Who would have ever thought that something invented in 1925 and found in every arcade in the 70s and 80s would become the new must have addition to your party in 2012!
The rebirth of photo booth mania started around 2004 and has been steadily growing ever since. You may find some at the local mall in a variety of configurations. But, if you are going to a wedding, bar mitzvah or company party this year you are sure to experience first hand why this old concept has gotten fresh legs!
Not just for weddings. Photo booths have become the must have addition for corporate parties, reunions, bar/bat mitzvahs, birthdays, graduations and school dances. Unlike those old arcade style photo booths, the new photo booth, like those offered by Kansas City photo booth company Booth Crazy Photobooths, are a stand up, dance around and get crazy experience. Adding to the fun is a assortment of fun props to bring out the crazy in anyone!
Today's photobooths are usually ran by a computer, specialized software, DSLR camera, and some sort of studio flash. The print outs are printed in seconds using dye sublimation printers. The software takes control of the camera functions. Once activation button is pressed, the camera takes 3 or 4 shots at a specific delay between each. At Booth Crazy's Kansas City photobooths, it is 4 shots, 7 seconds apart. The 4 shots are compiled within the computer, saved to the computer and sent to the printer. A few seconds later, you will be showing off your masterpiece to everyone in sight. It is simple but so much fun.
Photobooth 101- the secret is the timing and having a plan. Practice really does make perfect. Good news! Because most photo booths are rented hourly, you are free to come in as many times as you wish. By nights end, you will be an expert with the photographic evidence to prove it.
Photographers get nasty sometimes about copyright. Scanning is frowned upon to say the least. Not so with your photo booth pics. They are yours. Do with them as you like. Scanning is encouraged. Plus, they will usually go up on a password protected site so you can relive the fun later. Perfect facebook material.
Photobooths come in many shape and sizes with prices ranging from $500-1500. Make sure you see the booth and know what you are getting. Check out the alternatives, do your homework and hire a professional company. Then, just sit back and watch your party become the talk of the water cooler on Monday morning.
