My Last Photo Shoot in Prague: The Final Regular Session

Walking the wintry streets of Prague in late autumn, in beige coats and scarves

Hi, I’m author S.
Today brings my photo shoots in Prague to a close.
I probably won’t be uploading any more photos from shoots in Prague. Thank you for all your love and support ^____^*

This bride and groom had their shoot on November 21, and their photos were delivered in just 3 days. Now that’s a minor miracle.
I had a bad cold, which made things a bit tough, but I stuck to the basics rather than trying anything out of the ordinary.
Hmm.. do you know what sets Sarangbi Snap apart?
You’re looking at these photos now, right? The quality of the photos on the blog isn’t all that different from what you actually receive from your own shoot. That consistency is my biggest strength. How should I put it.. there are enough photographers out there who post one masterpiece and then deliver photos of a lower standard to fill a line stretching more than two and a half laps around a sports field, aren’t there?

It really was a relaxed shoot.
Unless there’s fog or a seriously strong wind, I can keep turning out photos of this quality 😀
As it turns out, my last visit to Our Lady of Exile is for a photo shoot.

After the first few clicks of the shutter, I know straight away which poses and mood to go for.
If I think, “Hey, you’re good at this!” I gradually ask them to try harder, more complicated poses. If not, I make things easier as I go. So the quality stays consistent, but the style varies. Asking someone to do a difficult pose when they can’t manage it makes for truly awful photos.

Keeping it easy and relaxed 😀

Taking it really, really easy (me, that is)

Schwarzenberg Palace (Schwarzenberský palác). My last time here, too. There’s a small chance I might visit Our Lady of Exile again, but for now, sayonara, sayonara.

A really, really relaxed stroll 😀

A winter walk along Loretánská Street (Loretánská)!
How many road signs do you think I removed from this photo?

I edited these without filters, using the colors that are most true to Sarangbi Snap.
My photos normally have natural colors like these. Why do I work this way.. add filters, and after just 5 years or so, the photos have that old Cyworld vibe, you know? In other words, they look dated. Keep the colors close to the originals like this, and they won’t look dated even when you look back at them 10 or 20 years later.

I hadn’t said it before because I’d sound full of myself, but anyway, wishing you all happiness in the years ahead!!

Getting people to smile in photos isn’t hard. Just make them laugh.
Around 2018, I photographed a couple who smiled from start to finish.. but the groom said he wished there had been more variety. Since then, I’ve mixed things up.

A tram comes along as we pass, so I quickly grab an easy shot.

This is Chotek Gardens (Chotkovy sady), my favorite place in Prague.

This spot looks best with the river in view.
Climbing up was a little tough when I weighed 100 kg, but now I’m 73 kg, you see? If I push off as hard as I used to, I feel like I float up and take flight. I have to climb onto the wall and stand there to take these photos. Of course there’s a risk of falling, but if I fall into the river, I can just swim out. And I fell from a height of 5 stories as a kid, so I’m not afraid of falling from high places either -_-

Today’s photos are full of moments where everything just clicks.
How should I put it.. it feels like the whole universe is on my side. Trams turn up right on cue. I head to a spot wondering whether it’ll be too crowded to shoot, only to find everyone’s disappeared..

Keeping it as simple and relaxed as possible!

The whole shoot took 2 hours and 11 minutes, including travel between locations.
I photographed them in 17 locations with 42 different setups. Pick one photo from each setup, and that gives you 42 photos.
As for the rest.. you can edit them with a smartphone app. Of course, there’s no way they’d look better than my edits..

Wishing you both many, many happy years together.

And that was my final regular photo shoot in Prague, bringing 11 years to a close.

I’m not currently offering photo shoots or taking bookings in Prague. If I arrange shoots there, I’ll announce them separately. If I resume shoots in Prague, you can expect to pay around 250,000 KRW for 1 hour in the daytime, or around 400,000 KRW for 3 hours covering 2 hours in the daytime and 1 hour at night. The 3-hour shoot would include 30 edited photos and 450 original photos.
