Despite only opening a little over a week ago, Lulihu Photobooth, located at 42 Ham Nghi Street, Dong Ha City, has already attracted many young people. A photobooth is simply an automated instant photo-taking service, performed in a compact booth with a minimalist background, bright white flash lighting, and extremely fast operation. In a short time, users can have a set of photos printed on the spot, both stylish and unique. This service, which was a sensation among young people about 15 years ago, is once again "hot" with upgrades and more modern features, from instant photo editing and AR/VR effects to the ability to print high-quality photos or share photos online via email and QR code.

According to Nguyen Duong Nhat Phuong, the owner of Lulihu photobooth, the appeal of photobooths lies in the spontaneous, natural photo-taking experience that doesn't require elaborate editing. Specifically, after taking a photo, users can edit it directly on the touchscreen, adding unique effects, changing colors, and even writing or drawing on the image. This allows each photo to become a unique work of art, reflecting individual style and personality. This is the key factor attracting young people, who are always looking for creative ways to express themselves.

"To attract customers, we've invested in a modern, high-definition camera system and equipped ourselves with a variety of costumes and accessories... At Lulihu photobooth, customers can freely choose cute accessories like glasses, hats, or teddy bears in the photo booth, and freely express their creativity with fun expressions and poses," Nhat Phuong revealed.

Currently, this photobooth shop receives an average of 100 customers per day, mostly young women aged 12 to 30. In addition, the shop also attracts many couples and groups of friends who come to take photos to capture beautiful memories. With affordable prices, ranging from 60,000 to 100,000 VND for two prints, customers can own high-quality printed photos, preserving memorable moments and enjoying a fun experience without needing a professional photographer.

Two friends, Bui An An and Le Nguyen Thao Nhi (born in 2013), from Dong Ha City, have become regular customers of Lulihu photobooth after visiting many times. Quickly choosing accessories displayed in the shop to take into the photo booth, An An shared: “Before, I only knew about photobooths through TikTok and really wanted to experience taking photos like this. So when we found out about this shop, we immediately came to take some commemorative photos. I like taking photos this way because it's fun and we get pictures quickly.”

Next to Thao Nhi, she added, "Taking photos is extremely simple. You just need to top up the machine, choose the frame and the number of photos you want, then pose in front of the automatic camera and you'll have beautiful photos to keep as memories. If there were more photobooth shops like this in Dong Ha City, I would still want to visit them all to have more experiences."

Currently, besides Lulihu photobooth, young people also frequently seek out this photo-taking service at Vincom Shopping Center, located at 252 Hung Vuong Street, Dong Ha City. Here, the photo booths are designed in various styles such as overhead photobooth, blue room, red room, etc., creating a comfortable atmosphere for those being photographed.

According to the staff, the most appealing feature for young people is the photobooth's integration of AR technology, allowing users to add motion effects, from cute filters to unique virtual characters, change colors and backgrounds, add text or drawings, and more. This enables photographers to freely create their favorite photos, turning each picture into a work of art with a strong personal touch and unique style.

Excitedly showing us their newly taken photos, Nguyen Bao Thang, from Dong Ha City, and his girlfriend said: "Whenever we have time, we go to photobooths to have fun and preserve memories. I can stick the photos on the wall, put them on the table, or clip them into my diary as a way to keep memorable moments for both of us."

For Le Ngoc Hoai Mi, from Cam Lo district, photobooth is a tool that helps her and her friends transform every moment into artistic photos by allowing them to customize effects, frames, and add unique stickers...

“Besides automatically printing the photos, we can also download the digital version to our phones to save or share the photos instantly on social media. I think this feature is what makes photobooths so popular right now, allowing people to easily show off their interesting moments on social media or save them as memories.”

There's no need for many staff at each photobooth because users can handle everything themselves, from choosing outfits and paying to taking photos and printing. The photobooth trend isn't unique to Quang Tri ; it's becoming increasingly popular among young people across the country due to the fun experiences it offers.

With reasonable costs and a fun atmosphere, photobooths not only help capture memorable moments but also bring joy and connection among friends.
