About Photomatic

TAKE YOUR MEMORY – Preserve your authentic self, as you are today

Photomatic’s self-photo service began in 2018, inspired by its founder and photographer Hong Seung-hyeon’s idea: "What if people could take their own portrait photos instead of relying on a professional photographer?"

Equipped with professionally designed lighting and spaces infused with Photomatic’s unique aesthetic, users can capture their best moments effortlessly by simply pressing a remote connected to the camera. The brand’s distinctive concept and high-quality experience gained popularity among Korean celebrities and has been loved by numerous artists, including BTS, since its inception.

In 2024, Photomatic began collaboration with the Kitamura Holdings Group and officially launched in Japan, delivering a new photography experience to Japanese customers.
