The Mission
To help you realize the potential of how much more fun you can possibly have at your event. We are here to help you discover and document it. In the air, being all fantastic and junk.
Who we are
We are a team consisting of photographers, social mixers and ninjas. Yes, ninjas. We bring an accompanying form of entertainment to whatever event we get booked.
What it is
ActionBooth is a fully interactive photo booth set up at events to showcase all the guests who participated. We set up a high quality camera, studio lighting and various other equipment to be able to rapidly share the images with everyone in many different forms: Instant display via large monitor, onsite printing, as well as world wide web distribution. ActionBooth is not your standard-sit-in-a-box-and-press-a-button photo booth - we are not automated like that; our work flow is dynamic with each patron who chooses to participate.
Where we go
We are located in downtown Chicago, but we also go on tour for special events. The types of venues where we do ActionBooth can be anything from an apartment, a trade show booth or in the corner of a bar/club. The only thing that would limit where we can set up shop is the amount of space we need to shoot. Everyone should have enough elbow room for any dance, jump, or pose they would like to throw down. Trust us, we want to ActionBooth your event.
Why we do it
The ActionBooth team have always had a knack of taking fun pictures regardless of where we go, and keeping everyone entertained while we do it. We like to have fun and we like to document it. Now, we want to bring that energy to your event. We love music, we love to be social, we are up to date with technology. ActionBooth is the perfect mix of event photography and guest entertainment.
Jumping 101
2. Jump big! Lots of expression. Exaggerate your movements.
3. Make a funny face.
4. Tuck your knees in or try to touch your heel to your back, or try to do both, at the same time.
5. Try to fill up the whole shot with your body, your friends bodies or with random stuff.
6. Reinact your favorite action sequence from a movie. Preferably something from a Jackie Chan flick.
7. Make sure whatever it is you are doing, have fun doing it and let other people rotate in.
8. Secretly or obviously have a competition with the people who shot before you. Try to out-do whomever is trying their best for some healthy competition.
9. We like to carry dry erase boards with us, use them to send a message to your lame friends who did not go to the event with you or ask someone to marry you via ActionBooth.
10. Our service is called ActionBooth, not BoringBooth nor ZzzBooth. If you would like to just stand there without doing anything spectacular or ridiculous, please find a regular event photographer who takes pictures of people holding their drinks up in the air.
