Photo booth alternative
The photo booth that fits in a backpack.
A rented booth means a kiosk, a ring light, an attendant and a delivery window. ShotSlip is a phone or laptop and a receipt-size thermal printer. Staff snap the photo, the guest gets a printed slip with a QR code, and the photo is on their phone seconds later.
