Well the Christmas season is upon us, with that comes the parties. I was contacted by some friends to see if I offered this photo-booth thing being a sports photographer. Now I know I must live under a rock because I had no idea what they were talking about. I did some searching and it seems to be very popular at weddings and seeing it more and more at all kinds of parties. You can rent actual photo-booths but this way seems to be quicker,easier and can be a little more creative and fun.
So needless to say I took the gig, purchased some props and was good to go. I knew it was going to be a good evening when I got there and the hostess handed me what she had picked out for the BG. I tried the bare wall for a bit but put it back up as it looked better.
They also had a bunch of props themselves and a few guest brought some as well, but we won`t get into that LOL. I was setup in the cleaned out kids playroom which was about 8x10 feet. Once I was setup people started lining up. It was a blast and people seemed to be having fun as you can see.
My 5D Mark II with 24-70 was setup on a tripod. I clicked away as they were trying things on and when they were ready to pose. No formal posing except to roughly tell them where to stand, but as the evening went on standing became harder and harder for them lol.
But there were times when things were not that goofy and people kept the props to a minimum.
It was a great evening, good people and lots of fun . Lots of goofy funny photos and every now and then a more serious photo was captured as well. Is it something I would do again? Yup it is?
