THIS IS HOW
SELF. WORKS.

Start by choosing between our Essential and Creative self portrait experiences.

Essential includes our Pure White Backdrop. Creative gives you more flexibility with available colored backdrops, creative setups, and specialty options.

Both experiences start with 30 minutes. If you need more time, choose Make It 60 Minutes or Make It 2 Hours during booking.

Arrive 5–10 minutes early so you can check in and be ready to start on time.

If you're planning multiple looks, arrive wearing your first outfit. The faster you change, the more time you have to shoot.

Hair and makeup should be completed before arrival. Getting ready in the studio uses your reserved time.

Your professional camera, lighting, backdrop, wireless remote, and live-view screen are prepared before your session begins.

There is no camera setup to learn and no lighting equipment to figure out. Walk in and focus on creating.

A SELF. studio assistant is available if you need help with the camera, remote, equipment, or setup.

Your photos appear on the live-view screen while you shoot.

Check your pose. Fix your hair. Adjust your outfit. Try another angle. If you don't like something, change it and take another photo.

You can see what you're creating while you're creating it.

Outfit changes are unlimited during your reserved studio time.

Change clothes, switch your pose, bring your own props, or use available studio props to create different looks during the same session.

Outfit changes are part of your booked time, so come prepared and plan ahead.

Your session includes 2 complimentary 5×7 prints.

The final 10 minutes of your reserved session are used to select the two photos you want printed.

If you don't want prints, you can opt out and use the full session time to keep shooting.

Additional 5×7 prints are available for $10 each.

You keep every unedited photo you take during your session.

Your private online gallery is emailed within 24 hours so you can view and download your images.

Your gallery remains available for 3 months. Download and back up your photos before it expires.
