AI Meets Italian Style: How ClickBOX Photobooth Transformed Events with Darkroom Booth

How two friends turned their passion for photography into one of Italy’s most creative photo booth companies — and how AI from Darkroom Booth helped them wow corporate clients.

In the heart of Verona, Italy, where tradition and creativity blend effortlessly, ClickBOX Photobooth has built a reputation for crafting unforgettable event experiences.

Founded in 2014 by longtime friends Stefano Negrini and his partner Alberto, ClickBOX began as a garage project fueled by passion for photography and curiosity about new digital trends. Today, the company is recognized across Italy as a pioneer in photo booth entertainment — known for elegant, handcrafted wooden booths and bespoke digital experiences that bring people together.

“Our booths are made entirely by hand in wood by our master carpenter,” Stefano explains. “It’s a tribute to the charm of vintage photography and the elegance of Italian craftsmanship, fused with advanced technology.”

From romantic weddings on Lake Garda and Lake Como to high-profile brand activations for Nike, Bauli, Isuzu, and Subaru, ClickBOX delivers a perfect balance of artistry, innovation, and fun.

🎠 Always Looking for the Next “Wow”

In a world where photo booths are everywhere, Stefano and Alberto are always searching for ways to surprise guests and elevate their events. So when Darkroom Booth introduced AI photo customization, they immediately saw the creative potential.

“Artificial intelligence is the big trend of the moment, even here in Italy,” Stefano says. “It represents an extraordinary opportunity to evolve the world of the photo booth — to make every photo not just a memory, but a small piece of art.”

🎡 The Debut: A “Luna Park” Celebration

ClickBOX unveiled Darkroom’s AI feature during a corporate event in Verona celebrating a company’s 40th anniversary. The event’s theme — Luna Park — inspired Stefano to create a custom AI prompt that transformed guests into jugglers, artists, and carnival performers.

Following Eugene Wise’s Darkroom tutorial, Stefano found the setup “surprisingly simple.” Within hours, the ClickBOX team had their totem generating fully customized AI portraits that fit perfectly with the theme.

“The AI function allowed us to turn guests into the real protagonists of the Luna Park, giving life to jugglers, artists, and colorful characters in perfect harmony with the event.”

😲 Guests’ Reaction: Pure Joy

The reaction was immediate — laughter, applause, and amazement filled the room as guests saw their transformed portraits appear on-screen and in print.

“The atmosphere was one of pure wonder,” Stefano recalls. “It was wonderful to observe how technology could generate emotion and connection, transforming a simple photo into a moment of shared joy.”

One of Stefano’s favorite memories is a video of a guest bursting into laughter after seeing her printed photo — a perfect snapshot of the energy and magic ClickBOX strives to create.

⚙️ Craftsmanship Meets Innovation

For ClickBOX, adding AI isn’t just about technology — it’s about enhancing creativity and deepening emotional impact. Each AI-generated image becomes a personalized artwork, unique to every guest.

The addition of AI strengthens ClickBOX’s philosophy: blending craftsmanship, aesthetics, and innovation to create experiences that go beyond photography.

While Stefano believes AI is currently best suited for corporate and themed events, he sees great potential for weddings as the technology continues to evolve.

“With more refined and elegant styles, I believe it will eventually open up to the wedding world as well.”

🌟 The Future of the Photo Booth

ClickBOX’s story is a reminder that innovation and artistry aren’t opposites — they’re partners. From hand-built wooden booths to AI-powered portraits, Stefano and Alberto continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in photo entertainment.

For them, the magic of a photo booth has always been about more than just images — it’s about joy, connection, and creativity. And with Darkroom Booth’s AI tools, that magic just got a little brighter.
