You’ll be in a group of up to 15 people, which strikes a good balance—small enough for personalized attention but large enough for lively, friendly interactions. The overall cost is $200 per group, which might seem like a lot at first glance, but when you break it down, it covers a professional photo shoot, traditional clothes, and transportation. Given that you’re likely to get several high-quality images, the value makes sense, especially if you’re after memorable photos rather than just casual snapshots.
