Describe the picture you want
Selfie pod usually describes the photo station; open-air describes an unenclosed arrangement. Those labels can overlap in a proposal. Ask the supplier to describe the actual capture station, background, lighting, guest position and photo delivery. A requested look is easier to discuss when it is broken into those parts.
Build a useful specification
| Part of the brief | Decision to make |
|---|---|
| Capture point | Where do guests face, and how do they start the experience? |
| Background | Use the room, request a supplied backdrop or discuss a separate display. |
| Group arrangement | Explain the people who want to appear together; ask what the actual setup permits. |
| Position | Consider the full setup and guest approach, not only the station. |
| Output | Request still photos and confirm how guests and the host receive them. |
Check the room as well as the station
Photographs include what is behind the guests. A busy doorway, reflective surface or catering station may change the result you have in mind. Discuss light, nearby activity and the proposed background before finalising the position. Do not move a booked station yourself to fix an unexpected room issue; agree changes with the team and venue.
Keep the price comparison specific
These formats are quoted for the chosen equipment and event. The published £250 two-hour starting offer belongs to the Magic Mirror, so it should not be treated as a pod or open-air package. Put the agreed background, props, output, operating hours and setup arrangements in the quotation, including anything supplied separately by your venue.
