Photo Booth Setup
BrandStudio Photo Booth pairs an iPad with a tethered Canon. The iPad runs the guest screens, the camera takes the photo. Branded overlays, a countdown, and delivery by QR, text, email, or print.
What you need- An iPad running the BrandStudio app
- A Canon EOS camera connected over USB-C. Guests see its live view on the iPad.
- A stand for the iPad and a tripod for the camera
- Continuous lighting (it makes a big difference in dim rooms)
1. Open Photo Booth on the eventIn the app, open the event and tap Photo Booth. With no camera plugged in, the booth shows "Connect Your Camera". Plug in the camera and it goes live.
2. Set up the boothEverything is set in the portal, on the event's Photo Booth tool:
- Overlay: frame and logo artwork placed on every photo. Artwork on the booth wins over the folder, event, and brand.
- Countdown and shots: countdown pacing and photos per session
- Burst mode: optional. Fires a quick sequence and delivers a looping MP4 alongside the stills.
- Screen text: welcome and thank-you screens in your colors and words
- Delivery: QR on screen, text, email, and print if a print station is set up
- Idle timeout: the booth resets to the start screen between guests (75 seconds unless you change it)
3. Run the boothMount the iPad at eye level next to the camera. Guests see the live view during the countdown and frame themselves. The booth runs on its own: start screen, tap to start, countdown, photos, share screen, reset.
Tips- Do a full test before doors open: camera connected, one session, photos received.
- If the camera cable gets bumped, the booth shows a Reconnect prompt.
- Double-tapping the top-right corner exits the booth. Tapping the top-left opens camera controls.
- Put someone at the booth for the first hour of a busy event to keep the line moving.Configure Photo Booth
