The Story Behind Photomatic
Photomatic launched in 2018 when its founder, photographer Hong Seung-hyun, envisioned a self-service portrait photography experience. With specially arranged lighting and atmospheric designs, anyone can easily capture their best moments with just a push of a remote shutter. The concept quickly gained popularity in South Korea, embraced by many celebrities, including BTS. In 2024, the company partnered with Kitamura Holdings to introduce this innovative service to Japan.
