In my experience at the time, edited photographs took three months from Wio Studio, two weeks from Flynn Studio, and two days from Neverland Studio.

I liked Neverland’s editing, colors and body tones: a soft glow that felt elegant and glamorous. Wio’s editing felt a little strong to me. Flynn would accommodate detailed requests, but in both earlier shoots, having a photographer set the poses sometimes felt slightly artificial.

At a self-service studio, posing freely alone seemed to make my expression and posture softer. Perhaps I had simply become more familiar with posing after two previous shoots.

For someone going to a self-service studio without prior experience, finding poses might be difficult. In that situation, I think even one prop, such as a chair, can help.

I finally felt a little relieved. It had been a tiring day, mentally and physically, and seeing photographs I liked lifted my mood.
