Photobooth business - how to start?

[manski3d]

^are there any other reasons aside from the battery why the strobe wont flash using the 603? or baka sira lang wireless capability ng trigger/receiver na gamit ko.. =] TIA

Best if you use a strobe setup kaysa sa flash... o kaya if you have a flash with external power option(SB800, SB900/910) ok na rin... nga lang sayang naman ang flash mo.. sa Hidalgo, you can get a strobe setup for 6k to 8k... pangmatagalan na yun..

I'm planning to build my own photobooth business. Naginquire na ko ng packages which starts from 80k and up. Wala po ako idea on how to start/operate business na katulad nito but I do own a Nikon D3100. Pano po ba magandang magstart? I mean, do i need the package? or materials nalang since I have D3100?

reply is very much appreciated. salamt po.

Thanks to all who shared what they know and don't know about photobooth. My photobooth kicked off last saturday and it was a success. We named it Holiday photobooth. This is not possible without your inputs.

Good Day!

Mga Sir/Ma'am, tanong ko lang po kung anong lighting ang ginagamit nyo sa photobooths nyo. Yung sakin po kasi continuous light lang plus built in flash ng camera, 105w na yung binili ko na daylight bulb pero minsan may shots na madilim pa din (not so dark naman).

I'm planning to upgrade but i'm not sure what to buy. is it a speedlight, a strobe light or add ng ac slave flash.

thanks in advance.

Hi guys!

done back reading. I will also venture into this business since my dad has his own photo and video coverage business. Helpful po ang tips ninyo dito. I tried looking sa packages sa sulit ng photobooth and it ranges from 70-95k. Pero kapag nag cost breakdown ka pala ay di ganun kalaki ang magagastos mo. Syempre it still depends on the gadget na gagamitin.


Who among you here did not use yung box for photobooth? yung tipong tripod lang ang gamit? Any problems encountered? Thanks!

Hi guys. Patulong naman. May idea ba kayo kung ilan boxes ng KP108in (Selphy Consumables) ang magagamit sa 9 hours event? Or kung 4hrs, ilan boxes nacoconsume? I'm using only 1 Selphy printer. TIA.

Ako madam, gamit ko tripod photobooth lang. Spent 80k more or less. In less than 30 mins, naka setup na yung booth. Very portable. Anyway, isa pa lang na cover kong event, wedding event. And it didnt end well. 2hrs ang rent sa booth ko, pero 4 hrs ako nandun sa event. Bad trip lang, I had to wait for the ceremony to end, kasi sa reception mag istart yung booth. And isa pa, puro lang sila pa-recopy ng pa-recopy ng pics. Di ko na sila binigyan ng dvd copy ng pics, di man lang ako pinakain hihi

ay ganon sir? kainis yan ah.. pero sana po malinaw sa contract na sa reception lang mag start mag operate, otherwise, oras pa lang lugi na tayo diba? saka yan din naiisip kong problem, ang pagpapa recopy.. time consuming. siguro dapat talaga na may malinaw na contract or if they want to have another copy, another shot nalang sila. mas madali pa. thanks sa tripod advice mo.

^yes, use a wireless trigger, it looks neat compared sa hotshoe adapter na may wires hahaha.. depende pa rin sa setup na gusto mo, samin 1 studio strobe lang (Prolite DS150 or Boling 120w na strobe)
