We just picked up a pair of studio lighting for our photo booth and I must say it does wonders for pictures!

These were all taken with an iPhone 7 Plus using Portrait Mode.

I'm guessing you got a couple of soft-lights (or soft-boxes as they're also called), they're useful for all kinds of photography and videography... :)

what type of lighting did you use?

We already had the box, but I upgraded our lighting to these:

Continuous-Lighting-4-Socket-Softboxes-Photography

I am using standard LED lights ($0.50 ea, Canadian Tire), but the colour temp is a little low (too much yellow).

Very nice pictures. Nice looking phone also. What box are you using?

I'm unsure of the make. Its pretty old, I would say around 7 or 8 years old. I will snap a pic of our rig and post it.

I use our electrical closet, since its the only room we have with no windows. Our rig consists of two soft-boxes on stands, one on either side and a downward firing light on top. With this set up it basically eliminates all shadows.

I use a similar soft box and have lights positioned the same as yours, but I'm using cheap incandescent bulbs.  I may just have to upgrade to a couple of those light boxes.  Very nice.

If you're willing to wait a few weeks, Banggood has a few options for reasonably affordable softboxes:
