Photographs you can walk around in.
Chrono Photo makes volumetric portraits — real people, real light, captured in 3D Gaussian Splatting and kept for you to revisit from any angle.
Chrono Photo makes volumetric portraits — real people, real light, captured in 3D Gaussian Splatting and kept for you to revisit from any angle.
A photograph keeps one angle of a moment. We keep the room it happened in — the light on a sleeve, the turn of a head, the way a family stood together. Then we give it back as something you can walk around.
A grandmother’s hands. A father’s frown. The way you used to stand, and the first uneven steps of a child. Video loses the angles; photographs keep only one.
One day someone not yet born will ask what their great-grandfather was like. We would like them to be able to walk around to the front of him and look.
One afternoon, several ages, held in a single space — and passed down.
A ring of synchronised cameras freezes you in a fraction of a second. Sessions run 15–90 minutes, and nobody has to hold still for long.
Every frame is trained into a 3D Gaussian Splat — millions of soft points of light — then cleaned by hand, floaters and all.
You receive a private link, a printed scan card and, depending on the collection, a lenticular frame that shifts as you walk past it.
Two people, exactly as they stood.
Tiny hands, captured in a blink by synchronised cameras.
Let them sit in the middle and talk. At the studio, or at home in their own light.
Everyone in one space, for the generation after.
Imagery on this page is art direction, not client work. Real portraits are only ever shown with the sitter’s written permission.
Phone, laptop or VR headset. Drag to orbit, pinch to move closer. Hosted for three years — five for Heirloom.
No power, no screen. A printed lens-array that reveals a new angle of the sitter as you walk past it.
Your portrait as a file you keep forever — included with Heirloom, or available as an add-on.
Fixed prices in Chinese yuan (CNY). Capture, reconstruction, hosting and physical pieces are included — nothing is added on the day.
Add-ons are charged only after you confirm them. The hosting period starts on delivery of your link; we email a reminder 30 days before it ends. Home visits are within the studio’s city; travel beyond is quoted in writing before you book. Portraits are made to order for you — please read the Refund & Reshoot Policy before booking.
We process your images only to make your portrait. For anyone under 14, a parent or guardian gives consent in writing before the session.
Privacy PolicyYour link is sent to you alone. We never publish, share or use a portrait for marketing without your written permission.
Terms of ServiceAsk and we delete your images and portrait. This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising trackers.
Refund & Reshoot PolicyVery common. Come and look first — no obligation. Or begin with a family portrait; they relax once they are among everyone. Choose the hour they are at their best, and let them wear what they love. We never rush.
Adults hold a relaxed pose for a few seconds to a couple of minutes — we guide you. Children are captured by synchronised cameras in a single instant, so they don’t need to keep still.
We email you 30 days before the hosting period ends. You can renew for ¥39 per year, or buy the offline archive (¥99) and keep the file forever.
A print finished with a fine lens array. Look from different angles and you see slightly different views of the portrait, so it appears to turn as you walk by. It is not a screen and needs no power.
Sessions are by appointment. We confirm the studio address when your booking is agreed. Heirloom sessions can take place at home within the studio’s city.
No — not without your written permission. If we’d like to show it, we’ll ask first, and you can say no.
If the reconstruction has visible faults on our side — fragmenting, ghosting — we reshoot for free. If the second attempt still falls short, we refund that portrait in full. Full terms are in the Refund & Reshoot Policy.
No payment is taken on this website. After your booking is confirmed we send payment details by email with the exact total.
Write to us with who you’d like to photograph and when. We reply within 1–2 working days with availability and the exact price.
