Every guest, a cover star

Magazine Photo Booth Rental Malaysia

Last updated: 2 August 2026

The magazine photo booth is the showpiece for any event that wants a touch of glamour. Instead of a plain snapshot, each guest steps into a life-sized magazine set and walks away as the cover star of their own branded editorial. It is one of the most premium photo booth rental options for Malaysian award nights, gala dinners and product launches, capturing that high-fashion, professional-shoot feel that a standard booth cannot.

TL;DR

A magazine photo booth turns every guest into a cover star by placing them inside a life-sized, fully branded magazine cover, then printing it as an editorial-style keepsake in seconds. ShutterPop offers magazine photo booth rental throughout Malaysia, with main coverage across Peninsular Malaysia, for corporate award nights, gala dinners and fashion-forward brand events, with unlimited 4R prints, custom front-panel branding, a digital copy for every guest, and an in-house crew that handles setup and teardown.

What is a magazine photo booth?

A magazine photo booth is a premium photo setup that frames each guest inside a life-sized, custom-branded magazine cover. A DSLR camera and studio lighting capture a high-contrast editorial portrait, which prints in seconds with your event headlines and branding, plus a digital copy for every guest to share.

A magazine photo booth places guests directly inside a life-sized, branded magazine cover, complete with custom headlines and event-specific artwork that mimics a real editorial layout. The result is more than a photo, it is a premium keepsake that turns every guest into a celebrity for the evening.

Behind the scenes, a professional DSLR camera and studio-quality lighting produce a stunning, high-contrast image, while a friendly booth assistant guides guests to the perfect angle. Whether guests want a fierce high-fashion look or a fun group shot with colleagues, the cover-style frame makes every print feel like it belongs on a newsstand. If you prefer a classic tabletop setup, our instant print photo booth gives the same lab-quality prints, while the magic mirror photo booth adds a glamorous full-length experience. Every magazine print carries a custom design matched to your event, and each guest also receives a digital copy by email.

Planning where the magazine photo booth will sit is simple. We need a minimum footprint of about 3m x 3m under a sheltered or covered area, ideally near a power outlet, plus one table for setup. If a table is not available at your venue, just let us know in advance and we will make the necessary arrangements. The magazine-style structure itself measures 1.5m wide x 1.2m deep x 2m high, so allow clearance around it for guests to pose comfortably.

Our crew arrives about two hours before your start time to complete setup, and handles teardown immediately after the event, typically within around 60 minutes. In the event of adverse weather such as heavy rain, strong winds or lightning, we may apply contingency measures, relocating to a sheltered area or adjusting the setup, to keep guests and staff safe. Here is how the magazine photo booth compares to our other popular booths on space and setup:
