Amazing costumers service. Went for a passport photo, they were fast and received and extra photo and a free print service. read more

Great experience! Went there to take my passport photos recently. Called in advanced and they were very polite on the phone and explained the pricing. In person, place looks very clean and spacious. The photographer took a picture of me a few times and then showed me the results, we selected the best one. Very patient and positive photographer. He also emailed me a digital copy of the picture. Everything was quick and efficient! Will definitely take pictures here again in the future! Highly recommend this place! read more

Hank was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer. He was professional, easy to work with, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire day. The photos turned out beautiful, but the real standout was the photo album he created for us. The quality, layout, and attention to detail were incredible--it truly tells the story of our wedding in the best way. We've looked through it so many times already and will treasure it forever. Highly recommend Hank to anyone looking for a talented photographer who goes above and beyond read more

Hank is the ultimate professional. Needed passport pictures, called ahead for same day visit and asked to be seen in 2hrs. He was friendly, available, flexible and once we got to his studio - it was clear he was a professional. Clean, sophisticated, and lots of professional lighting. No rush at all, he was patient, and gave us many chances to capture our best look. He added in some photoshop skills cause that's just what it takes sometimes to bring out the best version of ourselves and make those blemishes go away. All reasonably priced! read more

Great experience. Fast service! Haeng is thoughtful and professional. He took many photos and showed them to me. We tried different hair looks because i looked messy from running errands all day! The Canadian passport photos came out perfectly, and the rate is amazing and conveniently located in Koreatown. Clean, professional studio. I'll definitely come back again. Highly recommended for all Canadians living in Los Angeles! read more

We hired Haeng for our family photo shoot. He provided some suggestions on where to do the shoot and communicated with us well throughout the entire process. But during the shoot is where Haeng really shines. He has a great eye and knack for setting up and catching the right moments, and in our case, was excellent in handling a 3 year old with a short attention span. The entire experience was a pleasant one and we were extremely happy with the results. I would highly recommend Blue22 Photography. read more

We worked with Hank twice in June for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. Hank was a pleasure to work with both time and he arrived at both venues at least 30 minutes early to scope it out. My husband and I are both camera shy people so we were worried about taking our first professional photos, but Hank made the experience fun and comfortable. Hank speaks fluent Korean so that was a plus for us during our wedding as he was able to communicate directly with our parents as well. Our final photos came out great and we are happy with how they all turned out! Professional editing turnaround times were quick and we got them faster than originally promised. Would highly recommend Hank to our friends and family in LA for any future events! read more

Hank shot our maternity photos as well as a family photo session. We loved the results of both of the shoots, and especially appreciated Hank's enthusiasm, punctuality and easy going nature. The entire family had a fun time during the shoot and that alone will be a great memory for us in addition to the photos :) read more

Great photographer. Quick and efficient. Great turnout of passport photo. Highly recommend!

Hank was such a pleasure to work with!! My fiancé and I booked our 한복 photos with him and he definitely had his work cut out for him as I am a very awkward photo taker. I'm totally carefree until I see a camera (or phone) and then I just malfunction and freeze. He really went above and beyond to help me relax, even giving us champagne! He's extremely professional and provided really good instructions to ensure my photos didn't come out looking forced or tense. We love all 200+ photos he captured!! read more

This photo studio is highly recommended! I needed to get photos for green card. so I contacted here , Their service was excellent, and the photos were absolutely perfect.!!! read more

Hank provided very professional and courteous service for a very reasonable price. He was patient and really took his time to give clear directions about how to pose. He was meticulous in adjusting hair or clothing to help give off the polished look that I wanted in the headshots, which was appreciated and showed how detail-oriented he is. He has a great attitude and helps you feel at ease, and I would happily return for future photography needs. read more

They were able to squeeze me in for quick passport photos. The owner was very accommodating and the photos came out quick with great quality. 100% recommend them for any photography needs especially passport photos. read more

We booked Hank for our express civil wedding, and even though we haven't seen the photos yet, we already know we made the right choice. He was incredibly professional and made us feel surprisingly comfortable--no small feat, since we're both super awkward in front of the camera! He guided us through poses in a way that felt natural and easy, which we really appreciated. Now we're just hoping he works a little photoshop magic too . Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who's talented, kind, and knows how to make the experience fun and stress-free! read more

10/10 for passport pictures. Hank took 10+ pictures and we looked over them to select the best one. It was incredible to not be rushed and have options. Will def be back but for solo pictures read more

I am really thankful that I found Blue 22! Mr. Hank is the most enthusiastic photographer I've ever worked with. I could tell that he truly enjoys capturing the special moments. During the engagement photo session and the wedding, all we did was to enjoy the moment and follow his directions. He makes it really easy and natural. As the result, we got pictures with beautiful backgrounds and natural smiles. And during the wedding, many of our guests commented on how nice he was! He was taking pictures for 8 hours straight, never stopped shooting, and he was smiling the whole time and was extremely nice to everyone he talked to. Thank you, Mr. Hank, for beautiful engagement photos! I can't wait to see my wedding photos! read more

