For the side walls I used


and for the filter on top we used Delta 1 Nylon Ripstop Diffusion Material, White - 60 x 45410 B&H .


Here is how the room looks:


If you can I suggest you go at least 12 feet high...

There are a bunch of great ideas/setups in here! Stefan, what kind of overhead lights do you have? I'm assuming regular flourescent lights? What color range and how many?

Great topic! I have been wanting to throw some money at a photo booth at the dealership for the interior photos.

For the photo geeks in the group I have been using the Canon 10-22mm (Link) and a Canon 7D.

I wonder how many consumers end up thinking these are stock / photo shoot pictures and not the actual inventory pictures?

Especially if your dealership site isnt the first they've visited...

but anyways, Bravo bravo! Best dealer-taken pics I have ever seen

Thank you for the kind words. I have been asked a few times it the photos were "stock", but usually people are familiar with the area and recognize the scenery.

A few photos on the way home last night:

Stefan,
What lighting are you using? I have until next month to come up with a photo booth and have no idea what to do!!

Joe,
You're an innovative guy, If money was no object what would your booth look like.

Here is my latest one: 30x35x12



We built this one for $5k.
Here are few examples:




For the lights we use T5 Fluorescent lights, for the filter at the top we used Delta 1 Nylon Ripstop Diffusion Material, White - 60 x 45410 B&H and for the sites we used Drapery Blackout Fabric ( Light weight).

As you can see we decided to go to only 4 lights in the corners in an effort to reduce the glare:



Few Thoughts:

• If you can build yours 12 feet high (Lifted Trucks, SUV's ...) so you don't get this:

• Paint the Floors a light Gray... If it its to dark you get something like this:

If it is to light you have to have them perfectly clean ( this could be a problem at high volume stores... or with stores that just get into this ... sometimes It is very hard to tell your GM/Owner that you need to hire few more people to help you keep the pictures place clean, move the cars in and out ... this after you just spent 5-10k on building the place and equipment); however, you could get pictures like this:
