How it's used
Refers specifically to a professional indoor space equipped with lighting and backdrops for portraiture or commercial photography. While modern digital photography has made home setups more common, this term remains the standard way to describe a commercial business offering these services. It is distinct from a simple shop that only prints photos, which would be called 沖印店.
