Meet Amina Dan-Sule: The Entrepreneur Redefining Photobooths at Events
Black Founders Network
An inclusive community for Black founders at all stages of their journeys
Amina Dan-Sule, CPA , is the visionary founder of Zakar Photobooth, an innovative company setting new standards in event entertainment and photography. From enhancing how guests interact at events to creating a franchising opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs, Zakar Photobooth is reshaping the traditional photobooth experience in ways that go beyond just taking photos.
Founded on September 6, 2023, Zakar Photobooth was built with a clear mission: to provide a luxurious and interactive photo experience that produces high-quality studio content at any event. “Our booth is perfect for any occasion—guaranteed to create treasured memories, entertain guests, and make your special event unforgettable,” says Amina.
Creating Treasured Memories at Every Event
Zakar Photobooth has carved a niche by offering a stylish and interactive experience that goes beyond just capturing moments. It blends the charm of traditional photobooths with modern luxury, creating an experience that guests won’t forget.
Whether it's a wedding, corporate event, or private party, Zakar Photobooth guarantees high-quality images and a fun experience for all attendees.
Amina, however, sees Zakar as more than just a photobooth service. She envisions it as a strategic tool for businesses. Branded photobooths, for example, can elevate a product launch or corporate gathering, creating a buzz and encouraging social sharing. This makes photobooths a fun and effective way to amplify brand messaging and foster engagement in professional settings. As Amina explains, “Photobooths aren’t just for entertainment; they can be used strategically by companies to connect with the audience and build relationships.”
A Franchise Model Empowering Students, Graduates and Immigrants
A key element of Amina’s business is her franchise model, designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs—especially students, recent graduates, and immigrants—find financial independence while building entrepreneurial skills as they assimilate the Canadian business culture.
Amina’s own journey as an immigrant student in Canada played a significant role in shaping her business philosophy.?

You don’t need to be a professional photographer to succeed in this business; there’s a clear path to follow,” says Amina, knowing firsthand how international students may struggle financially in their first few years.?
By offering a proven business model and comprehensive support system that leverages her experience as a CPA, Amina is bridging the gap for those who want to enter the entrepreneurial space but may not have the resources or knowledge to do so on their own.
Shaping the Future of Event Photography
Since its inception, Zakar Photobooth has celebrated several vital milestones, working at various corporate events, including Black History Month, the ‘For Women, by Women’ conference, and more recently, at BFN’s 3rd Anniversary. The company has been evolving with each event, as Amina continues to refine the service to offer an exceptional experience to corporate and individual clients.
When reflecting on Zakar’s growth, Amina notes that she is excited about connecting with more clients who share her vision of enhancing the guest experience at events. Her customer-centric approach focuses on delivering what she calls the “WOW experience—Warm, Optimal, Welcoming” – a philosophy that guides every aspect of her business, ensuring that each client walks away with memories to cherish.
Looking Ahead
