PRE-SHOOT

A self-portrait photo session at FEEL THE FRAME is a unique photography experience where you capture professional-quality images of yourself, without a photographer present.
The camera is hidden behind a mirror - as you look at yourself in the mirror, the camera captures exactly what you see. Using a tiny wireless remote control, you take photos at your own pace while seeing your reflection.
The studio is equipped with professional lighting and you will have complete privacy during your shoot. You can take as many photos as you like. All images are color-graded and delivered to your private online gallery the same day.
It's photography reimagined - professional results with a completely personal approach.

You won’t need to have a photographer, FEEL THE FRAME Studio is a self-shoot studio space.
The camera is hidden behind a mirror - as you look at yourself in the mirror, the camera captures exactly what you see. Using a tiny wireless remote control, you take photos while seeing your reflection.
We have an outstanding lighting setup that currently no other self-portrait studios are offering. However, please note that we are shooting with studio strobes that are synched to our camera only. That means that bringing a photographer with their own camera you won’t benefit from our lighting as it won’t fire to an external camera.
-
Create a playlist that sets the mood for the shoot, there's a speaker in the studio for your music. You can bring different outfits or create variety in your looks with quick changes like putting your hair up or applying a bright lipstick mid-shoot. Consider saving some inspiration photos and poses references in advance.
But honestly? It's perfectly fine to come totally unprepared and just go with the flow. A self-photoshoot is meant to be a fun and effortless experience. We'd love you to spend some quality time with yourself; a self-portrait studio is a perfect environment for self-love, self-discovery and self-appreciation.
-
You will be shooting on a backdrop meaning your street shoes will inevitably leave marks that will show up in your final images. We strongly recommend bringing a spare pair of clean shoes with you. For best results it is recommended to tape the soles of your shoes with tape. You can do this at home or use masking tape we provide at the studio. Please note that our editing process does not include removing shoe marks on the backdrop.

We don’t offer hair and make-up services as part of our package. If you’d like recommendations for local businesses where you can get your hair and make-up done prior to the shoot, drop us a line at hello@feeltheframe.studio

The camera captures your full body shots by default. After your shoot, you’ll receive high-resolution JPEGs (approx. 13MB each). This means you can easily crop any image into a headshot, half-body, or portrait using the editor on your phone or computer — without significant quality loss.
POST-SHOOT
-
The photos you'll get will be high quality images, like those taken by a professional photographer during a photo shoot. Your images will be full body shots in high-resolution JPEG format of approximately 7 MB per image which allows for cropping without significant quality loss which can be easily done in standard photo editor of your phone. The photos will be well-suited for on-line usage and photo books.
-
Absolutely not. We will never share your images with anyone except with you. The images you see on our website and Social media have been taken during promo photo sessions. Also, your images are not viewed by the team. The editing process is automated and we usually only preview first couple of images to fine-tune and make sure everything looks good, then rest is processed in batch.
We store your images for the period of 1 week to allow you plenty of time to download them. Thereafter your photos are permanently deleted from our server.
-
All images you took during your session will be uploaded to a private gallery and shared with you via email within 24 hours from your shoot.

You will receive all images you took during you photo session.
