Zeng Jun offers posture guidance to two customers at his photo studio Takaphotoo in Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province, April 15, 2014. In March, Zeng Jun and his college classmate Yuan Chunzi opened up Takaphotoo, a self-service photo studio in which customers are allowed to shoot pictures for themselves. In a photo booth where the camera and lighting are already set, what customers need to do is to pose in front of the lens and press the remote shutter. The two young entrepreneurs believe this will make their customers feel more relaxed and produce better portraits. At Takaphotoo, customers are charged on a time basis and are free to take any number of shots within the time limit, which is another competitive edge compared to traditional studios.
