Adventures with Hip Image

Bringing Tradition to Life with Cutting-Edge AI Photo Booth

February 15, 2025

When the Manitoba Métis Federation hosted their Annual General Assembly, Hip Image brought a cutting-edge twist to the celebration of Métis heritage. Our custom AI photo booth, featuring authentic Métis-inspired figures, created the busiest trade show booth at the event, generating buzz and excitement among attendees.

A Unique AI Photo Booth Experience

To honor Métis culture, we developed custom male and female figures of trappers and fiddlers that attendees could see themselves portrayed as. Using our advanced AI tool, Red River Métis Citizens captured these cultural identities in a seamless, interactive way. Over the course of three days, we captured over 2,000 photos, showcasing the enthusiastic participation of attendees.

Brendan Butler, representing the Manitoba Métis Federation, shared his thoughts on the experience: “The AI tool was an ideal solution for enabling our Red River Métis Citizens to capture themselves portrayed as a traditional trapper or fiddler. With a high turnout at the event, AI ensured that everyone had the opportunity to take a photo without requiring physical costumes, eliminating downtime and streamlining the process.”

Streamlined and Impactful

By eliminating the need for physical costumes, our AI photo booth allowed attendees to immerse themselves in the experience without delays. Citizens enthusiastically shared their digital photos with friends and family, amplifying the reach of the event’s impact.

Turning Photos into Marketing Power

Each image incorporated the Manitoba Métis Federation’s housing logo, turning these photos into a powerful branding and marketing tool. Not only did attendees leave with a unique memento, but the organization also gained increased visibility through widespread sharing of the branded images.

A Resounding Success

The AI photo booth experience left a lasting impression on attendees, combining tradition and technology to create meaningful, memorable moments. Butler added, “The event was a resounding success! Citizens enthusiastically shared their photos with friends and family. By incorporating the housing logo into each image, we turned these photos into a powerful marketing tool. The photobooth experience left a lasting impression and created memorable moments for all who participated.”

Creating Buzz and Engagement

The booth’s ability to attract and entertain a high volume of attendees made it the centerpiece of the trade show floor. Attendees of all ages joined in, capturing moments that celebrated the rich cultural heritage of the Métis community in a modern and interactive way.
