Photo booth Hamilton
A Booth for the Hammer's Best Rooms
Hamilton has one of Ontario’s best food and arts scenes, and a photo booth in Hamilton belongs right in the middle of it. SmileMore places free walk-in booths in Hamilton venues, from James Street North to Locke Street. We run the booth and you earn a share of every session.

Why Hamilton
An arts city that loves a good souvenir
Hamilton’s nightlife is creative, local and proud. A booth fits that personality.
- Art crawl nights. James Street North fills up for the monthly art crawl. A booth turns a gallery night into something people take home.
- Hess Village weekends. Bar-hopping groups want a photo from the night, and they will pick the bar that has one.
- Game days. Ticats fans pack the bars before and after games. A booth in team colours is an easy win.
Cost to host
Nothing. We supply and service the booth.
Your share
10% to 25% of every session, deposited monthly.
The trial
The first 90 days of the 12-month term are a trial.
Where it fits
Hamilton venues that suit a booth
We are looking for bars in Hess Village and on James Street North, restaurants on Locke and Ottawa Street, breweries, entertainment venues, and campus spaces near McMaster University and Mohawk College.
Strong fits
Bars, breweries, restaurants and student hangouts near McMaster.
Peak season
Fall football season and September back to school.
Local twist
Black and gold wraps are on the table. So is your own art.

Proof, not promises
Our first campus booth: what happened at NSU
Our first booth went into the lobby of the Don Taft University Center at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, wrapped in Sharks blue. Students found it on their own, and nobody on staff has to touch it. Ontario booths run on the same program with the same service. Move-in week drove a lot of month one, so read these numbers as a strong start, not a forecast.
