Mono Studio

I needed a passport photo ASAP because I was on a time crunch! The whole session and printing took less than 15 minutes! Not to mention the photos looked great and he even touched it up! Definitely reccommend it if you need to develop good photos fast! P. s. its in the back section of a swapmeet but don’t let the location appearrance fool you, the man is nice!

This place is amazing! If you want a personalized experience, go here. The photographer/​owner will work with you till he gets the perfect shot. One that you’re happy with. Then he will retouch it for you, included in the price which is VERY reasonable. From what I saw in the studio (which has moved from the Grand Central market) The photographer does family photos, baby pictures, and senior photos (which is what I did when he was at the market)
But my point. I 100% recommend :)

Tucked away in the basement of the historic Grand Central Market, between the public toilets and a pirate .99 Cents Store, is this gem of a studio. From what I can tell, only one gentlemen works here, and I have no idea who the target demographic is for his services. But boy can this guy take a picture. Three coworkers and I stopped by for a photo to memorialize a significant work accomplishment. The results exceeded anything we could have hoped for. After we chose the background and props, and our general orientation, the photographer took care of the rest. He made sure every detail was perfect, from the angles of our faces to the overall composition of the photo. He took about 16 snaps, of which the last one in which he had the most input was clearly the best. He then retouched the photo, and 15 minutes later we had beautiful 8×10 print. Trust this guy. You’ll get a straight-​up lovely photo. Now, I wouldn’t go here for headshots to break into the movie business, but for the location, price, convenience, and service, 5 stars.
