This is a question that we are often asked whilst giving quotes, and also whilst at events. We usually reply with '4 or 5 in comfort, you can squeze 6 or 7 people occasionally, but you'll manage to get more in towards the end of the event - people become more flexible . . .' - at an event, usually 4 or 5 will then usually go into the booth, whilst their friends remain outside - then their friends will go in separately - later in the event they will all return and manage to get 6 or 7 into the booth and into the photos.
This was exactly the case last Saturday night at a 21st party at Charlies Restaurant/Bar in Harpenden, through the night we'd had groups of 3 to 5 go in the booth, and great fun was had by all . . . .. . the booth had a queue all night . . .. . then we had a big group who went into the booth and broke a long held record for our booth, the most number of people in a photo.
When we set up the photo booth for an event we always set the same camera settings, so the picture size is always the same, and the camera angle is the same. Our booth is a traditional style sit down booth, not standing so the distance from camera to guests is always the same.
Previously, the record number of people in a photo from the booth had been 8, and this had been reached on several occasions, in fact, on many occasions. At times we've even had 10 to 15 try and cram in the booth, but the photos were always just 8 heads max.
On saturday we got a photo with 10 people on it! How this was managed we will never know, for at the time the attendant was putting photos into a message book, and the 3 photos were only spotted the day afterwards - at the time the attendant put the photo into the message book he thought it was 8 heads like usual -(although, I will also add, that we are not that 'sad' that we actually count them . . . .)
So here it is (sorry about the watermark, but other photo booth companies keep taking our photos) :-
What a great photo! This record will stand for some time . . . . . . .
