Like calling a ride — except a vetted photographer comes to you, at Japan's iconic spots. Right now, or at a time you pick. A 15-minute shoot, and every shot lands on your phone before you walk away.
Most photo services were built for planned photoshoots. PicStand is built for the moment you're already in.
The one holding the camera. With PicStand, everyone's in the shot — and nobody has to ask a stranger.
Tap Now and nearby photographers on shift get your call — the first to accept comes to you. Or pick a time, even before your trip. No app to install.
Already see a PicStand photographer? You can also scan their QR to ask them directly.
Your phone shows who's coming and where to meet. Once you've met, you both tap Start. The same countdown runs on both phones — no surprises, no overtime.
Every photo appears on your phone on the spot. Later, choose your favorites and download full-size originals plus a lightly AI-touched version of each.
Meeting a stranger with a camera should feel safe. Here's what we promise.
Every photographer is reviewed and certified by PicStand before their first shoot.
Shot on mirrorless cameras with proper lenses — not on someone's phone.
Photographers agree not to keep or reuse your photos. Sample use only with your permission.
Your shoot has its own private page. Nobody else can browse your photos.
You see the full price before you start. No hidden fees, no upsell at the end.
A stand isn't a booth — it's an area around a landmark where PicStand photographers wait on shift. Call from anywhere within about a 15-minute walk. We open stands one at a time, where the moments happen.
No packages to compare. Call now, or pick a time.
No. Tap Now and a nearby photographer on shift comes to you. If you'd rather lock in a time before your trip, you can book ahead too.
If nobody accepts within 5 minutes, we'll suggest booking a time instead. Nothing is charged for a call that isn't accepted.
Before you meet, your phone shows the photographer's name, photo and where they are. Nothing starts until you both tap "Start".
No. Everything runs in your phone's web browser, including viewing and downloading your photos.
Of course. Your photos are private to you, and are never used as samples without your permission.
The whole flow is shown in English on your phone, so you can start, follow and finish the shoot without a shared language. [Photographer language support — TBD]
[Cancellation / weather policy — TBD]
[Payment method for pilot stage — TBD]
Place a small PicStand card with a QR at your front desk. Guests scan it to book a shoot ahead of time.
シフト中は名所のそばで待機。アプリに届いた依頼を受けて、近くの旅行者のもとへ。15分撮影し、写真はその場で相手のスマホへ。声をかけて回る必要はありません。
