Camera no Kitamura Nagoya Used Camera Buyback Center

Camera no Kitamura is a camera shop chain with more than 600 stores across Japan, and it takes ID photos in its stores.

How to Choose a Job-Hunting Photo Studio in Nagoya

When choosing a studio for your ID photo, keep these 3 points in mind!

① Does it fit your budget?

The first point is that the price fits your budget. Job hunting costs money in many ways: you may need to buy a suit, shirts, and a bag, and you will pay for transportation to travel to information sessions and selection events in various places.
To job hunt without overstretching yourself, it is a good idea to set your own budget.

Job hunting costs money in many ways. Some people are also too busy with interviews and information sessions to work part-time... This article looks at how much job hunting costs and how to save money…

That said, cheaper is not always better. If you are not happy with the result and have to retake the photo, the cost of the shoot doubles. Look at the balance between price and quality, and choose a studio whose results you will be happy with.

② Does it offer the services you need?

The second point is to check whether the services you need are included.
Check that the plan you are considering includes everything you want. For example:
• Retakes on the spot
• Retouching (photo editing)
• Printed photos, and so on

If a service you want is not included, you will need to order it as an add-on option.
To avoid regrets such as "I thought that service was included" or "I booked a cheap plan, but adding options pushed me over budget," we recommend checking in advance.

③ Can you receive the photo data?

The third point, whether you can receive your photo as digital data, is very important.
Rikunabi's OpenES, Mynavi's My CareerBox (both major job-hunting platforms in Japan), and the personal account pages of some companies require you to upload your ID photo as digital data. You can scan a printed photo and upload it, but the image quality is much worse, so we don't recommend it. Upload a photo you received as data instead.

For that reason, it is essential to choose a studio that provides photo data.

Summary

In this article, we introduced recommended ID photo studios in Nagoya. If you are job hunting in Aichi, we hope this helps!

With so many universities and vocational schools in the area, there is a wide variety of studios to choose from. Pick the studio that suits you best, and get an ID photo you are happy with.
