Photo Booths

The newest trend in the Philippines is hiring a photo booth for instant printing and giving out instant souvenirs for your wedding guests. Now for the uninitiated a Photo booth can be very vague, some might think of the older type ID machines Polariod used to make or a Neoprint booth, but its not really that simple. Now anybody with a portable printer, a digital camera, a laptop, a strobe and enough know-how can create a photo booth or a photo booth experience and a physical booth is actually not really that important. It could mean a desk with a laptop and a printer, a digital camera on a tripod and the strobe on a light stand or it can also be a real booth that you have to enter and exit. But the structure isn't really important, trust me they are all the same on the inside and what they achieve are all equal. Of course if you want to pay a premium for a sleeker looking booth design don't let me stop you.

Ok so now lets take a deeper look into the photo booth. Firstly what makes a photo booth, for one it can be seen as a portable studio, getting people together is always fun but the unique part about the photo booth is that the subjects are the creative part since the camera is always mounted in one particular location and there are no shallow DOF (Depth of Field) or any other creative inputs on the side of the camera as a normal studio environment would have. What this results in is that the people the subjects are forced to turn down their guard and make some very compelling poses, and this is turned into more fun by the fact that it can be a group experience as well. Printing of the photos is done within minutes of the actual photo being taken and the guests can claim their photos almost immediately. But not only do the guests get a remarkably unique experience and souvenir but the newly weds also get another perspective into their wedding, its almost like hiring another photographer just for your guests. A photo booth is more than this though, I believe that it is a part of the experience of getting married, but sometimes this can also be a negative. Since Filipinos love to get their photos taken sometimes the photobooth gets too much attention, yes it can actually rob the newlyweds the undivided attention that they truly deserve. There are times that there would be more guests queuing up for the photo booth than guests actually paying attention to the program. This is nothing major though, and with proper planning and a good coordinator having a photo booth at your wedding is more than a good idea.
