About Photomatic
Founded in 2018 by photographer Hong Seung-hyun, Photomatic arose from a simple idea: Why not let individuals take their own portraits instead of relying on a photographer? This unique approach has led to expertise in creating specialized lighting and settings, ensuring that anyone can capture their most genuine moments effortlessly. Since its introduction, Photomatic’s user-friendly service has garnered love from celebrities in Korea, including global icons like BTS. In 2024, the service expanded to Japan, bringing innovative photo experiences to a broader audience.
