The target of photography base
No longer locked to photographers
As I said in the previous article, my three Shenzhen games are inseparable from Sister Ko. She, whom I call a local tyrant, I don’t know where she found a E-commerce photography base .
Maybe it's still too ignorant.
I have always heard that there is a photography base in Hangzhou, which is used for shooting clothing and live broadcasts of Taobao models or Internet celebrities. But I don’t know that the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Pearl River Delta region has also developed this industry early.
In the old days, photography bases were mostly used for shooting weddings, portraits, etc., and were usually used as additional industries by photography studios or companies.
Although there are more famous ones in Guangdong Province, Foshan Nanhai Film and Television City , they are relatively large-scale bases and are also open to the public as tourism resources.
Coupled with the development of social platforms in recent years, more and more friends are willing to post interesting stores or venues.
Therefore, more and more stores are adopting personalized or scene-based elements. Social communication can be achieved through customers' active photo sharing.
In the past, going out to eat was just about eating. Now when I encounter something good-looking, I will take a photo first and then come back to eat.
The photography base is also No longer limited to individual portraits .
Operators open it to rent out for groups with commercial needs to record programs, vlogs, product pictures for individual e-commerce, and regular customers to visit and shoot freely.
As a tourist, I happily set off from Guangzhou early in the morning and went to Shenzhen to look for Miss Ko, the young model this time.

Shenzhen TOPONE e-commerce live photography base
T.one is located in Shajing, Baoan, northwest of Shenzhen.
Generally speaking, the airport in a city is basically in the most remote place. Then,this place is farther than Shenzhen Airport. So when Sister Ko and I saw the route, we were a little desperate.
Fortunately, my brother-in-law sent us there carefully.
From Luohu, it takes about 1 hour to drive . Here we also remind those who drive to pay attention to the navigation destination.
We initially targeted Avatar Industrial Park , but it turned out that although it was in Baoan, it was still more than ten kilometers away from the destination. We only found out after we got off the bus and asked the security guard.
Fortunately, my brother-in-law was safer and stayed where he was. We hurried back to the car and continued on our way. After checking, I found that there are two industrial parks here called "Avatar".
So for those of you who have come here, it’s better to directly locate T.one e-commerce photography base and don’t search for the word “Avatar”.
The whole building has 6 floors. Among them, there are 3 floors that belong to the chassis of the photography base, a total of 4 locations.
The indoor view on the first floor and the surrounding street view , the comprehensive view on the fourth floor and the rooftop view on the 7th floor . After entering the gate, confirm the information with the lady and you can start the shooting trip.
As a result of our early participation in the event, we were given two hours of free shooting , but the indoor view on the first floor was not included.
After a quick look, the interior is still very beautiful. It is a bit too formal and strict. The feeling of home shopping . Maybe it would be more appropriate to shoot commercials or record a show.
I heard that there is also a European style bathtub, but we didn't see it. If you are planning to bring a box of clothes, you might as well add a few oversize white shirts and take some pictures of your private room that are not too subtle.
(A wave of official promotional pictures)
We went straight to the elevator to the fourth floor.
Not the entire fourth floor is occupied, but takes up a lot of store space . Some of the others are studios and some are offices.
I guess T.one rented several properties at the same time, connected them, and made full use of the space for layout.
Also I admire the planners for making every corner and every wall fully . Even though the place didn’t look big, I spent two hours and still felt like it wasn’t enough to take pictures.
After walking around, I roughly estimated that there are at least 20 scenes that can be photographed on the fourth floor. We haven’t shot them all yet.
After entering the shooting area, we started from the left and took turns clockwise. Ignoring some common sofas and coffee tables, the most eye-catching thing is the dressing room in the corner .
It is said that it is really a dressing room and not just a set.
The styling and makeup of models or artists are all done here. It's just that neither of us brought any cosmetic bags today, so we couldn't spread out a lot of bottles and cans to make props .
In addition to having Ms. Ko sit in front of the mirror, the focus point of the camera can be on the portrait on the mirror . This creates a composition.
In addition, I used the light projected on the glass wall by the headlights of the mirror. I asked Sister Ko to sit on a chair outside and took a picture of her through the glass.
Since I rarely take portraits, any attempt like this makes me feel a little novel and excited.
There is also a fake white staircase. Because the stairs disappear after only two steps, and there is no design to continue to extend upwards. Just let Sister Ko lie on the armrest and take a photo .
There is also a pink Christmas tree under the stairs.
It also matches well with Miss Ko who was wearing pink that day. Magazine props should also be put to good use. (There are also coffee cups, cake models, fruits and other props)
The bedroom with the oversized bear doll is undoubtedly a very popular place for fairies.
