Here are the shot lists for April 2025, reflecting customer requests and the latest trends.
[4-Person Family and Newborn]
On February 27th, the Financial Services Commission revealed its "2025 Household Debt Management Plan," which included the "Home Loan Program Operation Plan." A key point that caught the public's attention in the plan for this low-interest policy loan, managed by the Korea Housing Finance Corporation, was the relaxation of the preferential criteria for multi-child households due to the low birthrate issue. The target for these preferential loans was reduced from three children to two children.
Therefore, it is expected that the demand for images symbolizing birth rates, such as newborns, and the newly emerged image of a four-person family based on the multi-child household criteria, will increase. Create images with a warm and friendly atmosphere, focus on these themes.
[Various Track and Field Sports]
In May 2025, the Asian Athletics Championships will be held in Gumi, Gyeongsangbuk-do. As Asia's largest athletics event, it will feature 40 different events, including short, middle, and long-distance running, hurdles, high jump, pole vault, long jump, shot put, discus, hammer throw, javelin, and more.
How about planning a complete series of images that capture the essence of these events, with the attention of the Asian sports community focused on the competition and its disciplines?
[Young People Enjoying Exhibitions and Performances]
With various welfare initiatives being newly established for the younger generation who will lead the future, the "Seoul Youth Culture Pass" organized by the Seoul Metropolitan Government is one of the programs that directly supports the cultural lives of young people, respecting their right to enjoy culture.
The program provides opportunities for young people aged 20 to 23 to enjoy musicals, theater, classical music, opera, ballet, dance, and traditional Korean music performances. Why not create content focusing on the participation of young people in exhibitions and performances, which is expected to expand in the future?
[Spring Scenery Across the Country and Props Using Spring Colors]
Spring in Korea, with its warm sunlight and abundant vitality, is the perfect season for landscape photography. Therefore, you can express the beauty of the season through visual language by capturing the full bloom of cherry blossoms, canola flowers, and plum blossoms across various travel destinations in the country.
Moreover, if you choose Jeju Island as your shooting location, keep in mind that Jeju is currently holding a special eco-tourism initiative aimed at preserving and finding sustainable ways to utilize its unique environmental assets, such as the "Gotjawal" (primitive forest area) and "Oreum" (small volcanic mountains surrounding a large volcano).
Additionally, incorporating props that highlight the spring colors found in nature, like green and yellow, pink and white, would be a great idea to deliver a fresh and positive image to viewers.
