The self-photo studio and photobooth trend is now becoming a new\nfavourite in Indonesia\u2019s creative economy sector. This is in line with\nthe increasing interest of the younger generation in personal\nentertainment.<\/p>\n
The growth of this industry has been recorded as very significant\nglobally, with a projected market value of USD1.9 billion by 2034. In\nIndonesia, the shift in consumer behaviour post-pandemic, seeking\nmicro-experiences, has made the concept of self-photography without a\nphotographer increasingly popular because it provides more freedom for\nexpression.<\/p>\n
In response to this growth, Epson Indonesia, together with Master\nPlotter, held a community gathering titled \u201cPrint Opportunities, Harvest\nProfits\u201d in Jakarta. This event aims to equip prospective entrepreneurs\nwith a more integrated business ecosystem.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough this customer photo gathering, we want to provide a space\nfor sharing experiences as well as education for players and prospective\nentrepreneurs in the photography field. We hope this event can help\nthose who want to enter the self-photo studio business, which is\ncurrently booming and still has very large growth potential,\u201d said\nMaster Plotter CEO, Djulwardi, in his statement, quoted on Monday, 4 May\n2026.<\/p>\n
Although it requires an initial investment ranging from Rp50 million\nto Rp100 million, this business is considered to have a relatively short\npayback period, around seven months. Technical challenges such as camera\nequipment, printers, and payment systems are now starting to be\naddressed with the presence of more efficient AI-based technology.<\/p>\n
On that occasion, Epson introduced the D530 series printer, specially\ndesigned for self-studio needs with double-sided printing advantages.\nMeanwhile, Master Plotter offers a variety of printing media from glossy\npaper to lenticular materials that provide unique visual effects.<\/p>\n
Djulwardi emphasised that the success of this business greatly\ndepends on the physical memories that consumers take home. The quality\nof the print results becomes a determining factor for customers to feel\nsatisfied and interested in returning.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the self-photo studio business, what is most determining is not\nonly the experience during the photo session, but the print results. The\nexperience may be forgotten, but the photo taken home will continue to\nbe viewed and become a memory. Therefore, the print quality must be\nreally maintained to give a strong impression and encourage customers to\nreturn,\u201d added Djulwardi.<\/p>\n
Support for the latest technology is expected to expand the\nself-photo business to small towns and community areas. Thus, it can\ncontinue to drive the wheels of the creative economy throughout\nIndonesia.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/business-opportunities-in-photography-through-the-self-photo-studio-trend-1777913619", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
