LIGHT PAINTING / CUSTOM BY MARIA SAGGESE
LIGHT PAINTING PHOTO BOOTH.
A photo booth becomes a live light performance. Portraits created on site, custom by Maria Saggese, for corporate events, brands and special occasions throughout Italy.
LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR EVENT
A PORTRAIT.
A performance.
A photo booth that turns photography into a live performance. Guests are the protagonists; light is the material that creates their portrait.
Step in. Strike a pose.
Guests take their place in front of the booth, in a space with controlled lighting. Our team guides the pose: no Light Painting skills needed.
Light takes the stage.
During the exposure, light sources move around the subjects. The camera records the gesture: ribbons, trails and shapes come to life in the same photograph.
See it. Print it. Take it.
The portrait appears on screen. Depending on the agreed configuration, guests can receive a personalised print and a digital version via QR.
Each photograph needs a pose and a gesture of light. We plan the pace around the number of guests and the chosen composition.
REAL LIGHT. A PERSONAL MEMORY.
What is a Light Painting Photo Booth?
It is an event photography experience where light is physically drawn around guests during the exposure. Long-exposure photography records those movements as trails, shapes and colours in the portrait.
The booth guides the journey and displays the result. The photograph is created live: the light composition and pose are part of the experience, alongside printing and sharing where included.
Custom by Maria Saggese, designed for your brand.
Art direction begins with the brief: palette, atmosphere and shapes reflect the campaign’s identity. Light Painting for corporate events can become a meeting point at a convention, a product-launch activation or a portrait to take away after a brand event.
We also design the print graphics and guest journey. Every photograph keeps the variations of a live gesture: a shared event style with room for individual portraits.
Setup, timing and on-site support.
We assess the venue’s space and lighting together. A black 3 × 3 metre gazebo can create the dedicated area; the overall footprint must include access, circulation and guest waiting space. Power, setup and operating conditions are agreed before the event.
Our team guides guests through their pose and manages image production. Session duration depends on the group size and composition: we plan the flow and timings around the event programme.
From portrait to print, throughout Italy.
The result can become a landscape print of approximately 100 × 148 mm, with custom graphics, and a digital photograph accessed through the session gallery via QR. Formats, quantities and delivery options are defined in the proposal.
WonderBooth travels throughout Italy. For a Light Painting Photo Booth proposal, share your city, date, duration and approximate guest count. Together, we will find the format for your venue.

YOUR QUESTIONS.
Does the Light Painting Photo Booth use AI?
A Light Painting portrait is made from physical light recorded during the photographic exposure. It is one of three WonderBooth experiences: Classic, Light Painting and AI are separate modes, chosen around your event.
Does it need a completely dark space?
It needs an area with controllable light. We assess ambient lighting and setup with the venue; where appropriate, we propose the black 3 × 3 metre gazebo. The total footprint also allows for guest access and waiting space.
Is it suitable for corporate events and brand activations?
Yes. Custom creative direction by Maria Saggese can develop around the campaign’s palette and atmosphere. Prints, graphics and the guest journey are agreed with the brand or agency.
Do guests need to know how to paint with light?
No. Guests pose while our team guides the experience and creates the light gesture. Guests need to hold their position during the exposure; the composition is chosen for the audience.
How much does it cost and where is it available?
The service is available throughout Italy. The quote depends on duration, travel, guest count, setup, customisation and prints. Send us the date, city and brief for a tailored proposal.
