We spoke to Esfering about the details you need to know when choosing a photo booth or video booth for your wedding or event
The origin of the project must go back to 2010, when we created the first photobooth for parties and events in an open format, i.e. no booth and no coins, and with the appeal of the client being able to see themselves on a screen while posing .
Since then, we have pursued a policy of continuous innovation that has enabled us to develop improvements in the aesthetics and quality of our photographs, both digital and printed. We’ve always strived to create experiences where our users feel like protagonists and like each other for our photo booth.
The project was born in a university SpinOff and continued as a secondary project in another technology-based company. Later it was consolidated as a company dedicated to the whole process from manufacturing to service. To this day, Esfering is a reference brand in the sector and in the range of content generation services.
The key is to surprise with unique photos that no other photobooth can offer. Mainly because of the photographic quality and style. The same thing happens when someone is looking for a photographer for a special event. In that case, choose the one whose style suits your personal taste more. It’s not easy to get good photos automatically, but at Esfering we’ve managed to implement some techniques to achieve this, and the customer sees and appreciates this professional quality.
Some Esfering customers would never rent a photo booth for their events. If they choose us, they do it because they have tried it before and they know the experience we provide and the added value we bring to a party.
Every event host or organizer looks for two things: creating memorable moments and having them captured. If you see yourself favored in a photo or video, chances are you’ll post that content. This will ensure that the event transcends its duration and scope. And the fact that the viralized content is of quality will help raise awareness for the event.
In our case, as a technology company, we tend to adapt quickly to trends. We create innovative functions, filters or effects that in most cases become loved and fashionable by influential customers.
For example, more than 10 years ago, we pioneered the direct insertion of virtual backgrounds using chromakey into these types of photo booths. This service has allowed us to partner with major brands and sponsors of top national level events in sports, film, music or television. He even took us to serve in the United States for the first time.
We have also pioneered super slow motion services with real-time processing on a turntable. Or filters implemented with, among other things, a beauty effect and a retro effect, which important influencers have demanded of us in recent months.
The most attractive services are those that provide unforgettable moments during the event, moments that would not exist without Esfering. It is true that 360 video and super slow motion services are very fashionable, but the photobooth is still the most demanded because it is the one that contributes the most to most events.
It is often said that the customer seeks the best value for money when choosing what to buy, but in this type of service I would speak of the value for money contribution ratio. And on this third factor, the balance leans towards the photobooth.
Without a doubt the photobooth. It is a guarantee for generating a unique atmosphere during your party and hundreds of unforgettable memories, both for you and your guests. And if the conditions are right, I’d supplement it with a 360 video platform or the super slow motion and turntable service.
With the photobooth we provide moments whose magic does not fade over time: from a glamorous pose in front of the spotlight during a photocall to the dispute to get into the frame in busy photos with friends. Giving those moments to our guests is priceless.
In addition, it is a smoother service than any video, allowing more guests to enjoy it. Because you must remember that our service generates a physical gift in the form of a printed photo, which is a very personal gift and can have great sentimental value in the future.
And most importantly, in the wedding photo booth, you can’t miss the album where the guests leave a copy of their photos with a dedication. After the maelstrom of the event, this album is one of the most beautiful memories and one that our customers value the most.
Almost all photobooths offer 3 hours of service during the open bar with unlimited printing. But it is very important when choosing a photo booth to consider the fluidity of both photo capture and printing.
There are uncomfortably slow services where guests have to stand in long lines and end up taking very few photos. They may be cheaper and even offer unlimited printing and copying, but that inevitably affects the quality and quantity of photos they generate. With most services, the price per printed photo ends up being much more expensive compared to Esfering.
Because… what is more important, the total cost of the service or what you ultimately pay for each photo? It may depend on the importance the customer attaches to the event.
At Esfering we don’t save. Trying to get the most out of the team, we print copies for all the people in the photo and an extra copy for the album. While all copies are being printed, our photo booth can take the next batch of photos at the same time. In this way, the equipment records and prints uninterrupted during service. To make this possible, our team is always assisted by expert Esfering personnel.
The first major events always leave an indelible memory. Weddings such as those of Helen Lindes and Rudy Fernández, those of Dulceida and, more recently, those of Marta Lozano, Teresa Gonzalvo, etc., have made a great impression on us.
At the event level, we are characterized by services provided in emblematic places, major sporting events, award galas, congresses, festivals and concerts, events in the US and European countries, etc. These types of events always have a high impact and we usually represent clients or prestigious brands such as Starlite, Tiffany & Co., Guess, Porsche, Jean Paul Gaultier, Nespresso, Mercedes, Coca-Cola or Netflix.
Certainly. There are many and from very different fields: athletes, actors, presenters, singers, models, journalists, politicians, influencers…
I was able to highlight Antonio Banderas and Georgina Rodríguez at the Starlite Gala in Marbella. Or athletes like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, Pau Gasol, Luka Modric, Jordi Alba, Xavi Hernández, Dani Carvajal, Sergio Llull. They’ve all posed for our cameras at some of their parties and private parties.
And many other celebrities and influencers such as María Pombo, Carmen Lomana, Ana Mena, Marta Díaz, Laura Escanes, Lola Índigo, Chenoa, Blanca Suárez, ‘Los Javis’, Esther Expósito, Arturo Valls, Susanna Griso, Luján Arguelles, Joaquín Torres , Maria G. de Jaime, etc.
