How to Create Trendy "Photo Gray Style Tags" Like Korean Princesses Using a Smartphone App♡

Currently Trending: Photogray＊

Do you know what Photogray is?

Photogray (포토그레이 / photogray) is a four-frame style photo booth popular in South Korea, where four vertically aligned photos create a comic-like display.

In simple terms, it's the name for a Korean-style photo booth＊

Just like young people in Japan take photo booth pictures, in South Korea, friends and couples take Photogray photos to create lasting memories of their youth＊

The differences from Japanese photo booths include:

- No scribbles like text or stamps

- Film looks either monochrome or retro

- Primarily close-ups of faces

- A slight change in composition (facial angles and hand poses) to create a stop-motion effect

These are some of the features that make Photogray unique, as I observed＊

(In South Korea, there are shooting machines available in places like cinemas and cafés, and you can take pictures for about 400 yen, similar to Japan.)

Handmade Film-Style Tags Are Trending＊

Imitating Korean photo booth style, making "film-style tags" by hand is currently in vogue＊＊＊

The process involves using a photo editing app to connect four pictures and design them, adding text at the bottom, and then printing it at a convenience store.

During weddings, they can be displayed in welcome areas or slipped into paper items, making them versatile for various uses♩
