Lights, camera… and one little Chinatown film shop that gets a lot of action.
A tiny, unassuming photography store on 77 Elizabeth St. is suddenly the hottest place in town for a glow-up — the passport kind.
Eliz Digital, a cramped Chinatown photo counter, has amassed a cult following of New Yorkers sprinting in for a photo that somehow makes federal ID requirements look flattering.
The wizard behind the lens? Owner Chunika Kesh — though she swears she’s no photo magician, as explained in a recent interview with CNN .
She said she has “no secret” to her viral portraits and credits the craze to something much simpler: making people feel relaxed in front of the camera.
Whatever she’s doing, it’s working — and the internet can’t get enough.
