When dealerships consider adding a professional vehicle photo studio, the conversation often starts with two concerns: space and price. But here’s the truth—neither of those are the real challenge.

The Achilles’ heel in most dealership setups isn’t a lack of square footage. It’s not even the investment required. The real game-changer is a 360Booth structure that prioritizes efficiency, precision, and ease of use.

The Power of the 360Booth

That’s not luck. That’s engineering, experience, and innovation working together.

No One Else Has This Technology

Starting the photo studio industry 13 years ago, There’s nothing else like it in the industry. Competitors focus on price. They focus on whether a dealership has the right amount of space. We focus on form, function and process —because that’s what truly matters.

Why It’s Not About Price or Space

And when the right structure can deliver 40 photos, Exterior and interior 306 in 6 minutes with zero wasted effort, the decision becomes simple. It’s not about cost—it’s about value.
