Good questions.
Clear answers.
Do I have to make a reservation?
No advance reservation is required in the proposed on-demand flow. Availability depends on whether a photographer is on shift in the area. Optional scheduled requests may be offered later.

The core proposed session is 15 minutes. Arrival and transfer time are separate from shooting time.
Do I need an app?
The concept is designed to work through a mobile web page, without requiring app installation.
When will I receive the photographs?
The planned experience is to review JPEGs on your own smartphone at the end of the shoot. Exact delivery and final-file options remain subject to testing.
What does it cost?
The final price has not been set. The goal is transparent group pricing, shown before a request is confirmed.
Where is PicStand available?
PicStand plans to start in Asakusa, Tokyo. Ueno Park and the Tokyo Station / Marunouchi area are planned next. Launch dates and specific coverage will be announced when confirmed.
