Seoul, South Korea - ID Photo Shoot Experience by Sam Studio

I love this studio. The photographer was very professional with our work and it was easy to find. the price is right compared to paying $300+ in the US.

Photos professionally taken. Booked a session through Klook to take passport photos. Make your way to the building just before appointed time. It’s on the 5th floor. I was in and out within 20 mins including changing, photo shoot and editing. The photographer and the receptionist both speak English so communication was not an issue. They provide white shirts, ties and blazers. If you want to bring your clothes you may. No make up provided but there is a vanity table for you to do touch up or tidy up your hair if necessary. They also do photo shoots for employment and personal. Very happy with the results. Worth the $35 I paid to Klook. You get 8 passport sized hard copies and a soft copy sent to your email.

It is my first time try out the photo taking service in Seoul. The overall experience was well above my expectation. The receptionist (and also the make up artist) is very nice, make me feel relaxed and the make up is complete within a short period of time. The photographer is experienced, he took few shots and let me pick the one. Afterwards he retouch the photo and printed out the picture. Highly recommended. Just the location is not easy for me to find as a first time visit.

The makeup artist does the makeup carefully and will communicate with you in simple English what kind of hairstyle you want, what color lipstick you want, etc. After taking a quick photo, the photographer retouches the pictures on the spot, asks you which one you want, and then fixes it very quickly. You can choose photos with big or small heads, there will be 8 photos. If you want both large and small heads, you can add 15,000 won, and there are 16 cards in total.

It was my first time to have my ID photo taken and I purchased a package with half make-up and hair set. The make-up artist was very skilled and the make-up was very refreshing. The photographer is also very professional. He took a lot of photos to choose from and repaired them quickly. It’s worth a try. The most surprising thing is that this photo studio appeared in the Korean drama "Goblin"! The address is also easy to find. You will see this building as soon as you exit Exit 11 of Jonggak Station. The photo studio is on 5/F. The names on the ground floor and exterior walls of the building are in Korean, so it is easier to miss!

The service process was very efficient. As soon as I arrived at the reception, I was immediately given clothes of the right size to wear, and then put on makeup and hair immediately. After that, the photographer took about 30 photos, then selected a few, and finally selected one for retouching. The retouching was good.

Two people can book two consecutive time slots and go at the same time. The makeup artist will finish one makeup and change it to the next. It can be completed in about an hour, so there is no need to waste time waiting. The picture quality is not very good. So I asked if I could give someone a higher price, and I was given one later, which is worthy of praise👍🏻

All the staffs in Sam studio are pretty nice! The photographer would teach you how to pose clearly. After taking photos, the photographer would need you to have a seat next to him in order to see and check the details on the final photo. This experience is great, and front desk stuff is nice as well. Sam Studio is close to metro Jongga Sta. Need to walk Exit 11. when you take escalator to the ground, the Sam studio in in your left side. Go inside the building as pictures I attached, and take elevator to 5 floor. will see Sam studio office.

in and out in 30min - Sam was very friendly and fun to let me sit beside him while he edit and gave some suggestions. the studio has some basic top and jacket for the photoshoot. whole there us no make up service, there is a corner for u if you wish to fix your hair or makeup. really fun and highly recommended!

Although the boss's English is not particularly good, he uses friendly and easy-to-understand body language to inform you about photo editing, posing, etc., and the boss also provides convenience for placing items. It is a good shop worth recommending! !
