Optional Add-ons
Full-body Color Portrait / Mounted Print Finish (+¥10,000)
Wet plate photography mainly focuses on upper-body portraits.
For those who would like to capture a full-body image or preserve their outfit, we offer an additional color photoshoot with a simple background.
This option is also recommended for those wearing kimono or dresses.
You will receive approximately 30 edited images, along with two 2L-size prints mounted on presentation boards. These will be delivered at a later date.
Pickup is available at the studio, or shipping can be arranged.
If you would like to add this option, please let us know at the time of booking, as preparation is required.
