Why people love YOULO

face

I don't know how to pose

We hear that one all the time. That's why we built a setup where you don't pose — you play. The camera hides behind the mirror, so you forget it's there. The result: laughs and 100% real moments.

It's a great plan

YOULO works for a birthday, a fresh kind of date, or breaking the routine. Clients keep calling it "super fun" — we'll take it.

Better quality than you'd expect

Get ready to be impressed. The pro lighting and gear push your photos to a level you didn't see coming. People keep telling us: "the photo quality is excellent."

Freedom to create

You set the rules. Change your look, grab the props, dance, jump. Nobody tells you what to do. For 40 or 60 minutes, the studio is yours. Have fun!

What it's NOT for

When you need a photographer instead

  • Newborn session Babies 5–20 days old need expert hands, specific poses, lots of patience. You need a professional photographer.
    See the newborn shoot →
  • Pro portrait with art direction If you need concept, styling and creative direction for a brand, campaign or editorial — that's guided studio work.
    See shoots with a photographer →
  • Wedding photography Weddings happen on location, with changing light and moments that don't repeat. You need a photographer with you all day.

Got questions? We've got answers

Do I need any photography experience?

No. The camera is preconfigured (focus, exposure, light) and you just press a button on the remote. You can see exactly how each shot looks before you press. Most people get the hang of it in the first 5 minutes. Just show up ready to have fun.

How many people can come?

From 1 to 15 people in the big room. Kids under 3 don't count toward the total. If there are more than 15 of you, write us and we'll set something up for you.

What if the photos come out bad?

We don't charge for "bad" photos. You shoot as many as you want during the whole session, no limit. And since you see yourself in the mirror in real time, you decide right then whether you like the shot before you press.

Can I choose the backdrop and music?

Yes. We have several colored backdrops you can switch between shots (lavender, yellow, white, others available). You bring the music: Bluetooth connects to the room, so you plug in your Spotify and your playlist plays.

What if I don't know what poses to do?

Relax — there's no "posing." The moment you walk in and start watching yourself in the mirror, it just happens. We leave a mini-guide on a sheet in the room with 10 ideas (jump, hug, serious look, laugh look) — but most people set it aside after 10 minutes.

How long is the session?

You pick 20, 40 or 60 minutes. The most popular is 40 minutes (€80), enough for 2–3 outfit changes. If you see time flying, you can extend on the spot — as long as the next room is free.

What's a photo booth, and why isn't YOULO one?

A photo booth is the automated kiosk you see at events. YOULO is a pro self-photo studio: DSLR camera, real studio lighting, a one-way mirror and a wireless remote. The result: studio quality, not booth format.

Where is YOULO in Barcelona?

We're at Ronda de la Universitat 33, a 2-minute walk from Plaça Catalunya. Metro is right there (L1, L3) and there's public parking under the square.

Built by a pro photographer

YOULO was built by Tami, a Barcelona photographer. She spent years shooting families and weddings. Most people, she saw, don't want direction — they want freedom. So every camera, every light and every mirror here is set up by someone who knows the craft.

You walk in, you play, you walk out with the photos. We've handled the tech.
