Who’s behind Snaparazzi?
Amy Moon
Customer Service Coordinator
Amy keeps the booths up and in running, up in action and thriving. She is in constant communication with all of our partners, building and upholding our relationships we create when you have a photobooth in your venue. She also aids in event planning and working on any maintenance the photobooths need.
Snaparazzi's pace gives her the ability to learn so much on the job, there’s something new to learn every day which is engaging and exciting.
The Albert Schloss booths are Amy’s favourite, double the prints and donating to charity, while providing cool vintage photos. What’s not to love?
An office discussion about discontinued items brought up Amy's beloved go-to Wagas order that is no more, the Vegatsu. Whenever you’re feeling indecisive it was perfect - the whole team is on her side protesting for its return!

JP likes being a part of a rapidly growing business “to see expansion first hand and be an active member of it. I don’t know where the future will take this business but I’m super excited to be a part of it”. Being based in London means he doesn't get to come to the homeland as much as he'd like but when he is here he loves to surf - so you'll find him at the beach.
Jordan Liss
Photobooth Technician
From travelling the world with Snaparazzi, to making our photobooths come to life, Jordan has done so much as a Snaparazzi technician. He loves the variety of venues he visits and helps when he installs and restores photobooths. His other tasks include upgrading booths by installing new tech in older booths, solving any hardware issues the photobooths may have and helping maintain their quality.
Our team discussion on the discontinued items brought up that Jordan longs for a Mars Planet's comeback as they were cruelly taken away from him - he reminisced on the good old days, “They were the perfect mix of crispy, chewy, and creamy chocolate. They had a great variety of textures in one bag!”. To be honest we all agree, Jordan!
Laura Bestford
Events Manager
Laura is at the sole of all the events at Snaparazzi - if a photobooth is being used for a birthday, a christmas party, a wedding, she’s on it to ensure memories are captured to perfection!

Principle Software Developer
Also known as, the quickest typer in the world! Martin has been an official member of the Snaparazzi team since 2025 but he has been an important part of our development for much longer.

