<This seems very strange advice. Every single booth slide I have seen has been photographed at a show, and in my experience the ONLY purpose of the booth shot is to prove that you can put together a good both at a show.
Putting up a booth elsewhere doesn't count for much. If you set up your booth in artificial circumstances and artificial light, it will look artificial and the juror(s) will not take it seriously at all. Far better
to show your booth at a show, even with a few customers in the booth.
Otherwise your advice is right on target, especially concerning using simple backgrounds which do not interfere with the work, and NEVER including slides of the artist working.
The general objective of the slides is to show the work as effectively as possible with no distractions. Obviously that is not the objective of the booth slide.

have to say that I disagree. The others I was jurying with were quite frustrated with the booth slide. All agreed that the booth slide needs to, as you said about work slides, "show the work as effectively as possible with no distrations". Poorly lighting, people in the way, and clutter kept us from viewing the work.
I'd like to hear from others who have juried shows on what they want from a booth slide.

When I've juried, I like to see how the booth actually looks at the show.
I've been to enough to know when one looks good, is presented well, and the
work hangs together, in a glance. When it's actually been taken at a show,
you pretty much know the artist has done a show, and can put on a show.
When it's done in someone's studio, who's to say whether or not it's
actually their booth...or that that's what will actually appear at the show.
Just my thoughts...take them as seriously as my recent track record at
getting into shows...like 1 in 10!
