This Friday we talk to some pioneers of photo booths:
@Todd Caputo is in the process of building his latest and greatest booth. He and @joe.pistell built the first one nearly a decade ago. They have a lot to share on what they have learned.

Here are some photos of the 2nd Generation of photo booth for UsedCarKing.com. I'm no studio photographer, building a photo booth that SELLS CARS BETTER THAN ANYONE IN YOUR MARKET takes hundreds of hours in research and experimentation and it creates LOTS of failures. Thankfully, Todd knows pictures drive profits and he was fully committed to the journey.

Hot topic!
Todd sells 5,000-6,000 cars a year that ran thru 3 photo booths, so, SPEED and EASE OF USE was as important as photo quality.
Regardless of how many cars you sell, a photo booth that is cumbersome and high maintenance will slow your data collection teams productivity thereby adding extra days to the car being invisible, or more days of stock photo use.

Turntables are for small photobooths.
Build the booth as big as you can make it so your photo ppl can walk around the unit. If you don't have a large enough indoor space, then a turntable helps SPEED and EASE OF USE.

Indoor photobooths are made because of weather.
If you work in a climate that is the same year round, resist building a booth and spend your $$$ on an outdoor stage.

Interior shots sell cars and are the hardest to get right.

I've seen a lot of fancy indoor photo booths that focus on getting the ouside of the car looking good, but the interior shots look bad in comparison due to lacking light and the photographer gets blurry pictures because of the slow shutter speed required or lack of depth of field
