The Tortilla 360 Booth, unlike other PBSCO booths, does not have built-in lighting. However, that doesn't mean it cannot be lit properly! Using a four-point lighting method, brightly lit, stylish captures are just a few steps away.

What To Know
Before You Start

When getting ready to light your Tortilla Booth, it is important to first set up and make sure you have enough room. The Tortilla Booth needs a Safety Diameter of 13’ (4m) measured from the center of the platform to make sure guests are safely out of range of the arm.

Likewise, lights should be set up no closer than 6” (150mm) from the Safety Diameter.
