Investing into photo booth, want to get idea of ROI

8 years 2 months ago #470414 by Eric A
LOL every time I come here I always find myself off in left field reading a post or looking at someone's photos.  

I've been looking around at getting a photo booth and trying to figure out pricing and when I might break even from having this.  For those of you who have one, how much are you charging to have this at an event you are covering?  

My Camera Bag:

Canon 7D | 50mm f/1.2 | 17-40mm f/4 | 70-200mm f/2.8 | 320EX | 580EXII

If you are going to get one, might as well get a good one.  I've been to events and the booth is clearly thrown together and the props are cheap, warn out or smell.  I've never owned one myself, however know a couple photographers who have one and they do very well with their rentals.  However I know especially for one of them, they spent a nice penny on their booth set ups.  And it pays off good for him, he usually get's most of his gigs from referrals.

I'm hoping to have the funds to pick up a nice one this fall.  The only downside to photo booths, is to get a good one.  You have to spend upwards of $5000 or more.

Not true, there are some for around $3400 that will perform and look like the belong there.

Thought this "Photo Booth" idea was a take on the old booths that we used to see in shopping centers et al, that spit out small strips of images. Found out what the new thing was from a nephew in San Diego while down in South Florida at a family funeral. looks interesting.....
