Diy Photo Booths

Photo booths are becoming popular at weddings and parties.


Photo booths, once seen everywhere in malls, are becoming a popular attraction at weddings, birthday parties or any other event where large groups of people gather to celebrate. Photo booths date back to the 1890s, when they were popular at carnivals and fairs. Today, with the advent of digital photography, the classic photo booth concept has changed.


Instructions


DIY Photo Booths


1. Decide if you are going to have a photo booth at your reception or function. If so, you will want to pick an out-of-the-way corner or area within the hall that will allow your quests to congregate before, during, and after the picture-taking session. Stay away from kitchens and other busy rooms.


2. Hang the backdrop on the two walls leading into the corner. Attach the backdrop to the walls using duct tape. Be sure to speak with the management of the venue and advise them of your plans. By using a corner and material that is light in color, the angle of the walls and the material will act as reflectors, helping to create a picture with even and balanced light.


3. Position a stool three feet from the corner of the wall. Attach the camera to the tripod and position the tripod two to three feet directly in front of the stool. Turn the camera on and set the shutter release using a timer, which will allow your guests to get into position to pose.
