Photobooth Setup Shots
Following another successful photobooth at Beckie & Chris’s Wedding last weekend I thought I’d share a few more setup shots.
You’ll find information of a previous photobooth setup here.
Again we used the Lastolite HighLite powered by a Elinchrom D-Lite 4 at full power, we placed a few LED Par Can’s (run cold, no heat produced) into the bottom of the HighLite to illuminate the background during idle periods, the lights were set to change colour in time with the music. We also used a number of other par can’s around the photobooth area to illuminate it.
I used another D-Lite4 with a white reflective umbrella as the main light source, set to about 3/4 power. After the modelling light overheating issues last time around we used another white par can to shoot through a shoot-through umbrella to illuminate the photobooth area (allow me to focus!)
We again shot with the Canon 1D IV tethered to the macbook pro, but this time displayed the images on the larger 47″ plasma. For the photographers out there, if I remember rightly I shot at 100ISO, 1/200s, f 8.0. The lights were triggered using PW Plus II’s.
As usual we provided an array of props and fun stuff.
You can see all the images taken using this setup here in Beckie & Chris’s Wedding Story gallery.
One of the issues I always run into is the width limitations of the Highlite, despite using it in the 7x6ft orientation, any more that a couple of guests and I’ve reached the limit! I have a plan to extend the width for next year’s wedding season, so check back for an update!
Photobooth Setup
I thought I’d share a few setup shots from last nights photobooth gig.
Working with Sukey from Spacebar Productions, we first setup the Lastolite Hi-Lite and a single strobe (shooting into a large white umbrella), we then added some LED lighting and decorated the light stands. We shot tethered to a Macbook Pro, displaying live images to a 32″ screen (with a custom frame – check out the photo below).
We then finished the setup off with a whole bunch of hats, props, masks and white/blackboards.
For the techie’s out there, I shot at F6.3/8, ISO 100, 1/160-1/200. The Hi Lite was lit using a Elinchrom D-Lite 400 set at just under full power (5.5), and the main light was again a D-Lite 400 at full power (6.0)

Your Wedding Photobooth
I thought it was about time I shared a little more information about our Wedding Photobooth, well I say Wedding, but our photobooth is available for any occasion, just ask for a quote.
A Photo Booth can be a great addition to your wedding day photography. Rather than an small automated booth, our setup is more like a mini studio with a real photographer. Thats right, not an uninspiring automated machine, but a real personable and fun photographer.
Our photobooth can be set up just feet from the bar, so that for a few hours your guests will have the opportunity to have some fun with some props and create some great memories. We bring the backdrop and a treasure trove of fun props, all you need to do is bring the guests.
The backdrop is 7ft wide, so plenty of room for a large group of guests, we use a Lastolite HiLite which is lit from the inside, therefore requiring a very small footprint, fitting into even the smallest of spots. I have a variety of backgrounds in a number of colours, get in touch if you want to try something different to white.
We shoot tethered and also provide a large screen so that your guests can view the photos straight away!
All images will be professional retouched and posted along side your days images for all to see and share, or why not turn them into a unique coffee table book, or magazine style album.
We can also print on site in a variety of sizes if required for an additional charge.
So a few photos of the setup, please excuse the garish wallpaper in the background, I’ll get some new photos next time, but in the meantime here are a few images from Michelle & Rob’s Wedding last week.
In addition to a wealth of props and dressing up accessories, there are whiteboards so that your guests can leave you a special message in their photo.
And what do the finished results look like?
