6 Tips for capturing the best pictures at IKONO

June 4, 2025

At IKONO, every corner is designed to awaken the senses and become the perfect setting for capturing unforgettable moments. We know that in an immersive experience, every detail matters. That’s why we’re sharing these 6 tips to help you make the most of each space and take your best photos. Enjoy a complete experience where you won’t just live the moment—you’ll also capture lasting memories. 

1. Capture real moments in the Ball Pit 

Authenticity always wins. Instead of aiming for forced poses or over-produced scenes, focus on capturing what’s truly happening. Embrace the natural way you play and interact in the ball pit—this is when the experience helps you let go and simply enjoy the present, reconnecting with your inner child. 

A spontaneous laugh, a look of awe, a natural gesture… these are the moments that truly connect and make your photos speak for themselves. 

2. Light is everything 

Lighting is everything. Take full advantage of the ambient light in the Lantern Room and observe how it interacts with the space. Every glow and shadow adds to the magic of the experience. Instead of chasing the perfect light, explore how the hanging lanterns interact with you and your surroundings. Move around, shift angles, come closer or step back to discover how the intensity and direction of the light can transform each shot. 

Use the lantern-lit atmosphere to capture moments filled with creativity and emotion. Allow yourself to experiment—a simple change in perspective can turn an ordinary moment into an extraordinary image. 

3. Bring movement into the frame 

Don’t be afraid of movement. Someone spinning, walking, dancing, or simply engaging with the space adds life and energy to your photos. Movement brings the image to life—and that’s what we want to remember: a memory full of energy and sensation.

4. Tell a story 

Every photo has the power to tell a story. Think about what you want to express with your image—is it wonder? Joy? Reflection? In photo composition, color, expression, and background are your tools to create something meaningful. A great image isn’t just beautiful—it evokes emotion. 

5. Let go of perfection 

In a space as unique and original as IKONO’s, you don’t need to force anything. Sometimes, a slightly blurry shot or one that’s out of frame can say more than a technically perfect image. Imperfection has its own beauty—let the experience flow, and your photos will reflect it. 

6. Patience Is key 

Wait for the right moment. Observe, breathe, and don’t shoot just for the sake of it. Often, the best image appears when you least expect it. A beam of light crossing the space, an unexpected reaction, or a fleeting mix of colors can surprise you with the result. Be patient and stay aware. 

Capture memories that last a lifetime 

At IKONO, every room and sensory element is designed to make you feel, live, and remember. You don’t have to be a professional photographer to take home memorable images. All you need is to live the moment, look with intention, and let your creativity spark in this sensory space where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
