Is there a app the charges the customer to print their strips? Does lumabooth have that option for ipad? if so how do you set it up or what app pops up a paywall for customers to scan to pay
I own a photobooth business and it's going good. I feel like there's a limit to build income since certain month won't have way less events than normal. On a normal rate, I get around 4-6 events a month. I'm planning to expand it to other cities by providing franchisees as I want to build my own brand.
Is there anyone who does photobooth business in a franchise model,
Please help a fellow photobooth business to Grow.
I just recently bought one of those photo booth stands that take an IPad (see them a lot on amazon) for my upcoming wedding. Any recommendations on the best app to use?
Edit*** I am not worried about prints, just digital delivery :)
Thanks in advance!
any recommendations on best photobooth app preferably for photo strip pictures (that could also add logo on the strip) and also recommendations for best mini printer that can print the strips, thanks!
Hi all,
I’m starting my photobooth business and struggling to get my 1st booking. How did you market your business while not having any pics for marketing yet?
What are the best ways to get your 1st booking?
Thanks!
Hello!
I'm buying all the stuff I need to make my own photobooth and was wondering which sort of screen is the most suitable one?
My photobooth is going to be fix in one place. Any advice?
Thank you very much
Hello friends! I own a tattoo shop and am looking to have a permanent photobooth installed in my shop. I'm not trying to invest TOO much money as l'm not necessarily planning on profiting off of this as it would be inside our shop as a fun thing for clients to take photos during their visit. I emailed with Chalkak as I thought purchasing a pre built photobooth would be easiest to but unfortunately the cheapest option with them (including shipping) is 8k+. Which is WAY more than I'm looking to spend.
After doing some research in this sub I think I can DIY something that works for us. But I just want to make sure I'm purchasing the right things and need general advice on what system & equipment would best fit our needs.
Basically all I want is for the the photobooth to be enclosed (which I'm willing to build a frame or something for) and for it to print physical strips. Essentially building a DIY version of a photobooth you'd use at the mall or something. I'm not too picky about amazing, photo quality, portability or making this anything super fancy! Just need something simple enough for me to build and maintain. I've been looking on facebook marketplace as I figured finding someone selling all the equipment together would be easiest but I'm definitely opening to purchasing everything separately!
EDIT: I know the risks of DIY, and I am willing to take those on. I am a grown adult who understands technology and how to use professional photography equipment. If you aren't going to answer my questions, then there is no need to respond. Thanks!
Hi! My wedding is approaching, and I want to DIY our photobooth. Here is the general vibe of what we're going for. I want it to feel very editorial.
I feel like I have almost everything you need to do this:
I plan to get chargers & adapters for everything. I won't be investing in a wooden stand or a printer -- this is a one-time use kind of thing and would love to just rely on what I already have on hand!
My questions:
Thanks so much in advance!

I’m hosting a birthday party at the end of the month and I’m wanting to do a photobooth. I’m having an issue with the apps I’m trying not printing 2 strips on my 4x6 photo paper. It’s instead printing 1 strip on two pieces of paper. Any suggests on how to fix that? Or what app to use? Thank you❤️
Hi everyone! I’m currently researching photobooth setups and wanted to ask what equipment you consider essential for a reliable setup.
Can you help me make a checklist of the important things I need? Especially:
Camera + lens
Lighting
Printer
Backdrop/stand
Laptop/tablet
Software
Cables/power backup
Booth/enclosure
Anything beginners usually forget.
Would also appreciate brand/model recommendations and things worth investing more money into. Thanks!
Hey, just wondering if anyone in the group has a Roaming Photo Robot? Ive just purchased one so wouldn’t mind connecting with anyone for tips and tricks.
The DNP RX1 HS I bought in 2022 started having issues, so I am sending it in for service. About a month ago and about an hour into the event, the print would be all red or yellow and then jam. The ink ribbon would melt onto the contact bar and rip when trying to remove. I would clear it, tape up the ribbon, and reset. After about 2 or 3 sessions, it would happen again. Changing out the ink ribbon and paper produces the same results. I took it to 2 more events and the same thing started happening again after an hour or two. This is actually my back-up printer when I get double bookings and taken care of pretty well.
My main RX1 HS that I purchased in 2018 has been rock solid. Even after being dropped a few times and being in a rear end collision in my van.
Has anyone experienced the same issue or had to have their printer sent in?
I’m looking into switching our four booth cameras to the Canon R100. I’ve seen several posts about flash misfires and a few about overheating, but It seems to be well liked by the majority of boothers. We currently use Canon 70d’s which have always been great with our Alien Bee ring flashes. We have fans in our booths as well. Any input on these issues? Thanks!
Hey everyone- I had an event this weekend and everything went well and the guests loved the photos.
However, I'm not happy with the way the backdrop showed up in the photos. It had a greyish hue despite being a white pillow tension backdrop.
I use a Canon EOS R100 camera with a Godox MS300V flash (no other lighting used).
I typically use the following settings at events:
- Shutter Speed - 1/125
- Aperture - F11
- ISO - 400
- White Balance - Daylight (although, I think I might switch it to Flash, as Daylight tends to be cooler toned)
Is there something I can change in my settings to enhance the white (almost overexpose it) without affecting the how the guests look, and without buying external lighting for the backdrop?
Hi . I need an advice. I am booked to do a concert for about 1000 people. It will be an outdoor festival. Do you have any advice about the setup. How to be more visible for the people, how to stand put in the crown and dark. Shoul I do some kind of rollup stand advertise or some led light signs or a red carpet. I dont have anything but I have 15 days maybe I can buy something to improvise. Do you have any advice. Also how do I regulate people coming to the photobooth. Do you have any advice this is my first event ever anything helps
