I'm going to be building (well not my hands, but I'm in charge of design) a new photobooth.


I've just gotten some measurements...

30 ft long

24 ft wide

11 ft ceiling (I-beam)


There are a few obstructions in that space.


I'm thinking the plan is to build a diffused drop ceiling at 10.5' tall or so with the proper cloth that is going to be 12x24 in the corner of the space...


The long side is going to be some sort of curtain unless I can have the entire wall drywalled, but there is a exterior door on that wall...


I'll draw up something in MSpaint or on paper and post the size.


Lighting is my biggest concern obviously. I haven't figured out how many lights/fixtures I will need/want but i will likely be 3 x 8 (24 total fixtures with 4 bulbs a piece)


If I need additional lighting I will get some matching strobes to bounce off the ceiling and onto the car.


The rest of the room will be curtained off or finished nicely to reduce reflections on the SIDES of the vehicles... I also plan to start shooting with a CP filter.


Will update more this week.


Any thoughts or feedback on the primitave plan(s) so far is welcomed.. ;)
