Photo Booth Advice From An Expert - Part 1
Ғылым және технология
Chris Bedke of Creative DJs in Rialto California successfully runs 9 photo booths! We caught up with him (in his Garage) for a little Q&A. What to buy, what not to buy, where to get ink & paper at the best prices, what photo booth is the best value, etc. Priceless info for anyone interested in Photo Booth!

Another great video by Brian. Thanks, man.
Great timing on this video .. I'm shopping now for a photo booth and this hit the spot... I still need to figure out what I should charge clients in my market... But I did here they are getting a higher price than in other markets .. Thanks again
Nice video, very informative. I've built my own photo booth, so advice like this will be handy if I build another one in the future!
Thanks for a great video and good insights
Thanks for this video, Really helped me get started
I have a question. what tipe of diffuser are you using? Im about to finish my photbooth, I'm just missing my flash and the diffuser. can you give me an advice?
What is the best photo booth in 2016, looking for a full size curtain enclosed photobooth. If you had to buy another which photobooth would you buy now, Im looking for enclosed booth that has monitor outside so people can see other photos while they are waiting. Also is DNP printer the best, darkroom 2 software, canon t5 camera.
Part 2 part 2 . Great video
What kind of insurance should I carry for a photobooth business and can you recommend an insurance agent in the San Bernardino area?
I hope to have 9 booths some day! 1 down, 8 to go!

They are simple to make! I've got a photo build series on my channel. Hope you get to 9!
I had just emailed foto club this morning about a photo booth printer bundle and saw your video. Too bad dnp don't have a wireless printer like Hiti. I am probably going to go with dnp but how has your Hiti held up?
great info touch screen is a must
Congrats to you! You seem smart enough to tuck your money away. This is a kewl business but is not destined to last with technology advancing so quickly.
Is there a Part 2 ?
Very informative.
How much do you charge..and what kind of packages would you recommend

Thanks alot we dont have this in Trinidad yet but I think I will invest in this to expose to our Market here
What company did you purchase the $4,000 photo booth from? What is the brand? I would like to purchase one to include in our hall rental packages. Please let me know!
briansredd I am from northern California and looking into getting a photo booth. I was wondering if you had a direct contact for you or Chris Bedke? I have some questions about what I may need to get started??
I like the green screen photo booths better, I wonder how much they are?
I got DSLR photobooth, but the touch action does not work. I tried FnF9, and it is still not working can you help.

What monitor are you using?
Im thinking about getting a mirror me booth to rent out at parties and events ... I believe its a good investment.
Starting to hate Hiti printers I had one go out on me an hour into a 50 year old birthday party right as the grand entrance happened and the birthday guy wanted a picture. Boom error message so had to send it in for repair
How much do you charge for event? Just curious
Awesome video and interview always interesting to see how guys do this. My only thing with getting a photobooth is I think you would need an assitant to run it. i like the idea of the portable one you bought.Not sure of photobooths will be abit of a fad like karoke booths were

Yeah most likely. We make it a family affair. My kid runs my booth. Makes her great cash & keeps her out of McDonalds when she could be studying. A friend of mine is getting his wife involved, or rather she is getting involved & getting a photo booth. As far as "fad" goes, that's speculation. DJing could be a fad. Thing is, I see photo booths at most of my gigs. It's a lot of fun & still novel to loads of people
Can we meet in Rialto to talk more about photobooths . I'm off Sierra ave .
Part 2? :)
hi brian i was wondering if you could give me chris info i would like to contact him regarding a photo booth i want to purchase a photo booth but theres so many brands

I post a sign that reads, "Look at the camera not the monitor". They still look at the monitor. I gave up!
Would you say the DNP DS-RX1 is a good printer for the business?

yes, this is an excellent printer to buy. Good quality prints, does 4x6 or 2x6 strips and cuts them, but the best part is you get 700 prints from 1 roll of film/paper which means you will prob get 4+ parties from each roll and there are 2 rolls in a box so it keeps your cost down. A box is apx $180= 1400 prints= 12.9 cents per print so if you print 175 pics at a 4 hour event your cost is less than $23 dollars. Also shop around b/c there are companies that offer free shipping, and find a company out of state and then there is no tax!
Thanks im trying to start my business
DO you still Like the Colorado photo booth?
Oh my God, the guy i got the booth from totally screwed me. he gave me the used sony printer and then two months later they stopped selling the film, much to my dismay. The camera was used and i ended up having to buy a new camera, new printer and the thing is falling apart. it is just like the white one you have there, and he was a dj guy too. I have basically had to rebuy everything, but dont know how to fix the setup. i am trying to learn.
How do you make money while using it?
hi, i would like to know how much does a photo booth cost, nearly?

Thermal ribbon printers such as DNP are fast and cheap to maintain but there print quality and gloss is poor compared to inkjets. When using inkjets you need a minimum of two printers.
In my company we have reality photobooth i like

This Sounded quite high at first, however I wasn't aware this also included printers etc. I'll be honest the images I saw were not fantastic, I also know why. But just to add a little info on Photo booths, pro Photogs charge about $400 for a booth for me that's a possible extra $16,000 a year.

The pictures are not fantastic but that doesn't mean they are bad. However; I've seen a better. The problem is the small flash box that is also square on to the subject. In general this casts harder shadows than larger soft boxes and the angle tends to produce 'flat' images.
lol i cant believe idiots sign their soul away to greedy idiots, happened to a dj friend of mine too, he cant even dj in his hometown nor use his name lol

This looks seriously shady. What's with the creepy dark garage? If you're doing THAT much business, can't you afford to rent a studio for your videos??
These are the store brand of photobooths. They are not the Coca-Cola high name brand thus they look generic and basic. Companies like Shutterbooth have better presentation and cleaner looks but you'll pay more .
Well thanks for essentially telling us nothing. Your comment don't think like a DJ WTF to be a DJ/MC at an event is an actual skill unlike putting up a photo booth i know because i do all three at the same time and the photo booth is a no brainier, as far as what i charge for my photo booth i charge what it is worth which is less than half what photo booth only company's in my area charge because lets face it they are a rip off like you. The gig is up time for the professionals to take over.
