Hello everyone!!
My name is Konawa and I am in charge of makeup and dressing at GION AYA, the Maiko Experience Center.
We've been experiencing extreme heat and bad weather every day, how are you all doing?
On my days off, I enjoy doing summer-like things like playing in the water with my son.
Well, this blog is about the 10 minutes of free photo shoot that comes with each plan...
Ten minutes may seem long when you're wearing a maiko kimono, but it's actually quite short.
Before you know it, it'll be over. What pose should I make?
There is no time to worry about such things!!! To make these 10 minutes meaningful,
Please take a look here!
The 10 minutes of free time is after the shoot.
You can spend time in your room, in the garden, or at the entrance!!
(You cannot use the space where the next customer is taking photos🙇♀️)
This time, I will introduce some photos you can take in a small garden.
(Photo taken on iPhone in portrait mode)
Let's introduce it right away ♪Let's go ~~~ ❣️
Full-body forward and backward poses imitating sample poses
Recommended for those who did not choose this pose when taking the photo.

⭐Point⭐
Shooting from below is more stylish than taking from above 🆙☝🏻☝🏻

I recommend taking photos of poses that are not in the sample poses 😊✨

↑⭐ point ⭐↑
Spread your legs out in front and behind, lift the heels of your back legs slightly, and look at your heels.
If you drop it, you can take natural photos 👍
↓Even if you look up a little in the photo, it still looks beautiful and matches the atmosphere of the garden. ✨↓

I don't usually wear big hairpins, do I?
So I have no choice but to take pictures 📸 I took pictures mainly of the hairpin 📸

This is what it looks like from behind ♪ It's hard to see from behind by yourself
Let's take some photos during this free photoshoot time 💚💙💛
↓

↑⭐ point ⭐↑
Taking photos with warm light in the background will give off a more garden-like atmosphere!
The photos of you sitting in the garden look really great ✨
The color and growth of the leaves varies depending on the season,
This season has a lot of greenery, so putting in lanterns is great.
It gives a warm impression ♡♥

It's usually impossible to take a photo of someone sitting backwards, so
I recommend taking photos during the free photo shoot time.

↑⭐point⭐↑
If you turn the camera to the side, you can see the whole garden.
You can enter and enjoy the atmosphere of the garden and take photos 📸
If you take a close-up photo of your face, bring some small items in front of you.
You can even take photos with the green leaves blurred in the foreground.

This time, we introduced the small garden, but next time we will introduce the free photography at the entrance ✨✨
Enjoy ~~ 🥰✨ Coming soon,YouTubee will also be updated, so please look forward to it ~ ♪
