the hazards of a home self-portrait studio

Many of my clients have been opting for the self-portrait studio setup that we make available at weddings so that guests can take their own pictures. It’s really a great time and you get pictures of people goofing around that you won’t get any other way. More on that a bit later… But first…

I am always refining our equipment and setups and had been testing out the self-portrait studio at home and left it on while I took a break to do something else. Well it’s summer time which means my kids are around a bit more and they happened upon the self portrait studio and managed to get it going.

As you can imagine, when a 5 year old and a 7 year old are left alone with a setup that will take pictures and instantly display them on a 19″ monitor you know you’re in for some trouble.

Case in point.

The funny thing is that unsupervised 5 and 7 year old behavior tends to degrade in the same way that adult behavior does (although we’re yet to see underwear on the head at a wedding).

Love it! I am also working on a setup for guests to take their own photos at weddings. Yours turned out very nice. Good stuff!
