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.

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.

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.

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...
