what’s the partybooth?

I sort of borrowed the name CRAZYBOOTH from the image is found. I bought their CRAZYBOOTH manual which is the best thing if you’re a photographer looking to set up ‘booths’ like this at receptions – save yourself hours and hours of testing and just buy their manual! The CRAZYBOOTH is what they call this super contraption, and I couldn’t think of anything better and wanted to set it up right away so I borrowed the name. Out of respect for them, because gosh, I think the world of their work, I’ve been trying to come up with another name. For a while I thought I’d just keep CRAZYBOOTH because if you Google it, you’ll find jumbles of photographers who call it that…but something in me just still felt like I was sort of stealing the name. So, I’ve decided to just call it what it is…a PARTYBOOTH! Because it can be set up at any party. You can still bring the crazy. Bring the party. Party it up. Whatever.

By no means do I think I’m the only photographer that has called this a PARTYBOOTH. Actually, if you Google that, you’ll come across a lot of companies that call their traditional photo booths PARTYBOOTH. But I think this set up has way more to offer, has much more party going on. So anyways. Are we clear now? The PARTYBOOTH is my new name for the CRAZYBOOTH. Don’t be so confused. Let’s just get to the photos.

You might remember a few weeks ago I went to Buena Vista’s Young Life club to snap some fun shots. Well I got invited back to bring more fun! This time we set up in the garage so that more kids would realize there was something happening that they should definitely be a part of. I might as well preface this by saying that this part of the garage also functions as the prop closet for BV Young Life, so there was a lot of propping going on.

Leslie threw a wrinkled sheet up on the only blank wall in the space and we worked with it. I really wish it was possible to carry around my amazing 9 foot roll of paper, and after I go through Houston in a week, I’ll be able to! That’s just how the PARTYBOOTH rocks…just go with the flow, baby.

Thanks BV Young Life for having me take over your space with my huge umbrella and bright flashing strobe. You guys rock!
