The Fujifilm Wonder Photo Shop is a new brick-and-mortar retail location in Manhattan's Flatiron District. More than just a store for purchasing Fujifilm products or getting photos developed, the Wonder Photo Shop offers consumers a wealth of photography-related creative experiences.
One of the biggest draws of the Wonder Photo Shop is in how it harnesses Fujifilm's history as a photography company. Fujifilm has experience with developing and printing film photos, so it's extended that experience to the most common medium for modern photo-taking: smartphones. Consumers can stop by the Wonder Photo Shop to get their smartphone pictures professionally printed on the spot. The shop also offers DIY craft tutorials and workshops to help transform those prints into works of art.
