Our experience defines us.

Outside or inside, we know how to set up your Chicago green screen photo booth.  We’ve survived hurricanes, floods, earthquakes.  We’ll work with you to plan every detail of your booth, so when we walk in, setup is easy.  We’ll arrive three hours before your event — or, if possible, the night before — so every glitch is worked out.  Tell us your needs, and we’ll deliver.  But if something unexpected happens, we’ll figure that out, too.

Content born from your ideas at our Chicago green screen photo booths.

Our Chicago green screen photo booths all start with an idea — your idea.  Maybe it’s a theme.  Maybe it’s a creative concept from your marketing campaign.  Maybe it’s just awesome. 

Our favorite inquiry calls start with, “I’m not sure if it’s possible, but…” That’s how things began with HBO when they rang to ask if it was possible to recreate the throne room set from Game of Thrones around the country.  That’s how it started with Shell Energy, when they wanted participants to appear as though they were diving to save the goal at Houston Dynamo home games.  When Littelfuse, a core client that has been with us for many years, decided to do an over-the-top Chicago green screen photo booth featuring different rock and roll scenes, this iconic “mic drop” photo evolved. 

Give us your idea, your theme, your concept and we’ll run with it.  First, we’ll create custom artwork.  Then we’ll pair those creatives with lux props, helping to bring realism to the image — and taking your concept to the next level.  At the event itself, everything comes together.  Our photographers know how to direct a participant –guiding the experience and helping each realize their own personal vision.    In this high-end experience, your ideas, participant’s concepts, our props, direction and execution all unite to create a fun, energized, memorable experience where each image created is unique to both your brand and a participant’s dream. 

You won’t believe how your ideas are given life. You’ve heard the term “content creators”.  Let us show you our take on how we create amazing content at events. 

Our Turnkey Rock Star Chicago Green Screen Photo Booths

Instantly transform your participants into rock stars!

Over the years, event planners have contacted us to get our ideas for themed green screen photo booths. One theme has stood out, and it’s not specific to a locality: Rock Stars. It got us to thinking: if we invested a bit of time and money into transforming participants into rockstars, creating the illusion they are performing next to their favorite idol, what could we achieve? How fun, over-the-top of an experience could we create? An experience ready at a moment’s notice for event planners. When on the event floor, it would appear to participants like months, if not years, went into planning the green screen photo booth — and they would be right — except we reproduce that experience for different events, customizing it to your specific needs — and keep building this turnkey solution. It’s taken on a life of its own.
The result? Chicago green screen photo booths where props and costuming change the experience to be completely unique. Our rock star booth leverages up to ten backgrounds for participants to choose from, ranging from historic classic rock to the latest performers. We’ve bought costuming that fits easily over what a participant’s street clothes; and transforms them instantly into rock stars or backup singers. In addition, we have props that are authentic to the music stage: real instruments like electric guitars and saxophones. Rhinestone microphones. “Rave” sequin and rhinestone hats. Authentic leather vests. Sequined tuxedo coats. Everything to make a participant feel like a star during their green screen photo experience: everything to create a final image that is as breathtaking as a rock concert.
Currently, we’ve developed artwork for: Cher, Prince, B.B. King, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Carrie Underwood, Harry Styles, Rolling Stones, The Voice, Beyonce, Aerosmith, Kiss, Zach Brown Band, Jimmy Hendrix, Luke Combs, Maria Lambert, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Kane Brown. Additional artists will be forthcoming based on client feedback!

“From start to finish, working with Mike and US Event Photos was great. Not only did his green screen photography DRAW A CROWD at my client’s tradeshow booth, but his energy (and amazing props) helped people feel comfortable in front of the camera, producing great photos that will be prominently displayed on fridges and desks – further promoting my client. If you’re looking for something different for your tradeshow or event – look no further!”  — Nicole Shields, Promarketingmatters.com

How We Do What We Do: Chicago Green Screen Photo Booths

Chicago Green Screen Photo Booths are ubiquitous.  You see them at private social events, like weddings.  They come in all shapes and sizes.  Some are traditional, enclosed booths with a point and shoot camera; others feature a technician who ensures everything works smoothly.  While we think these traditional photo booths are great, they aren’t us.  We don’t offer enclosed green screen photo booths.  We don’t have big pairs of sunglasses and funny lips on a stick.  What we offer is different.

