The best ways to Create A Simple Photo Booth

A little disclaimer: there is most likely no single best way to setup an image booth. I've seen a variety of awesome setups all producing fantastic shots, so feel complimentary to adapt these guidelines to your taste!

The Setup

1. The Lights

We used a single AlienBee 800 placed right next to the electronic camera in order to lower shadows. We bounced the light out of a white umbrella. AlienBees are some of the most budget-friendly lights on the marketplace and I feel it worked outstandingly for the booth.

2. The Background

Our beautiful couple provided the amazing background. It was fabric they had bought from an outlet. They had produced a rather sophisticated PVC structure to hold the material, but you might simply as easily tape fabric or paper to the wall. Remarkably, you require much less material or paper than you would think. I believe you would be more than safe with a location covering about 5 feet high and about 8-10 feet wide. If you're very fancy, white seamless paper on an appropriate stand would be really beautiful. I 'd suggest trying this out prior to investing a lot on gear however, because you can do it extremely merely! Borrowing or renting paper and a stand are other alternatives.

3. The Triggers

We used PocketWizards to sync the cam and the light, but considering that you just require one light and it's very near the video camera you might quickly simply utilize the totally free sync cord that has the light.

4. The Camera & Settings

The video camera was a Canon 5D on a tripod set to shoot big JPEGS (I didn't want to process all the RAW files!). We set our shutter at 1/200 (can't sync the light faster than that). The aperture was set at f/5.0 in order to get bigger groups in focus. Aperture was set to 125 ISO, and the light was set to practically it's least expensive setting. We likewise set the cam to all points focus, in order to hopefully maximize the sharp shots provided that lots of people would remain in the shots and not all standing on the appropriately marked X.:P.

5. The Lens.

Surprisingly we used a 50mm lens. I believed we would require a larger lens but the 50 simply perfectly covered the amount of material background. If you had a larger background utilizing a larger lens, shooting from farther away, or shooting vertically would all be intriguing choices to experiment with.

6. The Remote.

I believe this is a quite great part of the image booth. You could try to man the booth yourself, however I think you 'd get extremely different photos from the ones they would take themselves.

7. The Instructions.

It's useful to have some guidelines printed out explaining exactly what people should do. Our couple had a register that invited guests to grab a pal. I would most likely also include where to stand, where to look (yes, some individuals took a look at the light, not the cam) and how to utilize the remote. All simple things, however very useful!

8. The Props.

Props and costumes are part of the fun! Have a box next to the booth filled with things from the dollar shop and you cannot go wrong.

The Details.

, if you can swing it bring an extra remote.. It would suck to have the remote break half method through the shoot!

Ensure you bring extension cables, you never ever understand how far the outlet could be.

Bring gaffers tape to tape down cords, and masking tape to define where people must stand.

You might wish to change your camera to single shot mode. Or minimized burst mode. For some reason individuals like to hold the button down and then you end up with a lot of less-than-funny, usually-unflattering images.

If you can, bring your tripod and light stand in a bag, and bring your lights, extension cables, and cables in a large lidded bin. It makes take down and setup pretty quick.

Aim to setup your image booth near and even on the dance floor. Because of this, I think there was a lot more traffic through the booth.

Put a "Please Do Not Touch" indication on the back of the camera. A lot of visitors desire to see the image, however the camera will invariably get bumped and the settings will get altered if they're all over it. Examine back often to make sure everything is setup effectively (and framed correctly).

Next Time.

Since this was our very first photo-booth there are a lot of things that we would do differently next time. These are untested ideas!

Potentially setup a monitor to permit guests to evaluate images. Despite the fact that guests kept knocking the tripod, and disregarding the Do Not Touch indication they loved seeing the pictures of themselves. Seeing the images is clearly a vital part of the experience. I'm unsure precisely how we would do this, if we would plug a monitor into the electronic camera (which you can do) or shoot tethered into Lightroom, and have the images instantly enter into a slideshow.

Another alternative I know other professional photographers do is make prints readily available immediately. I personally believe this is too much work (either figuring out how to automate everything and setup a printer, or hiring someone to man a booth (which has it's own draw backs)).

While it would be amazing to obtain a print into the hands of every photo booth visitor I think the much better alternative is to have cards available with information for where they can view and download/purchase the photos online. We're providing the complete set of hi-res jpegs to the couple, however it may be tough for guests to quickly get the shots. In the future I would attempt to make web resolution images available online for sharing as quickly as possible (fantastic marketing potential by means of Instagram/ Facebook photos!). This also means that they have to visit your site! Double fantastic marketing!

I might invest some more time considering more props and costumes. I don't believe they need to be extremely sophisticated, just more choices. It's enjoyable to get variety in the pictures, as well as to see how your visitors creatively utilize the props. I think virtually all the props got used!

A bigger background may be nice in order to get more individuals in front of the cam.

Possibly move the light right behind the camera to lower shine and shadows much more. Would decrease confusion about where to look.

I may lower the shutter speed to 1/160. It was a bit dark near the bottom of the images which might have had something to do with the sync speed of the flash.

If we had a bigger background we 'd utilize a larger lens (a 35mm would most likely be best) to suit more individuals quickly. The big groups are constantly great fun.

Again, this being our first image booth, we do not claim to be professionals at them! There's a lot of room for experimentation and improvement! It was a very enjoyable experience though, and I can't wait to share the images with the bride-to-be and groom!

A little disclaimer: there is most likely no single ideal method to setup a picture booth. I believe this is a pretty great part of the picture booth. You could attempt to man the booth yourself, however I think you 'd get really various photos from the ones they would take themselves. While it would be remarkable to get a print into the hands of every picture booth guest I believe the much better choice is to have cards offered with details for where they can see and download/purchase the photos online. Again, this being our very first picture booth, we do not declare to be experts at them!
