Photo booths are fun, but usually they stay in one place at the party. Now Brooklyn-based Boothomatic rents a mobile photography unit. The slender six-foot-tall module is crafted out of whitewashed or natural bamboo, and can be easily wheeled around so guests can pose, dance, or jump in front of a desired spot; a handheld wireless trigger activates the camera. Portraits can be viewed immediately on a high resolution LCD screen at the back of the booth. The unit takes high-quality images, in black-and-white or color, and has a light source built in. Images are supplied to the host on a Web gallery after the event.
Standard rentals cost $2,500 for the New York City area for a four-hour shoot period. The price includes a Web page of event images, where guests can download photos at no extra cost or purchase prints. The host also receives a CD of all the photos from the party. Custom packages are available (pricing upon request) and include a wider delivery range, customized backgrounds, and a hardcover book of photos.