Our Chicago green screen photo booths utilize a Hollywood designed photo set.  Our photographer runs the photo booth like a performance — making sure everyone has a blast, but also ensuring the photos are fantastic.  Our props reflect the carefully designed background artwork, to add realism to the image.  For us, green screen photography is all about realism.  Tricking the eye into believing a photo is not a green screen created photo, but an actual photo of a scene.  Even when the photo’s viewer KNOWS the image can’t be “real”, it looks so believable.  They stop and look: trying to figure out how the photo was created.  Our props are high end, luxurious.  They are designed to add realism to the photo and to build on the metaphor that is green screen.  Our photographers engage the participant — we direct them how to pose for the image so that it is both flattering and realistic.  We’re about creating a final photo that is amazing, something that represents your brand and markets that image in a powerful way.  We energize a unique experience where participants leave their traditional role and embrace a performance centered around your brand.  That’s what makes us different.  Love of great images defines us.

Updated Equipment Creates an Even Better Chicago Green Screen Photography Experience

We’ve updated our Chicago green screen photography sets with new, revolutionary LED edge to edge lighting. In addition, new “wing lights” illuminate for a truly wrap around lighting effect. Even better, updated background green screen photography material softly glows under our lighting, eliminating spots where pesky shadows would lurk under typical green screen photo booth lighting and background materials.

The result of these updates? Recently, Dish Network wanted to create an experiential photo marketing image where participants “hung” off a Dish 4D Cell Phone Tower. With the wrap around lighting and upgraded background material — plus a foam chromakey floor — we were able to create perfect images without any pesky shadows. We’ll continue to push boundaries with our over-the-top Chicago green screen photography experiences.

Chicago Green Screen Photo Booths:

Custom HTML branded email and MMS Text Messages

At our Chicago Green Screen Photo Booths, we instantly send participants their fantastic green screen photos via email and text.  But one thing sets us apart as an experiential photo marketing company (vs. a traditional green screen photo booth): those emails and texts are customized to your company.  First, the email: from the font used within the email’s body, to the header and footer graphic display, to integrated #hashtags and web links, we completely customize the full HTML email to fit your marketing needs.  Highlight new products, web landing pages, social media accounts, and even at-event raffles.

Next, the text message.  We send MMS text messages, with up to 110 characters within that text to fit your needs.  MMS text messages are graphically beautiful and are a better marketing punch than traditional SMS platforms.  Both the custom html email and the MMS text message set our Chicago green screen photo booths apart from traditional platforms.

Our Chicago Green Screen Photo Booths feature custom emails and MMS text messaging. Your marketing -- not ours -- is featured on all emails and texts sent from the event floor.

Data Collection and Our Chicago Green Screen Photo Booths

Our Chicago green screen photo booths are the perfect vehicle for collecting participant data. What data do we collect? That’s up to you. Whatever you want us to gather, we’ll provide in a simple Excel spreadsheet so you can easily import the information into your systems.
First and last name, email, text phone numbers and images sent are all standard data collected. However, it doesn’t have to stop there. If you have industry specific intel you need to gather, we have your back.
For example, one of our core clients requires the “booking telephone number” of each participant, because that is how they track their clients. So, we customize a field within our system to collect that information. Other clients require billing zip codes, or business phone numbers, or other materials that might not fit the standard fields. No problem. Tell us what you need, and we’ll tweak our platform to gather that information.
Even better, it’s included in our rate.

Our Chicago Green Screen Photo Booths are the perfect vehicle to collect participant data. The data collected is customized to your needs.
