Despite having selfies as our everyday way of capturing moments, people are getting excited to try self-shoot studios which recently gained popularity on Tiktok. We now have this kind of studio that is similar to the ones in South Korea where you get to manage the shutter.
It’s for the camera-shy, for those who want to take pictures at their own pace, for those who want to take pictures with their pets, for couples, for barkadas, and for family. Most of all, it’s IG-worthy and *aesthetic*.
Hop on the trend! Here’s a list of self-shoot studios to visit and book around the Metro:
