Una experiencia diferente y divertida. Para ir en pareja, familia o grupo de amigos.
¡¡¡ Por un dia hacer de modelos!!!!!
Muy buena la atención. Recomanable.
Absolutely impeccable from start to finish. Igor was a star, patient and attentive to every little detail. Cannot reccomend them more for the skills, and their attention to the client!
Muy buena experiencia, tienes una de las salas del estudio para ti. Tienes todo tipo de material para llenar la foto y puedes cambiarte de ropa cuando quieras. El resultado es totalmente profesional. Es muy relajado por que gestionas la gran parte de tu sesión cómodamente. Lo mejor es que tienes tantas fotos como te de tiempo a hacer y te las envían aditadas al momento. Sin duda una buena inversión para actores o modelos que tienen que renovar polas habitualmente!
I did Polaroids for my work as a model and was very very happy with the results! Great price, I was able to book a slot super fast and very nice customer service! Always again :)
Tenemos unas fotos que siempre serán un bonito recuerdo familiar. La selección en la localización, un acierto. Creó un vínculo ya en el previo, ayudándonos con los looks. En la sesión no escatimó en tiempo y supo crear un clima que se ha visto reflejado en las fotos. Ser modelo es muy duro ;p
Clients enjoy an experience beyond the photos themselves: "People start jumping around, even the grandparents"

Everything you need to know about model polaroids

What are model polaroids (also called "polas"), and what are they for?

Polaroids (or "polas") are simple, unedited photos that show your real physical appearance for castings in Barcelona. Agencies ask for them to check height, proportions, skin and hair without any retouching. You take them in fitted clothing, against a neutral background, with minimal makeup. At YOULO: just you — no one else, hundreds of shots to choose from, from €60.

How much do model polaroids cost in Barcelona?

With a traditional photographer in Barcelona they cost between €50 and €150 for 10 or 15 unedited photos. At YOULO you take them yourself in a self-photo studio: from €60 for 20 minutes, or €80 for 40 minutes with 200+ shots to choose from. We're at Ronda de la Universitat 33, next to Plaça Catalunya.

What to wear for model polaroids in Barcelona?

Fitted clothing that shows your physique: for guys, a basic t-shirt and fitted jeans; for girls, a basic top, bikini or underwear, with sneakers or heels depending on the casting. No logos, no prints, no accessories. Minimal makeup (light foundation, mascara) and simple hair. At YOULO you can change in the studio as many times as you like, with full privacy.

What's the difference between polaroids and a professional portfolio for models?

Polaroids are simple, unedited photos in basic clothing that show your real physique — they're for quick castings. A portfolio is a full production with different looks and editing that shows your range. Agencies usually want both. At Wonderstory you can get both: polaroids at YOULO from €60, and a portfolio with a photographer from €180.

Can I take my own polaroids with my phone for an agency?

You can, and plenty of agencies accept them. Here's the actual problem: a phone's wide-angle lens distorts your proportions and home lighting leaves harsh shadows, so your polaroids start at a disadvantage next to ones shot with studio light. At YOULO you get a neutral background, even lighting and hundreds of shots to pick from, from €60.

Take your polaroids in the heart of Barcelona

We are at Ronda de la Universitat 33. Getting here is easy, even if you're visiting from out of town: the Plaça Catalunya train station is a 2-minute walk, and there's a huge parking lot right under the square. We look forward to seeing you!

Backed by professional photography experience

YOULO grew out of years our founder Tami spent running Wonderstory. She knows what light flatters you, and what it takes to help you feel at ease.

That's why we get every technical detail right — camera, lighting — every time.

What if you need the full portfolio, with different looks and editing? That's a different league — a photographer's direction is irreplaceable there. Check out the model portfolio, from €180.