Mr. Hank Nam's photographies were beyond our expectations even though we already had high expectations for him from the beginning! We can't thank enough for capturing literally every detail of our special day. I like to write in bullet points. So the following are my top reasons that I will work with him for our future celebration and family photos: 1. Extremely caring - He cared about us as if he was taking his own family's photos. 2. Exceeds expectation - His professional skills are amazing! The photos came out stunning. He guided us with a variety of postures and gestures throughout all day. Although I shared only five photos here for our privacy, we received tons of photos that are absolutely gorgeous. 3. Very detail oriented - His photos captured each single detail of our wedding day. This truly served our purpose to retain the memories of our special day and cherish for the rest of our lives. In short, we're extremely delighted with Mr. Nam's professionalism, thoughtfulness and excellent photos. Thank you so much :D read more

This is a very late review of Hank's work. My fiancé hired Hank to capture our engagement back in May. Hank was well-prepared and made us feel so comfortable during the shoots. He was smiling the entire time and it was evident that he loves what he does. We are normally very awkward during photos but that was not very evident in the photos because he made us feel at ease! We were all very impressed with Hank's work. He provided all the edited photos in about 2 weeks and we absolutely loved going through the photos. I definitely cried again. I am so happy my fiancé found Hank because his work brought us back to our special moment. I am so thankful for this. These photos are definitely ones we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We are looking forward to hopefully working with Hank again. Even our friends asked for his contact information! I would highly recommend going with Hank! Look no further!!! Thank you Hank! read more

We had Hank for three times so far. We first asked him for our engagement and the wedding photos after seeing his portfolio. The engagement and the wedding album came out wonderful. He recommended beautiful places to take engagement photos, and we loved the process and outcome of it. So, we went back to him for our pregnancy photos and are planning on getting our baby photos as well. He is always professional and pleasant to work with. We highly recommend him. read more

Had a great experience with Blue 22 Photography with our 2022 wedding photos. Apologies for the late review :). Amazing photos and service.

This review is so overdue, with all our wedding planning, but, of course, this business deserves proper praise! Even though he had a tight timeline, it was met on time, and the best thing - the pictures came out so beautiful and to our liking! I also mentioned to the photographer that I would like quite a few black&white pictures, as I really like the look, and they feel so timeless to me. And those are actually my favorite! The process was very comfortable, the photographer gives great directions, and has an eye for capturing special moments. We printed a few of our favorites right away, and they make us so happy! read more

I wish there was a way to give Hank 10 stars! He's an amazing photographer who really cares about his clients needs. We've had the pleasure of working with him 3 times - Our wedding, maternity photos, and our baby's first birthday/family photos. He's delivered beyond our expectations every single time. He's also very warm, so we always feel comfortable around him. If you're worried about how you're going to pose, don't worry, he knows what to do. Also, I can't stand it when I hire photographers and they just stiffly stand there taking pictures. Hank will literally go behind a bush, get on the ground, and climb up a ladder to get the interesting shots! Again, I can't recommend him enough. He's the best! Tip: He's fluent in Korean, so that was very helpful for some of my family members who only speak Korean. read more

We had a great time with our studio Wedding Photo session with Hank -- loved his energy, at the end of our photo shoot myself and bride were getting tire but Hank kept going for more shoots! We are very satisfied with the photos and we will definitely come back to work with him again! read more

Look no further for professional photography, high quality products and unparalleled customer service. Hank goes above and beyond to communicate proactively and with courtesy and kindness. His warm and pleasant personality makes is truly the distinction of his company, Blue22. His professionalism (prompt, attentive, dedication) is what makes his price point worth it. Finally, a soon to be returning customer, his customer service is unparalleled. He went beyond our expectations on the day of our photo shoot. Thank you, Hank. We are truly grateful. read more

Amazing service and best quality of pictures. We will continue to call him! Thank you Mr. Hank! read more

You know the vendor is amazing when you plan your event around their availability. My husband and I changed our daughter's first birthday event date just so we could have this photographer - because he was fully booked for weddings the other days. He is that amazing!!! And very detail-oriented. Unlike many photogs out there, he made sure that all our clothes (especially our baby's outfit) were adjusted photogenically, everyone was smiling their best smiles, the angles were right so our legs look longer, made my acne scarred skin look good, just everything turned out so amazing. He took the most beautiful, heartwarming photos of our family that we will cherish forever. And on top of his great talent and artistic eye, he is so kind and personable. He made everyone feel at ease and genuinely happy. Hank is the very best!!! We are so grateful! read more

My husband and I booked Hank for our engagement shoot and wedding day photography, and it was one of the best decisions we made! Hank made us feel very comfortable and was super easy to communicate with and work with. We wanted a very natural, photojournalistic style and Hank delivered exactly that, and also gave us amazing shots with stunning backgrounds and artistic composition. Hank came highly recommended to us from two other married couples who had wonderful experiences as well, and we in turn would absolutely recommend Hank to any other couples who are looking for beautiful photography for their wedding. Thank you so much, Hank! read more

