This was my second time visiting Fotolab. We loved it the first time last year but were disappointed in our most recent visit.
There were two main issues: the biggest being that the monitors reflecting the photos taken were not working very well. At times it didn’t work at all so it was very hard to see what the photo would look like or where we were positioned. This made it pretty hard to see what you were taking photos of, and we wasted time trying to just see if the photo was being taken (which sometimes it wasn’t!). You only get 20 minutes, and as other reviews mentioned, it passes by super fast, so with these technical difficulties it made a very frustrating experience with much less photos than we took last time. We felt that the whole point was that you got to take photos with the monitors, but the constant turning off of the monitors was a huge issue.
Our other complaint is that the photos that we got printed are way more washed out than...
Read moreAbsolutely love this place! I Recently visited Foto lab studios in 29th street Manhattan. My experience was 10 out of 10! From the moment you walk in , the customer service is great! We got there a bit early but was welcomed in right away. The space is spacious & clean . Even the bathroom was clean & tidy! They have two rooms for you to do your photo shoot in, complete with everything you need, props included. They also make it super easy for you to take care of it by yourself. With a touch of a button , that easy! I was so impressed ! It’s 20minutes & for an extra 15 minutes only 30$! Time just seems to fly by when you are enjoying yourself!! So it’s a great option! I definitely felt like a Barbie!!! Overall the cost was 80$ & it was worth it!! You get two prints at the end, & they are doing a promotion right now where you leave a google review & they’ll email you the photos. Check them out on your next NYC trip!!...
Read moreFotolab is a blast! Super easy to use, staff were helpful , and the photos turned out amazing (Awesome quality and lighting). Great for groups or couples! They carry a few props (fake flowers and stools) and a book of suggested poses.
Great value -$80 for 20 min session plus free prints (1 large and 2 small). 20 mins was more than enough time, we ran out of poses towards the end. We selected half/full body shots with white background. Staff came in when we were ready to adjust the equipment for half body shots. Very seamless. Apparently the staff told us that they are running a promotion now for a limited time. You can now get all your digital photos for free in exchange for some feedback, instead of paying an additional cost of $30. However if you decline, then do expect an additional charge for the digital copies. So definitely check it out before the promotion...
