About Golden Years

Golden Years was founded by a photographer who loves to travel and seeks joy and freedom. The founder wanted to explore the world in a unique way, infusing a passionate and challenging approach to life into their photographic creations. They also wanted to bring these elements to the public, which led to the opening of this distinctive Taipei Professional Headshots venue.
✦Location and Transportation
Golden Years is conveniently located across from The Okura Prestige Taipei, just a five-minute walk from MRT Zhongshan Station Exit 2. Follow the Golden Years sign on the ground floor, then take the elevator to the 4th floor to reach the photography studio, tucked away in a commercial building. There are a few scooter parking spots nearby, but during busy weekends, parking can be hard to find, so taking the MRT is recommended.

✦The Venue
Stepping into Golden Years, Amber immediately noticed the thoughtful layout of this Taipei Professional Headshots venue, with a sofa lounge, makeup area, photo studio, and photo selection zone—all perfectly functional and well-organized.

There's even an ironing station where you can hang up shirts and jackets for your shoot and use an iron, a thoughtful detail Amber truly appreciated.

Golden Years: My Experience with Image Photo Shoots

Amber booked her Taipei Professional Headshots session directly through the Golden Years website, where available slots for the next three weeks were conveniently displayed. After the shoot, the photographer informed her that the retouched individual photos would be delivered within one week, with an option for next-day expedited delivery at an additional charge.
Overall, Amber found Golden Years to be conveniently located and highly professional. With professional headshots starting at under NT$1,000, it's an excellent choice for budget-conscious job seekers looking for quality Taipei Professional Headshots.
✦Image Photo Hair & Makeup Service (Currently Unavailable)
I'd heard great things about Golden Years, so this time Amber decided to try their Taipei Professional Headshots package, including hair and makeup, hoping a professional stylist could help her look even more photogenic!

Amber arrived without makeup, and the venue provided cosmetics, disposable foundation sponges, and lip brushes. However, the makeup artist mentioned that guests are welcome to bring their own preferred makeup if they have it.

After about 30 minutes, with the makeup artist's skillful application and curling iron styling, Amber saw her makeup looking naturally photogenic. She felt that adding NT$800 for a makeup artist to handle her hair and makeup was incredibly good value, and she was very satisfied with the natural, light look.
Tips for Your Personal Branding Photoshoot

If this is your first time getting Taipei Professional Headshots and you're unsure what to wear, you can ask the venue for advice, check out their makeup and hair services, or even bring several outfits to the shoot and let the makeup artist or photographer help you choose.
For even better results, start adjusting your routine a week before your session. Get plenty of sleep and take good care of your skin. This will help prevent breakouts and ensure your makeup looks flawless, resulting in vibrant, energetic photos!
✦What to wear for your personal branding photoshoot
Amber reminds everyone to prepare a few suitable outfits before your Taipei Professional Headshots session. For business headshots, suits or professional attire are recommended. For personal headshots, you can choose your favorite clothing, but pay attention to outfit coordination and overall effect.

✦Get a good night's sleep the day before your photoshoot.
When it comes to photo editing, Golden Years stands out from other venues by focusing on a natural style that emphasizes fresh, authentic features. So, make sure you get a good night's sleep the day before to look your best; the rest you can confidently leave to the stylist and photographer.
