"Selfie Studio" in Korea Changes the Definition of Photoshoot

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Selfies are a big part of life for Korean people, especially for those in their 20s. In pursuit of the perfect selfie, young Koreans buy nigh countless selfie-related products, with selfie sticks, “fish-eye” lens filters, and tripods becoming bestsellers for online retailers. However, a camera on a selfie stick alone cannot make a perfect selfie; you need a perfect background, too!

To satisfy the need for the selfie-friendly backgrounds, an agency in Korea has opened a studio fully reserved for selfie-takers. Life Studio is a prefab studio where hundreds of photoshoot walls are set up for visitors to put together their perfect selfies.

From simple solid color backgrounds to sanctuary-like photo booths decorated with plants and flowers, the wide variety of photo walls available at the “selfie studio” ensure that there’s something for everyone. Professional lightings and tripods are also provided, as well as props to make your pictures more unique; all that’s missing is the photographer and the camera.

Life Studio is being held temporarily at convention centers located around the peninsula. Currently, the studios are available at two locations, namely Kintex in Ilsan and Yeosu Expo in Yeosu.










I'm not really a selfie person, but I think it's a cute idea. For couple pics or taking silly pics with friends. Or photographers getting some practice. Probably cheaper than paying $30 to take pics in a swimming pool of giant sprinkles at the Museum of Ice Cream wtf OP you're lactose intolerant you don't fucking need the ice cream whatever I'm low key looking forward to it.

I think that's pretty cool, and at the same time the focus on self and needing the perfect presentation of self on online media sorta scares me.

cute but i think who's taking yr picture/what kind of camera used is more important

[chibi-rei.livejournal.com]

True. But it depends on the skill of the photographer too. A skilled/pro photographer can do better with an average camera compared to amateurs with expensive equipment. *shrug* It's all relative, I suppose.

This is very cool and extra on the one hand, on the other hand it's scaring me.

I'd go for kicks, but Yeosu is pretty far. Ilsan too, but at least it's near Seoul. Meh.
