Sihyunhada Photo Studio | Gangnam

[Must Read] Peak Season Notice

• Sihyunhada is a photo studio popular among Koreans and also experiences a surge in bookings from foreigners during peak seasons, leading to numerous cancellations and difficulties with realtime booking synchronization. 
• Among these, the Gangnam branch is especially popular, making reservations during the peak month of April particularly challenging.
• Due to varying prices across different ranches and photographers, tranferring bookings to another branch is not possible. 
• To ensure a smooth reservation process, we recommend making bookings at other branches throughout Seoul (other branches are popular too!). 
• Additionally, given the difficulty in securing reservations, please regularly check your email for updates on your booking status after making an advance payment. 
• We ask for your understanding and cooperation, as reservations for well-known Korean brands are inherently challenging for foreigners. 

<Photography Guidelines>

• Your visit will proceed as follows: Arrive on time for your reservation > Fill out a consultation card > Personal preparation before the shoot > Shooting and editing > Collect your package > Leave the store. 
• The start time for shooting may vary depending on pre-shoot preparations (consultation, personal preparation), and the shooting and editing process will take approximately 30 minutes.
• The reservation includes 1 photo shoot for 1 person and 1 retouched photo. Consultation proceeds on-site.
• Hair, makeup, and clothing services are not provided.
• Partial nudity shots are not available.

<Usage Guidelines>

• Rather than reserving on the day of the visit, we recommend making reservations in advance to ensure availability. Due to our system, it is difficult to change schedules, process refunds, or provide same-day package reservations. 
• Please keep in mind that if you visit the studio before opening time or during the lunch break, there won't be an available waiting area.
• Due to the small space, only one extra person may accompany you.
• There is not a separate time for you to change clothes or fix your hair/makeup, so please do so beforehand or arrive early to get ready before the consultation.
• Once your reservation is confirmed, you will receive a voucher with guidelines and precautions. Please be sure to review it before your visit.
• The entire process is conducted through 1:1 conversations, and after the photo shoot and results have been finalized, changes cannot be made.
• While most photographers have basic English proficiency, a translation app might be used for a more accurate consultation.
• For visa photo shoots, please bring the specific photo regulations of your country.

<Late Policy>

• There are many reservations lined up back to back. If you are late, your photo shoot and retouching session will be rushed in order to accommodate for the next reservation.
• If you are late, there may be additional costs for the retouching process in the case that it needs to be finished outside of your allotted reservation time.
• Cash payment is difficult. Please bring a card that can be used for payment.

<Additional Guidelines>

• Any additional products, such as albums or extra prints, can be purchased on-site.
• For a smooth photo shoot process, we recommend checking examples of facial expressions, poses, and background colors through the Sihyunhada website or Instagram (@sihyunhada) beforehand.
• Sihyunhada provides services for consultation, photography, and editing only. They do not offer outfits or makeup services.
• The JPG file of your finalized photo will contain the signature and logo of the photographer and is provided digitally in high resolution (300dpi).
• If you would like to purchase a JPG file of your photo without a logo, you can pay 50% of the photo shoot price on-site.
• All rights to the portrait photo and copyrights for photography belong to Recorders Academy ㈜레코더즈. Any commercial use and secondary processing is not allowed without prior consent.
