Photo Booth Setup
BrandStudio Photo Booth pairs an iPad with a tethered pro camera — the iPad runs the guest experience, the camera takes the photo. Branded overlays, countdown flow, instant delivery via QR, SMS, email, or print.
What you need- An iPad running the BrandStudio Capture app
- A tethered camera: Canon over USB-C gets full control (including live view on the iPad); any PTP mirrorless or DSLR works for capture
- A booth stand for the iPad and a tripod for the camera
- Continuous lighting (a big quality difference in dim ballrooms)
Want a lighter setup that uses the iPad's own camera and a handheld remote? That's Selfie Studio — a separate tool built exactly for that.
1. Open Photo Booth on the eventIn the Capture app, open your event and launch the Photo Booth tool. With no camera connected, the booth shows "Connect Your Camera" — plug in the tether and it goes live.
2. Configure the boothEverything is set from the portal (Event → Photo Booth):
- Brand overlay — logo, frame, and watermark baked into every photo before delivery
- Countdown and shots — countdown pacing, photos per session, retakes on or off
- Burst mode — optional: fires a rapid sequence and delivers a branded animated loop (an MP4 built for stories) alongside the stills
- Welcome and thank-you text — every screen carries your colors and copy
- Delivery — QR on screen, SMS, email, and optional print if a printer is paired
- Idle timeout — the booth resets itself to the attract screen between guests
3. Brand assetsOverlays from Brand Settings flow through automatically. For booth-specific frames (sponsor logos, event-specific artwork), upload at Event → Brand Assets.
4. Run the boothMount the iPad at eye level next to the camera. With a Canon tethered, guests see the camera's live view on the iPad during the countdown — they frame themselves. The booth runs unattended: attract screen, tap to start, countdown, capture, share screen, reset.
Tips- Do a full test session before doors — camera connected, one photo, delivery received.
- If the camera cable gets bumped, the booth shows a reconnect banner; double-tap the top-right corner to re-trigger the USB connection.
- Run an attendant for the first hour at high-volume events to keep the line pacing smooth.
- Continuous light beats venue lighting every time — the camera is pro glass, feed it real light.Configure Photo Booth
