The top image was taken with one light, the second with an additional fill light pointed at the background, and the third with props.

This should give you even lighting with just enough defining shadows. A good rule of thumb is to line up the bottom edge of your soft box up with the subject’s chin and place the camera directly below that. When you’re shooting with just one light, shoot your subjects straight-on to avoid unflattering harsh shadows. A tighter crop (waist up) gives you that old-school photo booth feel and it works great in cramped events.

If you have space, full body shots are great for capturing colorful outfits and giving people room to goof around. What that distance is depends entirely on how you want to compose your photos. The camera and soft box will be approximately the same distance from your subject. If you prefer less shadow, bring it closer to the camera. If you want shadows behind your subjects, move the marker closer to the background. This marks the general area where people should pose. Set up your backdrop, move three feet in front of it and tape an X on the ground. If it’s daytime, you can set up next to a window to take advantage of the natural light. Pick a spot against a wall, near an outlet, and away from too much traffic (one errant foot could bring your lights crashing down). Hot shoe flashes work great for both of these. Extra flashes can be pointed at the background to eliminate shadows and fill lights can be used to eliminate any strong shadows on your models. If you want to take your photo booth to the next level, you can add additional lights. A better option for working wirelessly is to invest in wireless radio transmitters which trigger the flash without requiring a direct line-of-sight. Most monolights have an infrared receiver that can be triggered wirelessly by your on-camera flash, but this doesn’t work very consistently.

Rentals start at around $25 per day and the rental desk will even show you how to set it up.

If your photo booth is going to be a one-time-only affair, consider renting a light kit from a local camera store like Calumet. The cost of this type of kit starts at $160 (not all kits include sync cords). You can buy most of these items together in a monolight kit.

If you have one of the many consumer-level DSLRs that don’t have a PC sync port, get a compatible hot shoe to PC sync adapter. The sync cord connects your camera to the monolight. The assembled unit mounts on top of the adjustable light stand. A small soft box goes over the monolight, diffusing the light to create a flattering effect. For these basic shots you need a 150 watt/seconds monolight or stronger.
