Photo Booth

SNAFU Con has its own photo booth setup. This includes backdrop and always on CFL Lights with umbrellas.

Tips

  • Set your white balance
  • Make sure your camera’s internal clock is set correctly and synced with other staff cameras
  • Focus on the eyes
  • Use the rule of third
  • Think about the entire photo besides the subject
  • Ask your subject to move so you can use a wall as a backdrop
  • Ask your subject if you can take their picture
  • Know when to break the rules (of photography, not the con)
  • Go to panels/events
  • Rave (could make some good long exposure shots. Maybe use a flash?)
