Get the Job Done: Cheyenne Car Show Photo Booth

(Photo by Illusive Dreams Photography)

I'm blogging to you live today from the Trend Settas Car Show and Benefit for the Cheyenne Animal Shelter. The show is sponsored by Liberty Storage & the Wyoming Army National Guard and is running from 10 p.m. to 4 p.m. at O'Reilly's Auto Parts, 1211 Del Range.

This is the first time that I and my colleague Jason Peckovitch of Illusive Dreams Photography have taken our photo booth concept out-of-state, from Colorado to neighboring Wyoming! We are hoping that car show participants who haven't come in contact with us before at the many Denver-area shows we frequent will generate new sales and interest in automotive photography, Jason's specialty as well as my fast turnaround editing and printing on site. Models pose with cars during a professional, on-location photo shoot with Jason. Then I edit the photos and print them on-site!

Here are the prices: $10 for 4x6, $15 for 5x7, $20 for 8x10 (all with models) Our first sale of the day was a t-shirt! But the models are hitting the participants up right now to generate a buzz so it's bound to get busy soon!

As a dog lover, I'm personally excited about being able to promote the car show's goal to raise donations for the local animal shelter. A special request has been made for the following items: non-clumping cat litter, dog and cat food, trash bags, pet toys and treats, miracle grow chemical sprayers, rack and shovel pooper scoopers etc.

Get the Job Done: First Car Show Photo Booth of the Season!

I'm blogging to you live today from the Citywide Car Show in Broomfield where I and a colleague are hosting our first photo booth of the season. I am editing and printing today and our guest photographer is Jason Peckovitch of Illusive Dreams Photography. Our featured models are Tina and Brittany.

We are selling 5x7s for $10 ($15 with a model) and 8x10s for $15 ($20 with a model) .

The music is old school and jamming. The weather is gorgeous, hot with blue skies. Good luck to everyone in the show hoping to take home a coveted title and trophy.

Here's our first seller of the day shot with Tina:



And here are a few of my favorites from the day:









Jason did an excellent job yesterday. His shots were creative, amazingly light and clean making the editing process for me quick and easy. Tina and Brittany rocked it despite the heat of the day and I appreciated their willingness to hit the ground running, passing out cards and really working the crowd so we could get paid prints. Can't wait to work with you guys again! The show was a good practice run to work out all the kinks in running a photo booth. We got two more assignments for upcoming shows, and it looks like this summer will be busy.

It's barely 11 a.m. and I'm already drenched with sweat. Photographer and colleague Jason Peckovitch of Illusive Dreams and I are on location at the 5150 Rise and Shine Car Show at Red and Jerry's shooting photos of models with cars, editing them and printing them on site for a minimal fee. A few weeks ago, a rainstorm and fierce winds buckled Jason's canopy, snapping the metal frame beyond use. So Jason ponied up the $200 we needed to buy a new extreme Sports Authority canopy that took four people to put together. But man was it worth the effort! The Quik Shade Summit S233 canopy is strong and sturdy with two let down thick frame walls for more shade. The aluminex-backed wall might work well for portraits too if we get anyone interested in those today.

But the main attraction will definitely be getting models to pose with vehicles in the show. We have numerous models for our clients to choose from thanks to Brody Hall and Kylea Killeen from Tempting Images who offered their own models for us to borrow in shoots today.

Here are some sample shots from previous car shows Jason and I have covered. A 5x7 costs $10 and an 8x10 is $15, plus $5 extra for a model.
