Question: Is this a traditional photo booth controlled inside by the people? So someone sits inside and is able to select color/black and white, and when to take the photo, or is that something you/the attendent controlls for them?
Answer: The guests can do it all by themselves inside, but we find that it is faster for the attendant to help them with instructions and choices. Once choices are made, then the attendant helps close the curtain to assure guest privacy. We find that speed is important to keep a line from developing. We want your guests to be having fun and not waiting in line. Forcing the guests to learn the very simple controls can add a minute or two to each sitting.
Whether they do it by themselves or with the attendant to help, the guests are alone behind the curtain.
Guests can choose color/sepia/black and white… one choice for all four poses.
There is also the ability to aim the camera higher or lower. (important with tall or short guests and while the guests can do it easily, again, we find it much quicker for the attendant to set it before they start)
Regarding the “when” to take the picture, there is only one “when” that covers all four pictures/poses. After the start button is pushed, the computer screen reminds the guest to wait for the count down and to look at the camera. Then the computer screen does the count down. It takes the picture without any further prompts, waits a second and then starts the next count down, shoots and then starts the next count down. etc.
The prompts are very clear and easy to follow once it has started and there are no buttons to push once you’ve started.
