The Next Evolution of Social Jungle’s AI Photo Booth

At Social Jungle, we’ve always believed that experiential technology should be more than just a moment of fun. It should be immersive, creative, and capable of delivering genuine value for brands. So, it goes without saying that we’re super-excited about the latest evolution of our AI Photo Booths — an upgrade that brings together state-of-the-art artificial intelligence, rapid rendering speeds, and a level of customisation that makes the booth as powerful for marketing impact as it is exciting for guests.

This major leap forward comes from our integration of Google’s Nano Banana modelling, which we’ve rolled into our existing suite of AI models. Thanks to these advancements, our AI Photo Booths can now create ultra-realistic, personalised imagery in seconds — ideal for corporate events, brand activations, agency-led campaigns and fan experiences across Scotland, the UK, and Europe.

Making Sense of Nano Banana: What It Is and Why It Matters

For anyone not fluent in AI terminology, Nano Banana is essentially a next-generation image-generation model designed to produce incredibly realistic outputs at high speed. While the results from our existing AI models created incredible results in less then three minutes, our Nano Banana integration has allowed us to ‘level up’ the whole experience, with the ability to read facial features, textures and context, then create a refined, photorealistic version of the user in a completely new environment or style… in a matter of seconds!

If you imagine the difference between a simple Instagram filter and a full, bespoke digital artwork, Nano Banana sits firmly in the latter category. That means guests step up to the booth, take a photo, and immediately receive a polished, campaign-quality image that feels truly unique to them.

This level of realism is a game-changer for large-scale events and busy activations, where speed and output quality matter equally.

A Flexible AI Ecosystem

Nano Banana is powerful, but it’s only one part of our AI Photo Booth ecosystem. When creating bespoke experiences and events for our clients, we’re able to choose from multiple AI models, each suited to different styles, speeds and campaign requirements. This means we can tailor each event or activation with precision, whether you’re looking for playful transformations, high-end portrait styles or fully branded campaign visuals.

For example, we have some models which are incredibly fast and ideal for busy events where guests want instant results. They work brilliantly for themed templates and quick, punchy transformations. Then we have other model options, where we can create a slower but much more detailed output, perfect for premium-feeling activations or campaigns where a higher level of refinement is needed. With over 50 different AI models within our ecosystem, we’ve the ability to create and deliver all manner of AI experiences, with options for the likes of pose selection, custom backgrounds and group shots of up to five people.

Each model we’ve integrated has been added for its reliability, speed and creative flexibility, ensuring we can build an experience that suits your campaign’s tone - whether that’s playful, cinematic, polished or dynamic. And for simpler use cases, we can also provide straightforward face swapping, ideal for sports activations, mascots, film tie-ins or influencer-style content.

A Fully Branded Experience, Inside and Out

While the AI does much of the heavy lifting, the surrounding experience is just as important for engagement and brand impact. Every part of the booth journey can be fully customised, from the interface guests use to the overlays applied to their final content. This ensures your brand - or your client’s brand - is consistently front and centre.

We also offer optional gamification, bringing a sense of challenge or progression to the booth experience. Whether it’s including the likes of our Spin to Win game, layers of interactivity, such as gamification, help turn a simple photo capture into a fully realised activation.

Brands that require tangible measurement can choose to integrate data capture and event analytics, allowing the booth to double as a powerful lead-generation tool. Email addresses, marketing consent, competition entries and surveys can all be incorporated cleanly into the user journey.

For environments where space or lighting might be a challenge, our AI green screen capability removes the need for a physical backdrop, transporting guests into stadiums, branded sets, fantasy scenes or campaign worlds instantly. And beyond the digital realm, our in-house vinyl wrap service lets us fully brand the outer shell of the booth, creating an additional touchpoint and making the booth itself feel like part of the activation rather than an accessory.

Powering Sporting Events, Corporate Experiences and Brand Activations

With a huge summer of sport approaching in 2026 — from Wimbledon and the FIFA World Cup to the Commonwealth Games, in Glasgow — sports organisations and event managers can use our AI Photo Booths to deliver fan experiences that were previously impossible. Guests can see themselves transformed into professional athletes, placed into iconic sporting arenas or reimagined in branded kits with astonishing realism. The shareability of this content amplifies reach far beyond the physical event.

Marketing and advertising agencies will value the flexibility of our AI models, the speed at which we can deploy custom themes, and the ability to integrate the booth into larger experiential campaigns. Meanwhile, corporate event managers can use the booth as both a showpiece entertainment feature and a tool for capturing data, increasing engagement and creating memorable branded moments.

Across Scotland - our core territory - as well as the rest of the UK and further into Europe, we continue to position ourselves as a creative partner capable of delivering innovative, measurable and beautifully branded experiences.
