How to set up a Photocall

Setting up a Photocall at a wedding, Family Christmas dinner, company event or at any party is always a good idea... we all like to be "crazy" in front of a camera and have a laugh! In addition to being a super fun activity for the party guests, the photographs that are obtained are a fantastic memory of the event, which we will enjoy every day after the party.

I leave you tips to set up a Photocall easily and make it ideal. You will see that it does not have much complication... it is only to put imagination, a few hours ahead and desire to have a good time.

1. BACKGROUND OR BACK FOR PHOTOCALL

First we will need an interesting background that gives life and color to the photo of at least 2 x 2 meters, the idea is that a small group of people can take a photo without being left out of it...

We need a vertical support surface like an existing wall, in case you want to mount it outdoors, you can create a back with two supports and a cross bar.

There are countless ways to create an original Photocall background and very easy to do yourself without having to resort to the printed background, which I personally don't like so much.

Pom Poms , fans and honeycomb balls or other types of tissue paper decorations are always ideal... I personally love them for Photocalls at weddings , Communions or romantic outdoor parties.

This one is made with two Pallets joined vertically, but if you don't have them or you want to simplify your life, you can include Crepe paper ribbons hung vertically in the bottom part. Arrange pom poms , fans and honeycomb balls in an arc for a frame. It will be spectacular and easy to assemble.

A Foil curtain is an easy solution for Photocalls at night. It seems to me that it always looks good, it is cheap and easy to assemble. You only need a background curtain from Photocall in glossy Foil and a wall to stick it on. If you want to see these garlands in our Shop you can find them in gold, silver and red foil.

2. COSTUME ACCESSORIES

There is no Photocall or funny photo without some fun Photocall kit or costume accessory. A good idea is to place a trunk, box or basket full of easy-to-use accessories such as wigs, glasses and party hats. In our shop you will find fun Photocall accessories that are made with images on cardboard and glued to a wooden stick, they give a lot of play.

3. MESSAGE BOARD

A fun and easy idea is to leave a small blackboard and chalk for the guests to write a message and take pictures with the messages.

4. A NON-MISSING UNTIL #

If you're into social networks, it's the perfect time to write a Hastag of the party and for your guests to upload the photo to Instagram or the RS of your choice with their Hastag #.

For example, #COMUNIONDEOLIVIA or #BODAMANUELYPEPA In this way, when you or your guests search for the acronym #NAVIDAD2016, all the photographs taken under that Hastag will appear. It is an ideal way to collect all the photos of your party without missing a thing!

5. A CAMERA AND A TRIPOD

If, in addition to taking photos with a mobile phone, you want to have the photos on a camera so that you can edit them later, the easiest way is to place a tripod in front of your Photocall with a fixed camera. In this way all the photographs obtained will be framed in the same way. If you want to have a quick and tangible memory of your Photocall, use an instant camera. You can capture the images and give one to each guest.
