Using a Photo Booth

1
Find the attendant in charge of running the machines so he can give you a token. The token is necessary for operating the photo booth; however, the cost can vary but is usually around $4 per token as of 2009.
Some places do not have attendants, and in this case you simply deposit the money into the machine. -

Most places that have photo booths, such as fairgrounds, have more than one booth. Locate one with the curtain open, which indicates it is available.

Enter the booth and close the curtain for privacy. Insert your token into the coin slot and follow the on-screen instructions. You can select different options, such as adding a decorative border around your final prints.

After making your selections, pose for the camera. There is usually a blinking light to inform you when the camera is about to go off. With most machines, there are about three to eight exposures.

When all of the exposures have been taken, exit the machine and wait for your pictures to be printed; pictures are generally 40 mm by 205 mm and usually consist of four stacked vertically. Today's digital machines can print in as little as 30 seconds; however, traditional analog booths can take up to three minutes.
