This game was wonderful. Being a photographer on the side, it was fun to see what it was like in game mode.
I was impressed with the different challenges and it was a very cute game.
The graphics could have been cleaner, but it was very impressive and realistic to a real photography studio!
I recommend this game!

I can't say anything about the level of challenge since I haven't finished the whole game, but I was just so disappointed with the whole thing I felt the need to type a review.
I like the concept of taking pictures, that's new, but everything from the graphics to the sounds improvement. Show less

I played the full trial out on this one and it just didn't get any better for me. It was repetitive, difficult (mainly because the help at the start was missing bits and the mouse clicking had to be 100% accurate). There was also no chaining and an odd a pause between items, so if you clicked off too soon your character stopped doing it and moved onto the next thing.

Being a photographer myself, I was so excited to see a game about photography! I couldn't wait to play it. I should have known this game was going to be awful based upon the music you hear when you load the main menu. I decided to give it a shot anyway because I usually don't play with sound on. As I went through the tutorial, I knew I wouldn't play longer than 10 minutes. There are tons of steps ...Show more
Being a photographer myself, I was so excited to see a game about photography! I couldn't wait to play it. I should have known this game was going to be awful based upon the music you hear when you load the main menu. I decided to give it a shot anyway because I usually don't play with sound on. As I went through the tutorial, I knew I wouldn't play longer than 10 minutes. There are tons of steps in order to serve one customer, the graphics are awful, and even though I got almost perfect on each customer, I still came no where close in meeting the expected goal. I will not be recommending this to my friends. Show less

There are very few photo games that I have found and I was really excited to try this one. It didn't stand up to other games I have played. In a game I expect different machines to make different noise. Not so with this game. I couldn't stand the game. I played it for about 15 minutes and then deleted it.
I don't recommend this game.

As you progress through the game, the levels are the same and don't get harder. It was very repetitious and offered little challenge.
I don't recommend this game.

it was very boring. I hated how you really couldnt make any mistakes without having to do picture all over again. Very boring and repetitive. Only would play if I was extremely bored. I hated this game.
