The Snap House, Tampa’s First Selfie Studio Opens in

Ybor City

– The new 1-Hour Photo Experience that delivers family-oriented, kid-friendly fun to

Ybor City

– Feature’s artwork and designs of local artists

Tampa, FL, Jan 2021 – Find the perfect background … strike a pose … and start snapping away

with your mobile phone. Everyone is doing it for “likes” in today’s social media driven and

interconnected network of friends and followers: the perfect selfie! No longer do you have to

drive around town to find the perfect background, scenery or mural. The Snap House, Tampa’s

first Selfie Studio, opening in Ybor City is your one stop shop for a selfie shot or special event

photography. 

Three families with roots in the Tampa Bay area, who represent several diverse and

under-represented demographic groups in small business have launched The Snap House in

Tampa’s Historic Ybor District. With doors set to open to the public on Sunday, January 23rd,

the new 1-hour photo experience comes just in time for the anticipated influx of fans and

celebrities visiting Tampa for Super Bowl LV. The Snap House is a self-portrait inspired studio

consisting of 23 styled scenes or backgrounds, each uniquely decorated to cover the

full-spectrum of your social media mood. Designs range from chic, to whimsical, to inspirational,

to colorful and edgy street art — all of which are sure to help you gain views and likes across all

of the social media platforms.

The Snap House features detailed murals painted by local artists and will continue to highlight

the works of others as the studio plans to change the designs several times throughout the

calendar year. “We want to put the talents of Tampa artists on display and allow them to inspire

and pay homage to the city and surrounding area that we all know and love”, says Rick Moore,

co-owner of The Snap House. “This photo experience is not your average department store

portrait studio. There are photo studios in town, but none with the access and price point The

Snap House offers. Here you get to play the role of the director, the cinematographer, and the

star, and in the end have instant gratification with the results of your final product ready to post

and share across your socials.”

In mid-2019, Google reported 93 million selfies were taken per day on their Android devices.

The vision The Snap House is to deliver a safe, family-friendly, and fun-filled event space where

guests of all ages can come together and create expressive self-portraits in a professionally

designed photo studio environment. The Snap House transcends all socio-economic

boundaries, delivering moments in time palettes that offer photogs of all skill levels in a

controlled setting to create and engage in a fun environment that fosters creativity and

individuality. Whether your style is everyday casual or haute couture, The Snap House will

deliver your desired scenes and range of emotions that will raise eyebrows and likes!
