations and product launches, where the photo is the deliverable and a generic booth quietly wastes the budget.

Try the Booth in Santa Monica Before You Book It

This is the part almost nobody else in Los Angeles can offer. Booking a photo booth normally means choosing from a gallery of somebody else's photos and hoping. In Santa Monica, you can go and use one of ours today.

Santa Monica has two of our booths: Santa Monica Brew Works on Colorado Avenue, and Mikomi Sushi on Wilshire Boulevard. Either one shows you exactly what the rental produces.

Walk in, shoot a session, and look at what comes out. Then decide whether you want that at your event. The booth we bring to a rental is the same high-angle setup, with an attendant, unlimited sessions, and a custom frame built for your event.

11 oh!shoot booths across 5 Southern California counties. Every one is a place you can walk in and use the booth before you book anything — which is not something most booth companies can offer.

We bring the booth out to 7 counties in total, including Ventura and Santa Barbara. We have run rentals the length of San Diego County and taken the booth to Las Vegas for a brand activation. Travel outside our standard radius is quoted with your date.

Santa Monica Rental Pricing

Can I see the booth before booking?
Yes, and that is unusual — most booth companies can only show you photos. There are oh!shoot booths running right now at Santa Monica Brew Works and Mikomi Sushi. Go use it, then decide. You can also come to our Culver City studio at 3816 Main St in Culver City, open Tuesday to Sunday, 12:00 to 20:00, closed Mondays.
Do you actually travel to Santa Monica?
Yes, and there is no travel charge — Santa Monica is inside our standard radius. We already service a booth there week to week.
How do I hold a date?
A 50% deposit holds it, with the balance due seven days before the event. We only run one rental per day — there is one portable booth — so a date is genuinely gone once it is taken. We accept card and bank transfer. Corporate clients can be invoiced.
What do guests walk away with?
A physical print in hand immediately, duplicated so nobody in a group photo leaves empty-handed, plus digital JPEG and GIF files. After the event you get the complete gallery on Google Drive, so the photos are yours to post and reuse.
