Since we're still out of budget to buy a complete photobooth setup from Alibaba or local suppliers here in the Philippines, but really wanted to start a photobooth business, we decided to make use of what we already had. I had a Sony ZV-1 camera that I previously used for vlogging and a ring light that wasn't getting much use.

We started by offering photobooth services at our church, then at our friends' events. It wasn't the ideal setup, but it worked and helped us get started.

The app we use is ShutterTrax on iOS and Android. What we like about it is that it can connect to almost any camera and printer, and it's one of the most affordable photobooth apps available.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this to inspire others. Sometimes, you don't need to wait until you have everything figured out or all the equipment you want. You can start with what you already have. The things you need to begin might already be right in front of you.
