Do you feel relaxed in front of a camera and a photographer?
Well, we don't!
Well, we don't!
That is why we created a studio where you don't need any of that.
We've hidden a professional camera behind the mirror and ensured it takes excellent pictures every time you press a button.
How does it work?
- LookForget about the camera.
It's just you and your reflection.1 - PoseUse a chair or a fan, come closer or sit on the floor — feel free to explore yourself and try different things.2
- ClickClick to capture what you see in the mirror.3
- RepeatYou can take as many pictures
as you'd like.4
How does it work?
Once you are done, we will send you all your photos within 20 minutes.
(unless you take thousands of photos, then we'll need more time!)

Clothes
All-black outfits might blend into photos, especially in black and white. Try mixing in some lighter colours or fun patterns for a standout look.
Other than that, you can wear whatever you like. Feel free to try different outfits. The more, the better.
You can be naked if you want to — we don't have CCTV in the studio, and no one will enter during your session.
We don’t look at your photos without approval (though you must know we technically can).

Shoes
Read the following question.
We don’t allow street shoes in the studio as they can ruin your photos (and our background).
We recommend being barefoot or in socks.
You can also take spare shoes with you, but please wash the soles thoroughly at home; we might ask you to cover them with paper tape.

We prepared detailed instructions on the separate page here.
One full session is 40 minutes; on average, that’s enough to try 3-4 outfits. If you want to try more, we’d advise you to book a second slot.
15-minute sessions will suit 1 outfit (or 2 if you are very fast and know exactly how you want to pose).

You can bring whatever prep and whoever you need (artist, stylist, photographer, journalist, stage manager...) as long as that doesn't damage the studio.
We have a white background easily damaged by claws, so we have to be super-very-extra precautious. Please get in touch with us to make sure that it will be possible.
FAQ
General
Working with colour is super complicated.
Everyone likes their photos differently — some prefer cooler tones, others want them warmer, greener, or bluer...
Getting the colours just right for hundreds of photos isn't something you can do on autopilot — professional photographers charge £10-15 for one coloured photo.
Black and white is straightforward and timeless, and almost every photo looks brilliant. It keeps things easy but still captures all the fab moments.
Do you still want to add some colours? We can do that for an extra fee.

Technically, we have access to your photos, but the system is designed in a way that ensures privacy: your photos are processed and sent to you through an algorithm with no human eyes involved.
We will delete/erase/remove (todo: select one verb) your pictures automatically after 1 week, starting the day after the photo shoot. (todo is a joke)

You can ask the administrator to show you results whenever you want, but we suggest not doing so.
Photos you receive will be very close to what you see in the mirror, so don’t waste time verifying the result — try more poses instead!

Please be aware that our studio is on the second floor, accessible via two staircases. We know, it's very frustrating :(

Photos
On average, our clients take about 350 photos per 40-minute session (with a top score of 2043).
We will email you all of them with a link. You will have one week to download them.
Up to 2% of all photos might appear dark — that is a rare flashlight glitch.

We aim to send all photos to your email within 20 minutes after the end of the session.
It might be longer if
— You take many photos — no judgment here; we'll just need more time to process them!
— You order coloured photos as well, which will take twice as long to process.
Since opening in March 2024, we have never missed sending photos within the same day they were taken.

There are two options:
1. We can process all photos automatically (we still won't look at them), but we cannot guarantee that the colour and the light will be like what you want.
That would cost £10 for all of your photos and take up to 1 day. You can book it before the session or get in touch within 7 days after.
You can see samples of how we do it here: youphoto.co.uk/coloured-photos.
2. We can connect you with a professional photographer who will process photos that you choose manually for £10-15 per photo, depending on the amount of work you need.

Sure! That would cost £5. Book as an add-on before the session or get in touch within 7 days after.
Unfortunately, we can't now.
