In their own words
FreeBooth
FreeBooth is open-source freeware for building a DIY photo booth. It works with cameras that connect to a PC and transfer pictures using tethering software, including DSLR cameras; the homepage says supported cameras can connect by USB or WiFi. Guests can share photos by email, with sending postponed until an internet connection is available. Printing can be enabled, and either printing or email sharing can be disabled. An embedded server lets devices on the same network view the latest picture and a slideshow, and users can customize colors for an event. The download page lists Windows 7, 8, and 10, Linux, and Mac OS X, and requires Java 7 or higher. English, Russian, and German are listed as languages. Canon EOS Utility and gphoto2 are named as tested transfer software. The maker invites questions and feature requests and says it will try to help. FreeBooth is listed for photo capture, printing, lead capture, and a live event gallery. The listed plan costs nothing.
