Studio 2000

It’s fine, fast, courteous service. Nothing amazing nor especially cheap. Rates are posted and I guess they’ve been raised. I went may 2016 and posted rates were two photos for $ 15, four for $ 25, and extra fees for digital files. Also $ 5 fee if you need to print anything from a computer (if you are applying for a Chinese visa there are places in the visa office building to print, $ 3 for the first page and $ 1 each page thereafter, and photocopies are 25 cents/​page). The best thing about Studio 2000 if you’re applying for a visa is the parking lot that they validate for, so just walk over to take care of your visa after you get your photos and you won’t have to deal with the street parking and periodically having to feed a meter. So if you’re also applying for a visa the convenience is a good deal.

Very kind people. As soon as they’re done with one customer they attend the next with the most genuine smile. It was a…5 minutes walk in session for me today getting my passport pictures taken. It was 10+ tax AND they validate parking. Great people here.

My partner and I took head shots for our office website at Studio 2000, and had a great experience. The studio was clean, professional, courteous and reasonably priced. We made an appointment ahead of time and we started the photo shoot right on time. Numerous shots were taken to ensure that we would have a good number to select a final shot from. The photographer and assistants took their time and we never felt rushed. We stayed for about an hour all together. They were very helpful with selecting our final shots, and touched up the final selection before sending it to us via email. The turn around time was about 3 business days. We’ll definitely be back for more photos soon!

No longer such a great deal. $ 15 for two passport-​sized photos and $ 25 for four. Staff is really friendly and photos are ready in about 10 minutes, but the prices aren’t what they once were.

yep! They are great! You can be in and out in 5 mins. 15 dollars for 2 photos.

Attention! This place is no longer offer 4 passport photos for $ 10, now is $ 15 for 2. I asked for upload the digit one to US gov website to make sure it is valid. However the staff didn’t agree to do that unless I pay another $ 30 to buy the digit one. Disappointed.

If you need passport photos this is the place to go. You will be in and out in 15 minutes and parking is validated. Don’t go anywhere else: I went to CVS first and wasted $ 13 for 2 pbotos. Studio 2000 gives you 4 photos, neatly cut for $ 10.90.
Seriously, this is the place to go.

I dont write reviews but my experience here was DISGUSTING I had to write one.
Came in here with a non-​Korean speaking friend who needed a digital passport photo. What I thought to be quick and simple procedure turned out to be a big EMBARRASSMENT as I witnessed the most UNPROFESSIONAL and DISHONEST business practice I have ever seen.
We told them we only needed a digital copy and these were the prices that they originally told us:
$ 10 for 2 photos and for 4 physical prints
$ 30 for 2 photos and only ONE digital copies by email
Doesn’t it seem counter intuitive that the prints, which require special photograph paper and ink, are 3X cheaper than the digital copies which require nothing? After reading the positive reviews for this place, we were not too concerned about the exaggerated prices, although we found other studios that provided digital passport photos at a fraction of the cost. We decided to take the photos at this studio because we expected easy and professional service as stated by other reviews. But we were wrong.
The photographer seemed to be in her 50s and I assume that she was the owner. She took no longer than 10 seconds to take two shots of my friend. When my friend asked her if he could take extra 1 or 2 more photos, since we were the only customers there at the time and they did not seem busy, so that he can choose the best out of them, the photographer smirked at us and said: «this is not a volunteering center.» She could have said this in a polite way that it would be an additional charge. Rude.
Once my friend paid the exaggerated and ridiculous price of $ 30 for ONE DIGITAL COPY out of the 2 photos he took, another lady (in her mid 20s) emailed him the photo. We expected to get a full resolution photo that we should get from a «PROFESSIONAL» photo studio, however, when my friend opened the photo, the resolution was so heavily lowered that any photoshop would make the photo look broken. It was obvious that they had lowered the quality before sending is the photo. The photo was not even 1MB. The quality of the photo for the price we paid was so mediocre that we questioned why not just set up a studio at home and take a photo with an iPhone, which would still have better quality than what we received. Hilarious.
We asked the lady why the photo that she had sent us was not in the original resolution and then she tells us bluntly that we needed to pay an extra $ 50 if we wanted the FULL, original resolution. She did NOT mention this prior to our payment.
This was totally ridiculous and once we started arguing with them why she had not told us this before, the lady just rolled her eyes and gave us attitude. She then started talking to the other woman very rudely of us in Korean, and I guess she did not realize that I spoke Korean at that time. She began to raise her voice which was UNNECESSARY AND UNPROFESSIONAL, and that led to my friend raising his voice once he realized the situation would not be resolved. Then, the woman (probably the owner) began raising her voice and tried to make us to leave without receiving what we had paid for.
To give the benefit of the doubt, I will assume that there must have been some miscommunication on both parties. Rather than trying to resolve the issue as any just business would do, this business literally tried to kick us out after receiving our payment in an act of blatant robbery.
**tldr;
On a surprising side note, what I realized from this ORDEAL is that if you are NOT a Korean speaker, definitely AVOID this place. As the owner regretfully sent the original, full-​sized resolution file to my friend, she said to me in Korean; «I am only doing this for you because you are a Korean speaker.» Regardless of what language one speaks, are you not supposed to treat your customers with the proper service that was promised and agreed upon by you and the customer? This business clearly failed to do so. As a Korean American, I was ultimately embarrassed for these two individuals that have tarnished the reputation of korean businesses for my friend.
Please keep your business professional and honest.

