The perils of a do-it-yourself photo booth.

by on Jan.13, 2010, under Uncategorized

It’s tempting to save money and make a photo booth yourself. There are even “how to” articles about this on the Internet.

Great in theory, but they come up short in practice. Consider:

  • DIY booths often suffer technical failure during the event.  They work great during “testing” but in the real world flashes and cameras fail.
  • Builder doesn’t realize the booth requires full time attention.  That’s right, you have to be at the booth for the entire party–you will miss the party.
  • DIY booths physically break.  Backdrops get blown in the wind or are damaged in transit.  Booth walls are broken by intoxicated partygoers.
  • Photo quality is poor.  A professional booth uses cameras, walls, flashes, and backdrops that are all integrated and designed to work together.  DIY booths are made with what’s available, and the result is not of the same quality as pro shots.
  • The savings are marginal in many cases.  Yes, you might save $600 – $1000, but your cost on a backdrop, walls, flash, etc. plus your time cost may not add up.

If you do choose to make your own booth, test it thoroughly before your event.  Even volunteer to use it at a friend’s event to you’re ready for your own.  Or just leave the burden and the worry to the pros ; )
