Photo Booths, Art & Andy Warhol

0 Comments

Posted by David, in Auckland, Christchurch, Corporate, Dunedin

Did you know that the incomparable Andy Warhol used photo booth photos to create his candy coloured pop art?  The iconic portraiture photography and silk screen print combination was so revolutionary, many in the art world dubbed it “art’s most radical change since cubism.”

Photo booth Pop Art

We like to think that when our photo booth’s are at your event, we’re creating little works of art of you and your guests. The autonomous nature of the photo booth that fascinated Warhol is the exact concept that we know produces our amazing photos – people will never do for a photographer what they do for our booth!

It’s a beautiful thing that in the age of the digital photo, your guests can have  an instant, tactile photo strip; often ending up in wallets and on fridges for years.

When we finish at your event, you receive a custom Photobooth Fun USB with all your 4-photo strips as well as a high resolution copy of every “single” photo taken. This means, if there is a photo that you just love, love, love among your photo strips, you’ll be able to enlarge and print these in fantastic quality.  

      Andy never had it that good!

Photo Booth Mania 2014!

Happy New Year from the Waikato, Bay of Plenty Photobooth Fun team!

We covered thousands of kilometers in 2013, being a part of people’s celebrations and it’s awesome that we’ve been to locations we’d never had been to if you hadn’t invited us. No two events were the same and we love that our beautiful country is full of thousands of fun kiwis – we’ve enjoyed meeting you all.

We hope 2014 will be as amazing for you as it looks like being for us. The summer calendar is filling fast but still lots of dates left so go. You’ll also see us at a lot of the international events so make sure you come and say “Hi” and get your groove on in the booth.

Here’s a beautiful fellow we’re looking forward to meeting at Balloons Over Waikato 2014..see you there!

Happy New Year everyone – Yep, the year has flown by and we’ve had a ball (and attended a quite a few as well!). Congratulations to our first South Island happy couples for 2014, Lee and Natalie, and James and Julia. Both couples wed on the 4th Jan in scenic South Canterbury and we were quite happy to kick of 2014 in such beaut locations :)

The Christchurch team had a fabulous time with the photo booth over the Christmas period – We had balls, weddings, company Xmas dos,  festive carol evenings and we were even lucky enough to bring our special brand of fun along to the Child Cancer Foundation’s 2013 Christmas party – And who did we have trying out props and striking poses with the best of them but my favourite Crusader and All Black, Kieran Read – Of course, lots of people wanted photos with him!  Now  as we all know, having a turn or two in the booth is not exactly a hard task, but what a good sport (excuse the pun)! Although, this champ didn’t come close to beating some of our bride’s records for longest non-stop stint in the booth!

I’m looking forward to what 2014 has to offer – We’re full swing into wedding season now so bring it on!

Cheers

‘Tis the Season

In the build up to Christmas, there’s nothing like a good party to get everyone in the festive mood. This month we were proud to support The Radio Network’s Special Children’s Christmas Party here in Christchurch – A very special event which provides an unforgettable experience for disabled and disadvantaged children in our community.

And what a day it was, there were so many fun things to see and do and the photobooth ran non-stop – All that laughter coming from behind the curtain was contagious and it was great to see smiles on the faces of those patiently queuing for a turn.

It was a real privilege to be a part of this fantastic day, I met so many lovely families and had a ball watching all the fun.

We have lots more Christmas parties coming up  this month and I look very forward to seeing some of that Christmas cheer snapped in the photo booth.

Season’s greetings from Canterbury!

We are always so proud of our staff here at Photobooth Fun Waikato/Bay of Plenty as they’re the “faces” of our business. They’ve been to many a venue and helped hundreds of people take thousands of great photos.

Our summer calendar is filling fast so we’re taking on more operators to continue providing our great service.
How do we interview our applicants? Why we throw them photo booth of course! As an operator it’s not unusual to be requested for a photo opportunity.

We’ve still got some free dates for your last minute Christmas bookings so don’t think it’s too late to have us at your party. Keep a lookout for our new staff…they’re coming to an event near you.

To prop or not to prop..

0 Comments

Posted by David, in Photo Booth

 

Now although we’re never short of people eager to jump in the booth and do their thing, there are always one or two of a more reserved nature who can take some persuading. Generally once in, the magic of the booth takes over and everybody is soon an addict but for the photo-shy, stepping into the booth can feel like the beginnings of an intrepid journey.

That’s where props can come in handy. There’s nothing like a disguise to sway the reticent poser. Our fantastic collection of props can take someone from cautious to camera ready in a matter of moments and once they’re in, they’re usually hooked!

