(https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-mirror-shelf/) - Written Sep 9, 2026 - Local places › Things to do › Gangnam, Seoul - Sponsored: I was provided with the photo shoot by the business and visited to write this review. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-mirror-shelf/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@seoul-mirror-shelf/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/index.md) ## In short Deokseu Gallery is a passport and profile photo studio in the basement of the Hana Bank building near Seolleung Station in Gangnam, Seoul. The writer paid ₩30,000 for a passport+driver's license package with 8 prints plus digital files, and the whole process — shooting, picking photos, and retouching — was done in 15 minutes. With a makeup room and shirts provided for shoots, it's a great pick when you need a passport photo in a hurry. ## Good to know - **Location**: 401 Teheran-ro B1F, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (basement of the Hana Bank building near Seolleung Station exits 8/9) - **Hours**: Daily 09:30–19:30 (until 18:30 on public holidays) - **Closed**: Every Sunday - **Parking**: 3 hours free, except public holidays and Sundays - **Facilities**: Separate men's/women's restrooms, reservations, walk-ins/on-site service, pets allowed, group bookings, Wi-Fi, waiting area - **Package used by writer**: Passport+driver's license, 8 prints with digital files provided — ₩30,000 - **Time taken**: Shooting under 5 minutes, entire process within 15 minutes - **Reservation perk**: Naver reservation gets you 1+1 prints or a color background coupon *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* I was looking around for a place to get photos taken and ended up at Deokseu Gallery, a photo studio near Seolleung Station that's popular for natural shots and retouching. Let me share the visa/passport rules and some tips for getting good shots! ## Deokseu Gallery's location and business info - 📍 401 Teheran-ro B1F, Gangnam-gu, Seoul - ⏰ Daily 09:30–19:30 - ⏰ Closed every Sunday (open until 18:30 on public holidays) - ✔️ Separate men's/women's restrooms, reservations, walk-ins/on-site service, pets allowed, group bookings, Wi-Fi, waiting area, parking ![Entrance to Deokseu Gallery in the basement of the Hana Bank building near Seolleung Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-01-19emp-900.webp) ![Basement stairs leading down to Deokseu Gallery](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-02-1tnqe-m-900.webp) To find it, come out of Seolleung Station exit 8 or 9, and once you see the Hana Bank building, just head down the stairs into the basement. Parking is free for 3 hours too, except on public holidays and Sundays, which is nice. They said it's fine to park on the roadside on weekends, so keep that in mind before visiting! ![Reception desk and photo order form at the studio](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-03-1pup7-1200.webp) ## Book ahead and shoot right away, no waiting Once you go in, they check if you have a reservation, then you fill out a photo order form. I visited early on a weekend and there were surprisingly a lot of people. If you book through the Naver link beforehand, you can go at your chosen time without waiting and get your prints done quickly too — that's the advantage. Plus booking ahead gets you a 1+1 prints deal or a color background coupon. ![Information board with examples of photo types](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-04-1cldo-m-900.webp) ![Guide explaining special-case rules like visa photos](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-05-a5t9m-900.webp) ## Visa/passport clothing and hair rules — just check the in-store guide Inside the studio there are examples for each photo type, and for special cases like visas, the rules are clearly written out, so it was convenient to just check and prepare accordingly. ## Deokseu Gallery price list - Review event: passport + driver's license + ID card, 16 prints — ₩30,000 - Passport + driver's license, 8 prints with files provided — ₩30,000 - File printing only: passport + driver's license, 8 prints — ₩15,000 - Smartphone photo printing, photo table — ₩1,000–5,000 - Art photos (illustration ₩10,000, 3D ₩30,000) — ₩10,000–30,000 - ID card, 8 prints with files provided — ₩30,000 - Country-specific visa photos — ₩30,000–40,000 - Country-specific permanent residency photos (Canada, etc.) — ₩30,000–40,000 - Half-body profile — ₩50,000 - Job application, employee ID, premium ID photo — ₩50,000 - Profile photo — ₩80,000 - Makeup & hair — ₩80,000–100,000 - Family photo (11-cut frame, files) — ₩170,000 Prices seemed cheaper than other studios too. Even for the same shoot, you get more prints, plus there are generous perks like the Naver review event, so be sure to check before you visit and get the discount! Also, note that the 'file printing' options are for printing photos you already have — not new shoots — so check that before you go. ## Inside the studio ![Clean, spacious interior of the photo studio](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-06-1tg71-900.webp) ![Waiting seats where companions can sit](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-07-jh97b-900.webp) The inside of the studio is really clean and spacious. There's a separate waiting area, so even if you go with someone, you can both wait comfortably. ### MAKE UP ROOM ![Mirror and lighting in Deokseu Gallery's makeup room](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-08-1bepw-900.webp) ![Makeup room with curling iron and hair products organized](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-09-k4yrv-900.webp) What made Deokseu Gallery special was this separate makeup room — everything from a curling iron to various hair products is neatly organized. It was great for fixing up your face right before the shoot, haha. ![Rack of shirts provided for photo shoots](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-10-2i4tm-900.webp) ![Suit tops for profile and job application ID photos](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-11-l84ou-900.webp) Inside, there are also shirts to wear for profile photos or job application ID photos, so it's the perfect place if you suddenly need a photo while out and don't have a suit like that at home. ![Photo studio setup with lighting equipment](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-12-1358p-900.webp) ![Shooting space with backdrop and camera set up](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-13-dlag7-900.webp) ## How the passport + driver's license, 8-print shoot went I went with the passport + driver's license package, 8 prints with digital files, for ₩30,000. Once the shoot started, the lights turned on and the owner coached me on pose, expression, and positioning step by step, which made it easy to feel comfortable during the shoot. ![Monitor screen for choosing photos right after the shoot](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-14-jcupp-900.webp) ![Work desk where retouching is checked side by side](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-15-1brhy-m-900.webp) The shoot itself was done within 5 minutes, then right away you pick your photo and it goes into retouching — the owner sat next to me, helped pick the photo I wanted, and carefully checked which parts I wanted more attention on during the retouching, which was nice. ![Printed passport and driver's license photos](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-16-10c7y-900.webp) ![Same-day printed photo package](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-17-13jgb-900.webp) ## Smartphone photo printing too I also got a smartphone photo printed on the side — you just email them the photo from your phone, pick a size, and they print it as is! The quality was noticeably sharp with no loss in resolution, so I'd recommend it for keepsakes. ![Photo printed from a smartphone image](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day-18-wwsjz-m-900.webp) I heard a lot of celebrities have come through here too. The photos and retouching were satisfying, and most of all, the whole thing wraps up within 15 minutes — there's no reason not to go, haha. If you need passport photos, visas, profile shots, or anything similar, I'd recommend the professional Seolleung Station studio Deokseu Gallery! ## Where it is - Deokseu Gallery (선릉역사진관 덕스갤러리) - 401 Teheran-ro B1F, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 테헤란로 401 B1F - 37.5049841, 127.0491606 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%84%A0%EB%A6%89%EC%97%AD%EC%82%AC%EC%A7%84%EA%B4%80%20%EB%8D%95%EC%8A%A4%EA%B0%A4%EB%9F%AC%EB%A6%AC/@37.5049841,127.0491606,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-mirror-shelf/seolleung-photo-studio-passport-driver-license-same-day/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
