Default An instant and creative photo biz...

Dien,

Your post reminded me of another instant creative photography business.

A friend of mine was in Las Vegas about a year ago and saw a photographer set up with a kiosk (mobile cart) business. He had a stool beside his workstation where he sat his customer to photograph his/her face.

In only about 5-6 minutes, my friend walked away with a great photo of herself...but it was her face on the body of a Las Vegas showgirl! She loved it and brought it home and framed it for all to see.

She was so interested in the idea that she spent a few minutes talking with the photographer. She told him that she was from Texas and thought she might want to do this herself on weekends or at festivals, etc. He shared with her that it was extremely profitable.

I think she paid $25.00 for each 8x10 photo. In fact, she later told me that she had the photo taken of her face for use on 3-4 different 'bodies' wearing all different kinds of sexy outfits with the big feather head-dresses.

The photographer had a manual which offered all sorts of backgrounds for instant printing with her face on them.

She is a high school art teacher and took one to school - just for fun - on the last day of school, and told her class that was REALLY her in her 'former profession' and they believed her! It looked SO authentic! :)

I thought it also sounded like a good idea in the right setting. Just thought I'd toss this one out since it just came to mind.
