Our Story – How Scalens Studio Was Born
The Beginning – Sydney, 2017
In 2017, the founder of Scalens Studio travelled solo to Australia, fulfilling a lifelong dream of visiting Sydney.
Seeing the Sydney Opera House for the first time was a surreal and emotional moment. Like many travelers, she wanted to capture it perfectly and share the memory.
But there was one challenge: she was travelling alone.
She tried taking selfies, but they didn’t reflect the moment the way she imagined. She asked strangers for help, hoping for a great photo — but the results were disappointing.
Photos were rushed, poorly framed, and often unusable:
legs cut out of the frame
closed eyes
awkward angles
missed emotions
That moment sparked an idea.
“It would be amazing to have someone like an Instagram travel friend — someone who understands your vision, captures your best angles, and never rushes the process.”
Moving to London – The Realization
A few months later, after moving to London, she noticed the same situation happening around iconic landmarks like Tower Bridge, Big Ben, and the London Eye. Tourists were asking strangers for photos, struggling with awkward selfies, and often leaving without properly capturing their memories. That’s when she realized: This wasn’t just her problem. It was a common experience shared by travelers around the world.
The Idea Behind Scalens Studio
Scalens Studio was created to solve this problem.
The idea was simple: create a photography experience that feels like having your own personal travel photographer and local friend.
Someone who:
takes as many photos as needed without rushing
helps clients feel comfortable and confident
knows the best hidden and iconic London locations
guides natural posing and storytelling
From this idea, Scalens Studio was born.
