it all adds
up to funSUM Booth is a green screen photo booth service, specializing in instant photography at events, social gatherings, trade shows, private parties and weddings.
When you think of a "photo booth", what first comes to mind? Cramped, confined spaces and a strip of postage-sized photos of you and all your friend's heads smashed together?
SUM Booth wants you to rethink the possibilities of the photo booth, combining the fun of a traditional booth with the professional lighting and photography of a photo shoot and industry leading custom-built designs.driven by design What makes SUM Booth different than your average photo booth or your typical green-screen event photography set-up?
We believe it lies in a key element: design
With traditional photo booths, design is an afterthought — it's a logo slapped on the print or an inscription along the bottom. When it comes to standard green-screen photography, the thought of design usually invokes images of people awkwardly placed in front of cheesy stock photo backdrops.
Design is especially vital at events and trade shows where photos are used to promote a product or brand, because every photo turns into a piece of marketing material that guests take home and share with others. What's the point of doing photo marketing if the photos don't even look good?
Immersive design, beautiful lighting and photography, and a fun overall experience — that's what SUM Booth is all about.

Digging deeper into some of our superstar clients and our work with them.
konami From custom Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards to immersive video game photos, Konami has really taken advantage of the diverse skill set of SUM Booth. It all started at events like Comic-Con, where we were tabbed to provide rabid Yu-Gi-Oh! fans with a chance to be on a card with one of their favorite characters. That work then shifted over to the video game side of things, where we allow gamers to pose in scenes of some of their favorite titles — such as Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania, and more.
Most recently, we were invited to be a part of the Tokyo Game Show, where we not only provided Metal Gear fans with 4x6 prints on-site, but also instantly uploaded them and assigned a unique QR code to each image so they could be viewed on the smartphones of guests in attendance as they left the booth.sum clients
