Despite the growth of photo booths over recent years for events, there remains very little quality information about how traditional photo booths are made. A recent show of ’How it’s Made’ on Discovery TV shows one of the best examples we have seen.
If you are looking to build a photo booth for business or personal use some of the most important elements to consider include:
The booth construction – metal, wood or light weigh materials suited to easy transportation.
The camera – a standard compact digital or a DSLR.
The photo booth program – ‘off the shelf’ or custom development
Photo booth hire has come along way since the early innovators in America adapted a traditional booth. The UK photo booth hire market has seen incredible growth over the last 12 months with demand outstripping the availability of these units. To assist budding entrepreneurs, numerous companies offering photo booths for sale have appeared. These range from homemade type installations to professionally designed and engineered units. Depending on the specification of the camera, cabinet build quality, printer type and studio lighting, units suitable for the rental market range from £7495 – £10,000 plus.
Photo Booths For Sale offer an excellent range of units aimed at both the private market (wedding receptions, birthday parties, Bar Mitzvahs etc) and also the corporate market including advertising and media agencies. A search on eBay has also shown numerous new and second hand booths for sale – Photo Booths on eBay
Photo booths have graced our TV screens for many years in commercials. Produced by CDP and directed by Graham Rose, the Hamlet’s contribution is a true classic.
