About Us
Art × design = see yourself reflected
Not just a camera in a box — a piece of design that speaks
You step up to the mirror and the light settles quietly on your face. No photographer, no directions, no countdown — no operator and no one else in the frame, just you, looking into your own eyes.
The Self-Portrait Project Taipei comes out of Brooklyn, New York, founded by National Geographic photographer Andy Lin. It returns photography to its simplest premise — the whole system is built so you decide how you're seen.
This is a designed experience built around self-expression, one where even people who dread the camera can find their confidence in the mirror. Drawing on art and social engagement, it turns taking a picture into an act of authorship. It's an interactive art installation disguised as a photo booth — a mirror that catches confidence and genuine feeling. Fine-art photography, American craft design, and real-time interactive technology come together so anyone can take the shot on their own terms and meet the best version of themselves in the glass.

What's behind the mirror
Our mirror puts art and technology in the same cabinet: a two-way mirror, a camera behind the glass, and the remote in your hand — a professional camera fired by the participant's own trigger, so you keep the expression you make when nobody is watching.
Afterwards, scan the QR code on the mirror and your photos download straight away — the portrait is yours before you leave the room, that natural, subtle, unguarded version of you.
The system · technology
Built from scratch.
Every part of SPP Taipei — the two-way mirror, the software, the photo archive — we built ourselves. It adapts to any space, and we keep evolving it as needs change.

Why work with us
From camera anxiety to a confident gaze
No operator and no one else in the frame — you see only yourself, looking into your own eyes. That removes the anxiety of being photographed and replaces it with a sense of control. It works for shy people and camera-shy guests, and for brands that want a self-portrait, not a posed booth photo.
An object worth looking at
The cabinet is built from walnut and metal, closer to designer furniture than to equipment. It belongs in galleries, brand pop-ups, weddings and receptions. Every shoot feels like using a portable art installation.
U.S. patent × art roots × Taiwanese craft
An artistic idea from New York, carrying Brooklyn's international perspective, founded by National Geographic photographer Andy Lin and shown at 900+ exhibitions and brand events worldwide. Brought to Taiwan and reshaped by a local team, translating that Brooklyn spirit into an experience that lands here.
High engagement, built to be shared
Participants choose their own moment, so the interaction is natural and the images are real. Instant delivery suits live social posting, and custom frames plus a CTA link turn the booth into a channel that sends people to your brand.
Studio-grade light
A professional camera and lighting system deliver studio-grade capture that's genuinely self-authored. The same shoot serves both as event documentation and as brand content, delivered consistently and finished to a standard that lifts the whole event.

Explore weddingsPlanning the room
We've set the mirror up in hotel ballrooms, exhibition halls, galleries, and pop-up stores. The logistics are simple — here are the questions venues ask most.

The mirror is freestanding — against a wall, in a corner, or at the center of the room, scaled to the space.
Power
One standard outlet. No special circuits.
Connectivity
Venue Wi‑Fi helps guests download faster by QR code.
Setup & breakdown
We arrive ahead of doors to set and style the mirror, and break down after close, scheduled around your venue's load-in times.
Staffing
Our on-site team stays all event — guiding guests and running prints, never in the frame.
Printing
With on-site printing, we need one table beside the mirror for the printer.