And of course, it’s not only the shy ones who enjoy dressing up; Fake beards and mustaches, silly hats and glasses, bunny ears, bows, wigs and masks – Whatever the guise, our props are guaranteed to bring out some great poses and create big laughs! We even have Christmas themed props for that Xmas party to really help bring on the festive mood.

I love finding props for our Christchurch collection and I love seeing the different looks people create – Whether it’s a full blown disguise or just adding a touch, everyone has their own style and everyone has fun!

Gatsby Galore in Christchurch!

0 Comments

Posted by David, in Christchurch, Events, Photo Booth

 

What ho!

Feeling like a cancelled stamp, a milquetoast? – Why that’s probably because you missed Gatsby’s Great Snow Ball this weekend – Held at the transitional Cathedral (I can’t believe it’s really a cardboard cathedral!), what a berries night! Organised by the Canterbury’s ski clubs, the 20s themed ball raised money for the Westpac Helicopter and the organisers did a Pos-i-lute-ly ducky job, raising $12,000 and giving everyone a night to remember to boot!

Helping to solidify those memories was our photo booth; We had a swell time – such hotsy totsy outfits, such fab poses, such glam!

Pos-i-tively darb darling!

 

So if you wanna stay hip to the jive, you’d better get yourself along to the next fab charity ball in Christchurch: The Great Pink Gatsby – This Fundraiser for Shocking Pink will transport you to the roaring 20s and put on a party to rival Gatsby’s finest! And our photobooth will be there to snap you in all your dudded up finery!

The lovely women at Shocking Pink really know their onions – So don’t be a bluenose, break out the mazuma, get dolled up, leave Mrs Grundy at home and ankle on down to this sockdollager – It will be the cat’s meow!

 

Ta ta til then

Manager – Christchurch

Once Upon a Time…

Posted by David, in Photo Booth

The story of Photobooth Fun starts, like many a great story, with love. In our story, a boy loved a girl and he built her photo booth for her birthday party. The photo booth was loved by everyone at the party and many thought that others should enjoy the booth too.
Before long, friends put in requests for their own booths and the boy worked studiously to deliver. Before you could say “cheese”, Photobooth Fun the company was born.

Nowadays, Photobooth Fun is a mix of people who were all friends (in some way or another), before becoming a part of the business. While nepotism is frowned on by many in a workplace, we think it’s a great part of our unique vibe. We’re all genuinely passionate about the company because most of us “asked” to be a part of it

Our photo booths are all around the country and have attended hundreds of amazing events, met thousands of great people and have taken hundreds of thousands of awesome photos. We look forward to continuing our journey and seeing you at your next event.

So thanks to our founder Brett for being the best boyfriend in the world!

Bartercard13Photobooth Fun is a Bartercard partner so now there is a fun and exciting way to use some of those Bartercard dollars.
We recently attended the Bartercard National Conference so most of the Bartercard staff have experienced the hilarity and goings on of a photo booth at their event.
We can attend your business conferences, AGMs, Christmas functions, promotion events, expos, set up in your staff lunchroom, store openings, sales days and even set up in store for your customers. You can also sponsor us to appear at charity events – we’ll brand our photo strips accordingly and provide great staff in attendance.
Call us now – dates are filling up fast!

Canterbury Spring – Off to a good start!

0 Comments

Posted by David, in Christchurch, Events, Marketing, Photo Booth

 

Is anyone else out there glad it’s spring? The blossoms are out in force in Christchurch (so pretty!) and the Photo Booth Fun team are certainly happy to say bye to winter!

The start of  September saw us taking the photo booth on its first ever Gondola ride – We were at the Vero Marine Division’s 20th anniversary party up the top of The Christchurch Gondola and I’ve gotta say, that’s the best way I’ve ever travelled to an event! Such an incredible view and such a fun night. Another fabulous party organised by the talented team at Madant – They take having fun very seriously:

It takes a lot of effort to look this serious in one of our booths

                                                  ——————————————————————–

Now unless you’re in the know with the PBF team, you are probably unaware that our lovely booth attendant, Emily, is a very on the ball student and a part of the Future Leader Scholars at Lincoln University . This team created the the amazing Lend A Hand charity group:

As a result of the 2011 earthquake, the team of scholars established an annual event to give back to the community. Every year they come up with a novel means of raising money for a charity in need.

And this year, on the 27th September, we get to be a part of the action at the Lend a Hand Charity Evening. The event is aimed at raising awareness and funds for Youthline Canterbury and they have a fantastic night lined up (even on top of the photobooth!).  Tickets are selling quick so get on in and support a good cause!

 

Merry Springtime everyone :)

Michaela

Manager – Christchurch
