This Celebrity Photo Experience Allows You To Take Professional-Looking Photos On Your Cell Phone
Get your Instagrams ready!
Everyone loves a good photo booth.
But celebs take photo booths to the next level.
Their "photo booths" are more of a "photo experience" with full-on set design, professional lighting, and photographers.
Casino Royale! Happy Birthday John!!!!
So, what if you could experience that, too?
The Scenario Studio is an incredibly unique photography experience that features eight different photoshoot sets. The best part? Their team of experts shows you how to take professional-looking photos on your cell phone.
All of the sets are original designs by world-famous photographer and set designer John Ganun, who is the mastermind behind some of the most popular photo sets created for A-list celebrities and Fortune 500 companies.
BuzzFeed spoke with John who said all of his sets are designed to make you look good. "Your photos will look almost as good as if I would have shot them on a pro set."
"It's a photography studio and people aren't going to really understand that until they get there. I am doing individual sets and each set is a professional photography set. I am making specific lighting choices and giving specific directions to help you take a really good picture," John added.
Guests will first enter into an interactive test-shoot area where they will learn tips and tricks for taking the best photos on their phone. "There will be a 16-foot-wide makeup mirror, all lit up in lights, called 'last looks.' These are the last looks before your photoshoot begins," said John.
"On some sets you have to overexpose or underexpose a little bit and we have a list of two or three little adjustments you make for each set, depending on what smart phone you have. You might be surprised at how good your smartphone photos can look if I just help you for one minute," John said. "It's going to look almost as good as a magazine photo and, in some cases, just as good. I did one last month where I lit it properly and I wouldn't have known it wasn't a strobe shoot."
One set in the experience is inspired by John's 1950s school room photoshoot for Katy Perry. "We will have paper airplanes you can throw and paper wads. You can just have fun misbehaving in class," John said.
Another is inspired by the popular casino set he created for John Legend's 40th birthday.

There's also an upside-down set that I, of course, had to try out.
In addition, there will be an old Victorian mansion set in shades of grey. "It looks like you're in an old black and white movie," said John. As for the other sets? Well, John wants those to be a surprise.
A big question for guests will be, "What do I wear?" John said muted or neutral colors, like black and grey, will translate well on all sets. "Two of the sets will also have a couple jacket options you can wear," he added.
The Scenario Studio is located in downtown Los Angeles and the experience accommodates 10 guests at a time. "It's a more sophisticated, more adult-like experience. You can get drinks at Grand Central Market and walk anywhere within that establishment, so we encourage people to bring their drinks down to The Scenario Studio," said John.
The pop-up will be open from September 7th to November 4th underneath Grand Central Market. Tickets are available for $29.