It's difficult to figure out how to interact with a bear without being too contrived. Anyway, I was watching a girl in front of me hugging and sleeping. Then I have to step on the trampoline.
The lighting was very good, I told Sister Ko just make it more natural . How to capture her good-looking angle is my business.
Originally I also brought Polaroid with me this time. Before leaving, I turned on the phone and took a quick look. When I saw that there were still 10 pictures on the display, I was very relieved to go out.
It turned out that I had not replaced the camera case after taking it out last time. After the photo paper casing is closed, the camera defaults to having replaced it, and the value is displayed as 10 again.
It's really a bug of mini90. I plan to write about my Polaroid another day, so I will definitely criticize it.
I just carried it on my back for a whole day, using it as a prop from time to time.
This large hotel-like room also has a gorgeous matching bathroom and cloakroom. But none of them had the lights on, it was dark, and we couldn't find the button.
I didn’t think about how to take pictures, so I moved the coffee table over. Put a few books on the bed and set the camera to take a 10-second Selfie.
The shady KO sister just laughed and watched me running back and forth.
After coming out of the big room, you enter the living room.
There are about 4 sofas here, all made of IKEA fabrics. You must have the popular flamingo photo frame, and you must also have a gorgeous full-length mirror with lights (three or four of them).
Although I thought about not neglecting every corner, in fact, except for the background wall, the sofa is not much different. If you repeat the same pose four times, I believe you will get bored.
I borrowed Sister Ko’s glasses, which is a bit intellectual.
What is satisfying is that in addition to the sofa, there is an open kitchen next to the living room. Sister Ko and I both like it here.
There's also a lot of plasticity here. In addition to the props in the kitchen, the bar is also a delight. And switching from fixed focus to wide angle, the compatibility of this scene is very high.
From this perspective, it is a bit like the food program studio of TV station. So I have to give a call to the lighting of this hall again.
I originally wanted to take pictures of some small details. But because there were too many people, I went around and changed several angles, and I forgot about it when I looked back.
Facing the kitchen, you will find another black wall on the left. There is a decorative clock hanging on the wall, and a hanging painting (I don’t know if it has not been hung yet, or if it was originally planned to be placed like this).
I saw that the combination of twilight black and hanging paintings was quite elegant, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it could bring out a bit of an artist’s touch.
After that, it’s the indispensable wave pool that is a check-in spot for internet celebrities .
The pool is not very big, but fortunately the Bobo Ball is full enough. And there are quite a lot of props. For example Flamingo, Pink Panther. GrinningA pig with a toothy grin.
Fairies also like this place intensively. We also went back and forth waiting for people to finish filming and then go back and take additional shots.
As mentioned before, the fourth floor is not large, but has many scenes. At our pace, two hours is not enough.
If you want to shoot more details, it should take another hour. So if you come here, it’s best to reserve at least 2 hours for this level alone.
After finishing the shooting on the 4th floor, Sister Ko changed into a coat, and we started shooting exterior scenes on the first floor. Speaking of which, some netizens suggested that dragging a box of clothes here is not unreasonable.
Because different scenes require different hairstyles, clothing and outfits to match them for the best combination.
Like myself, when I take pictures of an outfit from beginning to end, I find it boring after that. However, practicing taking portraits is the original purpose of this trip, and my own appearance in the shot is a guest appearance.
When you turn a corner from the gate, you can see the street view of the avenue.
But what is more monotonous is that most of the street scenes look like the entrance of a cafe. There are some tables and chairs, as well as street signs and zebra crossings.
Sister Ko especially wanted to sit down on the zebra crossing and let me take a wide-angle photo of her. Unfortunately, it was midday and the heat on the ground was too strong. In addition, the light and shadow at the time were not good to look at, so I had to give up.
There is an exterior scene surrounded by barbed wire and filled with cobblestones and some small green plants. Sister ko said this is very similar to being in Thailand .
I also quickly ran outside the network, so that Sister Ko could see You can't smile anymore, you have to be cool This scene is not suitable for sweetness at all. Then the photo that came out was liked by both of them.
The color scheme of the store is mostly black and white, so it has quite a Hong Kong style.
So you can bring some cool accessories, such as sunglasses, metallic or gray clothes, and remember to bring bright red lipstick and smoky eye shadow !
In fact, there is another scene on the rooftop on the 7th floor, but most of it is street graffiti. And it was too hot at noon, so we didn’t go up to take pictures.
There is also a yellow retro Beetle at the end of the street, the color is very nice. If the light is good enough, remember to take a photo.
