HOME PHOTO BOOTH

You only need three things to get started with your home photo booth:

1. Camera - A phone camera works great, and if you have a designated camera that's even better!
2. Flat Surface - A large book, cutting board, or flat piece of wood will do the job.
3. Natural Light - Windowsills work great. The more light you can get, the higher the quality of your photos.