He has been a huge influence on some of Snaparazzi’s most complex photobooths, and out of all of our booths his favorite booth is Shrek’s booth at Shrek’s Adventure, one of the most intricate, special photobooths we have ever mad
Michael Elliott
Lead Designer
As a Graphic Designer at Snaparazzi, Mick spends his days bringing photobooths to life, from concept to design. Every booth for Snaparazzi clients goes through Mick. He works closely with both the production team and the sales team to ensure that each design aligns with the client's vision and brand, creating unique booths that are all about user experience.
Since no two booths are the same, it’s more than just designing the booth wallpaper; it is about choosing the right colours and materials, incorporating custom branding and figuring out how every detail comes together. When asked about what he likes about his role, he said it is because he gets to do what he’s passionate about every single day and that he is part of a team that’s not only talented but genuinely awesome.
Mick thrives in a creative environment where ideas are encouraged and no two days are ever the same. Speaking of passion, an office discussion about discontinued items brought up Branigan's Roast Beef and Mustard crisps. Mick is pretty set on the idea that they were the best crisps ever and that it's a travesty that they stopped making them.
Nadia Dryden
Operations Director
Nadia leads the team that manages all financial operations behind the scenes here at Snaparazzi. From processing partner profit share payments to implementing the financial infrastructure for new markets, to making sure everyone gets paid on time.
Nadia is the one who ensures the numbers add up each month, allowing the continued growth of Snaparazzi. Nadia says she loves her role because of the perfect balance of strategy, finance and creativity. She also loves that she gets to work with a talented team that always brings fresh ideas to the table. It’s easy to see how rewarding it is for Nadia to see her financial insights directly contribute to Snaparazzi’s day-to-day life. Picking a Snaparazzi photobooth that was her favourite was an easy choice; it had to be the collaboration with Lines Behind for the Newcastle Melia hotel on the Quayside.
The Melia is Nadia's family's Sunday lunch spot, and she has some amazing photos with her kids from that one, which makes it extra special.
Nerissa De Beer
Logistics Coordinator
As our Logistic coordinator, Nerissa ensures that your photobooths are made and delivered, efficiently and on time, working with freight forwarders, venues and internal teams to make sure everything is delivered or collected on time and projects run efficiently. She also manages the schedule for all of our technicians to ensure our team travels to different locations in the most efficient way to allow as many venues to gain their photobooth as soon as possible. She has been a huge part of the transportation for photobooths across Europe and in the Middle East.
Her favourite booth is the Heineken Experience in Amsterdam, it's easy to see why - a photobooth beer fridge, containing hundreds of Heinekens, the definition of cool.
Nerissa’s always been a rocker at heart; Shinedown, Blacktop Mojo and Those Damn Crows are on her playlist, but she’s a little nervous to play it in the office, she doesn’t think we’ll like it. Her home of Durban, South Africa is the best place in the world for Nerissa, the perfect mix of family and lots of sunshine brings her the most happiness and she tries to go over there when she can.
Ross Finlay
Photobooth Technician
One of our trusty technicians, Ross is a key part of the recipe to a beautiful photobooth, he plays a role in every part of the creation of a photobooth, from a wooden shell into a fully functional, unique photobooths which he then installs into a venue.
His other daily tasks include travelling across the country to fix, set up and test photobooths. One of his favourite parts of the job is modifying older booths, up-keeping them and upgrading them with newer technology to restore them to their highest quality.
His favourite booth is the custom photobooth inside of a Mini Cooper at Junkyard Golf in Newcastle, he was also pretty sentimental about his first installation in another country, Gameside in Barcelona, because it shows how far we've grown in such a short period of time.
Ross Kane
Founder
As the Founder of Snaparazzi, Ross focuses on the operational side of the business. As soon as you meet him, it’s clear that he’s the definition of a hands-on CEO. From team leadership, production planning, delivery and execution, booth efficiency, partner relationships, financial planning, customer service, you name it, Ross is involved.
Ross lives and breathes Snaparazzi, and it shows in his love for the excitement and challenge of growing the team and the brand. If you ask Ross which is his favourite photo booth of all time, he’ll tell you it is the very first one that was ever built, in his dad’s garage. Sentimental? Absolutely. No task is too small for Ross, whether that's onboarding new clients, helping deliver a photobooth, organising refills, or just catching up with a venue. He takes real pride in building an authentic team culture, being part of the day-to-day operations so he can support everyone in being the best they can be.
For Ross, it all comes back to the idea that at Snaparazzi, they believe in a good time and the potential that comes from something as simple as a photo.
Steve Barrass
Technical Director
Steve was one of the first super-techy people around here. He went full-time in 2017, but in truth, he has been around in some capacity since 2010. He oversees app development, device order provisioning, new tech research and day-to-day tech support.
In short, he makes sure that the photo booths take photos and that they are good ones at that. What he loves most about his role is the freedom to be creative with tech. Always looking for new solutions and finding ways to push the boundaries of what’s possible with a photo booth. His role allows him to continually improve Snaparazzi’s tech offerings while staying true to who they are.
If you spend some time with Steve and he happens to be in charge of Spotify, expect to be listening to Nine Inch Nails or Bonobo, maybe even a bit of Hans Zimmer. But you will very quickly realise that every booth has had Steve’s clever touch.
Taylor-Harrison Hesketh
Junior Marketing Executive
Taylor has grown up with Snaparazzi all of his life as the business has always been an important part of his family.

He loves the creativity that social media provides, doing what he loves whilst showing the world Snaparazzi’s growth and how we can benefit businesses globally.
Taylor solo-travelled across South East Asia and recommends the Philippines as his go to spot, the beaches beautiful and the people are the happiest and friendliest, but the best place in the world is the Riverside Stadium to watch Boro play footy!
