Shoot and Print in Real Time

Found this interesting photography group at the IMMAP Summit taking photos of the delegates in the exhibit hall. They’re like a walking photo-booth of sorts which looked funny because they also lug their printers and computers around with them.

I think this idea has been around for some time but this is the first time I’ve actually seen it in action. The model is similar to the photo-booth rental but this one actually has the photographers walking around, taking pictures and printing them within a couple of minutes.

The back-pack comes with two photo printers and a netbook hooked up to it. The one who carries the backpack is also the photographer while an assistant will operate take care of the print-outs.

I think their service is called PhotoMan and starting rentals for 2 hours is around Php9k. Their tagline is “shoot and print in real time”: Nice, cool little gig.

Nice.. yeah… 9K for a shoot all you can? Hmmm.. sounds interesting…

Let’s see
Laptop – 20k to 25k
Printer – 3k to 5k
Camera – 15k to 25k (an entry level DSLR)
Photo Paper – Php 100 (100 pcs via CDR King)

Looks promising!!!!

Nice. My brother’s friend actually proposed something like this to me. We’ll use his dslr and my laptop.

Never pushed through tough. Nice to see it’s happening for others. :)
