Place info
Hello, this is Hi, Soo, a natural light rental studio located in Munjeong-dong, Songpa-gu.
Studio Hi, Soo operates with the mission of "You Complete Me," believing that the space is completed by those who show interest and visit.
The space of Hi, Soo is divided into two main areas: a white-toned living room that enhances natural light and a hotel room with a modern yet antique atmosphere that lets in natural light.
Both spaces are very close to a 158° south-facing direction, allowing for diverse natural light from sunrise to late afternoon.
The hotel room and living room each have various photo spots, and they are used for a wide range of purposes including clothing shopping malls, underwear, beauty products, lookbooks, personal snaps and photo shoots, body profiles, interviews, YouTube, influencer shoots, bridal shower shoots, and more.
Many people utilize the space for various purposes, allowing for a wide range of shooting concepts.
For those doing self-shoots, we have 2 full-length mirrors with square frames, 1 portable full-length mirror (120cm wide), 2 antique oval full-length mirrors suitable for the hotel room, and 2 irregular full-length mirrors.
We have a variety of full-length mirrors available, and we will set them up according to your shooting concept upon reservation.
Instead of keeping the studio in the same appearance, we provide various props to allow you to shoot new concepts each time you visit.
When making a reservation, please let us know what kind of shoot you will be doing, what concept you will be pursuing, and what products you will be shooting. We enjoy discussing and suggesting ideas, so feel free to reach out.
If you see a concept you like from our studio's Instagram @studio.hisoo, you can capture it and send it to us.
Currently, we are running the Hi, Soo "Hello, Soo" event, so please check our Instagram posts and participate actively.

We have an elevator, but there is a half-flight of stairs on the first floor. If you have difficulty using the stairs, please let us know in advance so we can ensure a comfortable experience on the reservation day.

* The park in front of the studio features beautiful cherry blossom paths in spring, comparable to Yeouido, but is located in a residential area, making it peaceful. The cherry blossom trees are low, making it great for portrait photography with the blossoms. Each season offers its own charm, such as autumn leaves and snowy scenery, making outdoor shoots possible.
