In recent years, the demand for photo booths have steadily grown, making them a fixture of special events. From weddings, corporate parties, and other special events, photo booths are a versatile product that can be utilized for a wide range of occasions.  Establishing a photo booth business will come with a range of unforeseen benefits. Let's track down a few key reasons to start your own photo booth business before delving into the financial benefits that come...

There are tons and tons of photo booth businesses out there. Even though all photo booth businesses provide the same basic service (a photo booth), each business is still very different from the next. That’s one reason we stand by the idea of community over competition - if each business is unique, and offers something different than the next, every photo booth business owner will find the right niche for them.  To find the right niche, booth owners need to start by getting their business and brand out into the world. If your logo design represents your brand well, it...

For the majority of photobooth business owners, this is the first time that we’ve experienced a worldwide pandemic of this scale. The climate is ever changing and we must adapt in order to continue running a successful photobooth business. That’s why our very own Catalina from MDRN Photobooth Company sat down with Aaron Arce Stark of Arce Stark & Haskell LLP during one of our Photobooth Podcasts to discuss potential changes that photobooth owners should be making to their contracts during this time.     What contract changes should we be looking at? It's more important than ever before to be adding...

Before the world was affected by COVID-19, the photobooth industry began to see an uptake in Digital Drop Off Photobooths. While we can’t change the state of the world at the moment, it goes without saying that Digital Drop Off Booths are more important than ever before.  For those who are unfamiliar, a digital drop off booth is a booth that is prepared before an event and is then dropped off at the venue, left alone, and run exclusively by the guests.     Previously, this type of photobooth rental was great for longer events where clients may not have...

I think it goes without saying that we’re all living in very strange times, for lack of a better word. Due to COVID-19, we understand that many photobooth businesses across the world have been heavily affected.

That’s why we here at Photobooth Supply Co. have worked endlessly to adjust to this “new normal” and have updated Salsa, our iPad Photobooth Software, with a totally new feature - Hands-free Mode.     Hands-free mode will allow your guests to capture precious moments...

If you're using an iPad-based photo booth, like our Salsa Photo Booth, it's not likely that things can go wrong during an event as there are fewer moving parts. With that said, it's still a piece of technology and things can go wrong. It's always good to be prepared for any issue that may occur. This is especially true if you have a photo booth that has more parts involved, like the Queso or Legacy booths that feature DSLR cameras. Know Your Equipment First and foremost, it's important that you know your equipment and how to fix basic problems. It may...

If you're using a DSLR-based booth, such as our Queso or Legacy booths, it's important to know what the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture do and how they can change your photos and affect the final results. Heck, even if you're using our Salsa Photobooth or just a photographer in general, it's equally important to know what each of these camera settings do so that you can achieve amazing results regardless of the environment you're in. Today, we're going to break down each setting and make it as easy to understand as possible. ISO The ISO is a way to brighten your photos...