My husband and I got married this past weekend and Hank was our photographer. We've never taken professional photos before and were pretty nervous, but Hank must be one of the nicest photographers ever. We met with him to talk about styles and then we picked a package that included an engagement shoot. It was super helpful to get to know him and also practice posing. Hank made the wedding day so stress-free. He's a consummate professional and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! read more

We booked Hank for family portraits at our home in early June. During the shoot, Hank was so kind and so considerate to our elders and super fun and interactive with our toddler! We were so relax and comfortable with Hank and as a result, the pictures come out so beautiful, fun and memorable. Highly recommended! Thank you so much, Hank. :D read more

Long overdue review. We went back and forth over getting family photos done during COVID, but the more we thought about it, the more appropriate it seemed. We knew we wanted our backdrop to be DTLA, a place that holds history for us and has gone through so much in 2020. Hank knew the area well. He provided great guidance for poses, but also got some treasured candids of us as a family. With us juggling a toddler and all that travels with her, his wife was super helpful throughout the shoot. For most of the time, our 1 year old was almost inconsolable (going through a phase with strangers), but Hank nonetheless captured the very rare moments she smiled. He and his wife even got her to smile! Finally, I'm pretty paranoid about contracting COVID, and they never once removed their masks or made me feel uncomfortable. We were so impressed with the resulting photos, which included digital images and quality prints. We ended up using one of the images for holiday postcards to family and friends we haven't seen during this continual lockdown. Don't waste your time contemplating whether to book with Blue 22; you won't regret it. read more

Took our pics here over 2 years ago and they were absolute perfection!!!! We wanted black and white pics of me and my husband to give to our moms on Mother's Day. Thank you so much! The team is a couple that fixed our clothing and brushed our hair to get the perfect images we dreamed of. 10/10. Go support a family own business filled with DECENT people rather than bougie ass photographers these days that refuse to pick up a damn phone or text back. Rant over. Goodbye. read more

I hired Hank for my wedding and again for some family portraits. We've gotten beautiful photographs thanks to Hank. The entire process from scheduling to shooting is easy and enjoyable. Great to work with! Definitely recommend, thank you Hank!! read more

Had my Taiwanese Passport photos done here. They were super efficient and quick and prices are super affordable! We came on Saturday morning right at open and they took my photos in 5 minutes and knew all of the regulations for hair/framing. Then they took 4-5 options had me select one. Printing took about 15 minutes. There's street parking right in front! read more

Thank you for bringing my vision of these pictures to life!!So professional, so accommodating, and most importantly, so talented! Hank's eye and unique perspective is evident in the pictures he captures. Not only does he have the experience of knowing exactly where to find the perfect scene but he is incredible at also directing your pose. I couldn't be happier with my pictures, not to mention I got them all the same day! Thanks again Hank. read more

The review is so overdue, but I need people to know how outstanding their service is! They have the best deal for passport photos in town. Not only the price, but their photo quality is absolutely stunning! I live in San Diego, but I came all the way to see them because they are the only people I trust with my passport / visa photos. Timing was challenging as I could only visit them before their operation hours, but upon contacting they are nice enough to open a bit early for me so I could get photos taken then head straight to the embassy with fresh-taken photos. If I had any event photography needs in Los Angeles, they would be my go to with no question asked! Definitely recommended :) read more

I just got the best passport photo I've ever had, quickly, and for only $10. I called to check if walk-ins were welcome (they are.) I found street parking a block away. You may want to call first, as he mentioned the studio would be closed later in the afternoon. I arrived as the second out of four people needing passport photos; we all arrived within a few minutes. Hank took care of everyone quickly and efficiently. He was knowledgeable about the strict standards for Taiwanese passport photos (ears must be clearly visible!), so I was sure he'd do a great job on my common US photos. He took seven shots, giving direction as he took them, and showed me all seven. The photo is great--sharp, well-lit, flattering, and he managed to get a natural smile out of me (hard to do). I'll definitely be back in 10 years! read more

My family had never taken a family portrait before, so I thought it was time. My parents were even opposed to the idea of paying money to get our pictures taken, but I convinced them that this will be really good. However on the inside I was a little nervous too, since it was my first time getting pictures taken as well. There are many amazing photographers in Koreatown, but I picked Blue 22 because my hairdresser recommended them and the reviews are great. We decided on a quick one hour shoot at their studio. We were so awkward, but Mr. Nam and his wife were so friendly and made us feel comfortable. They were especially really good with my Korean-speaking parents, which made me feel so much more at ease. You can tell that they are so experienced and professional. They directed us with every detail including posture, hands, feet, hair, smile, everything-- to get the best pictures possible. Overall we all had a great experience. I'm really glad that we went with Mr. Nam. The pictures came out beautifully and my parents are extremely pleased. The prints are so professional and beautiful. I can't wait to frame them. The experience and service that we received is worth so much more than what we paid for. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Nam! read more

I had my passport photo taken here. Took less than 5 minutes. I didn't like how my picture came out but I guess that's how I look without filters. Ha. Okay, so they offered $5 or $10 for a photoshop so I gladly paid for it. It still looked bad but oh well. read more

Passport Photo - I came in for my passport photo and the photographer was excellent! $10 for two photos - cut and printed to passport requirements.
