About Us
Studio SEOUL was established on February 2022 and officially opened on the 3rd day of March 2022. With the goal and mission to provide quality self-photo and concept studio services to its clients, Studio SEOUL can be considered one of the trusted emerging selfie studios in the country based on the number of daily bookings it recorded since its operation.
The Core Mission
As a start-up, Studio SEOUL aims to provide a quality and safe space for clients to experience both selfie and concept studios. Being managed by professionals, the goal is to provide not only quality photos but a memorable, safe, and happy experience to clients.
Background
Studio SEOUL was conceptualized late 2020 by the CEO who is a professional photographer and film maker. By collaborating with people in the Multimedia Arts and Photography industries, Studio SEOUL was established. Studio SEOUL was inspired from Korean-based self-photo studios but innovations were added to provide unique and great photography service.
Studio SEOUL continues to provide self-photo and concept studio services since its opening date. In a short span of operations, it was already featured in online vlogs/magazines and studio reviews. In the future, the studio aims for service expansion and to further widen its network for collaboration.
