Photo Booths come in many different shapes and sizes and their functions can vary depending on which Photo Booth Company you purchase from. It’s really important if you are thinking of starting and running a photo booth business to understand what’s important to Party Hosts and what they are looking for in the functionalities when they hire.
There is a misconception that Party Hosts want software that can perform many tasks and whilst it’s always a good business move to be aware of what current software is popular, what Party Hosts are looking for is much simpler than we think.

Having a good selection of good quality Props is also vitally important, not only should the props be themed based if the Party Hosts require but they should be clean and presentable.
Having a helpful attendant is also vital to a Photo booth hire Companies success, having someone present and ready to help and guide guests will make a lasting impression and increase the likelihood that you will receive repeat bookings.

After spending 4 years in Leicester studying physics where my final dissertation project was heavily programming based I was keen to begin a career in software development. Working on Photobooths seemed like a fun and interesting place to start.
From College went into the family run business – Advertising Agency. Eventually took over the reins of the company and moved it into a more technical direction. After retirements changed the dynamic of the company we changed direction to a Direct Mailing Company specialising in digital and mailing’s for Electricity companies (MEB, British Gas, nPower). After a profitable run I felt a change was needed and so started a Programming and Consultancy Business. This eventually led me to the world of PhotoBooths and beyond.