Can’t believe how bad and fake personality people here. They have a best trick to take your money. Not honest and rude people.

I had a worst experience in my life in this place. People in this studio were RUDE, IRRESPONSIBLE, and UNPROFESSIONAL either. They’ve changed their words before and after contract and tried to fool the customer by using inarticulate words in the contract. When we demanded an explanation, they’ve admitted that there had been a miscommunication in the contract, but said that they are still not responsible for anything at all. Moreover, the owner of the studio came out and told her employers to send us back. In other word, she literally tried to kick her customers out when she knows that we spent our whole morning to get ready for this picture day (that’s been contracted a week ago!) with hundreds of dollars spent for our hair, dress, and everything!!!
We just waled out after we found another studio immediately with half the price of this studio with better offer in 3 minutes of researching in mobile. The saled price this studio offered for a family picture in size around 16“x24″ was about $ 600 with a frame, with all other pics in a CD, but we did get to have about 20“x30″ family picture with a frame+ 4 other pictures «PRINTED» and «FRAMED» with a similar price.
Again, the worst thing is that this owner actually did tell her customers to go back home when she saw her customers dressed up with all the hair setup just for this picture day. RUDE, IRRESPONSIBLE, and UNPROFESSIONAL.
Just spend 3 minutes to research for another studio for much better experience in your life.

Me and my husband stopped here for passport size photos… i don’t want to go thru all the detail but the customer service was one star, Unfortunately.

Fast and easy to get passport photos! $ 10.90 for 4 photos which is a great deal since I got 2 photos at CVS a few months ago for like $ 15…

The Chinese Consulate’s Office is 2 – 3 blocks away from Studio 2000, making this a very convenient stop if you are ever in need of passport photos. I was able to get in and out in about 10 minutes with 4 passport photos for $ 10.90. The staff is also obvious exports at this because they were knowledgeable about photo requirements for various VISAs and Passport applications.
Parking, while generally a problem in k-​town, was not an issue here. There is a parking lot that Studio 2000 validates for. I highly recommend this!

Not a good exprience here

Their service was awesome and it is quite obvious that they are experts in what they do. I was out of the place with an excellent photo in less than 10 minutes. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good photographer. :)

I took passport photos today and received 4 photos for $ 10.90. The photographer was very quick and professional! I was in and out of the photo studio in less than 15 minutes.
Parking is free with validation.

I needed passport photos, and found this studio on Unilocal.Their location is great, the building has a convenient parking and the studio validates for it. The photographer and the staff are really professional and polite. The whole process took 10 – 15 min and their price is reasonable. I will definitely go back whenever I need photos, and highly recommend this place.

4 passport pictures for $ 10! Fast, professional and helpful!
I visited Studio 2000 this afternoon for some visa pictures that had some specifications. The lady there was super helpful and helped me adjust the size for the pictures after finding out about my special requests :). I thought they were going to charge me extra for the adjustments but nope still $ 10. Validated parking in the lot and I was out of there within 15 minutes.
The pictures came out well! I definitely recommend this place for passport/​visa pictures!

i took my graduation pics here & they did an AWESOME job!!! i had to retake graduation pictures because the 1^st studio did a bad job… however, studio 2000 did an excellent job! from the beginning to end they were really professional and caring. They constantly asked if i liked the pictures and edited everything i wanted fixed. Service is amazing & the photographer is so kind and definitely knows what she is doing! Highly recommend! you will not regret taking pictures here!!! :)

I’m a Photographer and I chose Studio 2000 to get my own self portrait taken.
This must say ALOT about this place.
At first, when I called them up, unlike other Koreatown studios, the service was very friendly!
I even got my passport picture taken here and I am NEVER returning to Costco Passport pictures anymore.
Here’s the deal:
1. Photographer Huh is amazing. she knows the rules of passport photo inside and out.
2. The photo comes out beautifully and she’ll take it again if you are not happy.
3. This lady… has god gifted hand! she touches up your face in less than 10 sec. I can’t even do that! and voila, you are 10 years younger!
4. All this… only took 5 min… I mean. seriously?
5. Total for 4 photos…$ 10… seriously? Wow… that’s it?
6. Parking validated. BAM.
Photographer Huh treated me very well. Instead of treating me as a competitor photographer, she welcomed me and even taught me some tips about equipments and photography.
She’s been taking photos for over 30 years… she definitely knows what she’s doing.
Studio 2000 is HUGE and has a full range of top tier equipments with extremely competitive photography services…
I would even recommend weddings and engagements here.
Studio 2000 is a real legit awesome Photography studio if you guys are looking for a referral.
I would personally recommend for:
High School portraits,
Headshot,
family portraits,
event photography
