Do NOT go to this place!!! It's a rip-off. I tried to get a CV portrait taken here one day and it was a terrible experience. Normally, I wouldn't go to a cheesy portrait place to get a picture taken, but I was in a pinch. I needed a CV portrait to submit to something in record time. I'm an Art Director with professional retouching and studio photography experience. Unfortunately, I do not have access to a studio space here in Stockholm, so I couldn't do it myself without exorbitant cost. However, I thought that since this place is in my neighborhood and it wasn't the most important picture of my life, I could get a bunch of images taken, pick the one I least hate and retouch it myself. All I would've needed to make sure of at the time of visit is that he had an ok camera and decent portrait lighting setup. We did not even get to that point. I didn't even walk more than five feet inside the studio. I only got to take off my jacket while telling the photographer (I'm assuming his name is Björn) what I wanted. He made it very clear immediately that what I wanted was not going to happen. He said that he would not give me an unretouched raw image. Period. He said that I should've called ahead and asked before coming. I was shocked! First of all... why would I need to call ahead? Your a photographer, all the images you shoot are raw and unretouched at the beginning. I was actually just asking him to hand me the files directly after the shoot instead of processing them (in other words, asking him to do less work). It's not crazy of me to think that I could pay for a photoshoot and get the files I want afterwards! What the hell? Come to find out that this guy wanted to charge me an additional 240:- (about 25 USD) for every image. Just so he could put his "artistic vision" on each one! No thanks. I don't want any cheesy artificial blurring and low quality effects that most portrait retouching studios like this do. Just check out his website... he totally does it! Maybe he just wanted to milk me for more cash? Hmmm. What do you think? I asked him if he could've made an exception (to what I thought was an extremely unreasonable rule) because I was a retoucher who has actually worked on quite a few fashion and portrait images prior to our little conversation. I even name dropped a few important people I have retouched for advertising purposes, to give an idea of my talent level (and to kinda stick it to him a bit, yeah). He went full diva! He said no, because he was the photographer and basically that was that. I understand taking pride in your work, maybe more than most, but come on! I'm paying you for a service here. You are not a fine artist here, you are not an A-list fashion photographer either. You take CV portraits. Not fashionable portrait photography intended for a top gallery or high-end fashion magazine either. Get real. The studio itself looked small and sad. It looked like the kind of place where art with a capital A goes to die! Why on earth would the a small time portrait photographer have delusions of grandeur to this degree? It's unreal. Thank you for making me waste my morning getting ready for you just to serve me a big ole' plate of diva attitude for our lunchtime meeting. Because of that hostility, I am now wasting more time on this review. With that realization...Bye Felicia! read more
