3D Miniature Printing for New York City Keepsakes
Send a photo from anywhere in the five boroughs and we'll turn it into a hand-painted 3D figurine, approved by you before anything gets printed.
Why a photo from New York works so well as a figurine
New York apartments don't have much wall space to spare, and most people here already have more framed photos than they know what to do with. A figurine takes up a few inches of a windowsill or a bookshelf instead of another spot on a crowded wall, and it holds up in a way a print behind glass doesn't, you can actually turn it around and look at it from every angle.
Between the five boroughs there's no shortage of the kind of photo that makes a good figurine: a couple on the Brooklyn Bridge, a dog in Prospect Park, a graduation photo taken outside a building that took four years to walk into. We don't need a studio-quality shot. A clear photo from a phone, taken on a stoop or a subway platform or wherever the moment actually happened, is exactly what our artists work from.
How Fins Studio serves New York
We're an online figurine studio, not a local storefront in New York or anywhere else. Every order works the same way regardless of where it ships: you send one photo, our artists hand-sculpt a 3D model, and we email you a preview to approve before anything is printed. Once you approve it, we 3D print the piece, hand-paint it, and ship it to your door with tracking.
That means no showroom to visit and no rush appointment to book, just a straightforward process that works whether you're ordering from downtown New York or a suburb an hour outside it.

What New York customers turn into a figurine
The photo you already have is usually the right one. Here's what most orders from New York tend to be.
- ✓A wedding or engagement photo turned into a keepsake for the mantel or a new apartment
- ✓A family portrait rebuilt as one figurine, sized so nobody gets left out of the frame
- ✓A pet portrait for a dog or cat that's part of the household, in whatever pose actually looks like them
- ✓A graduation photo in the cap and gown, made the year it happened instead of years later

What photo should I send?
There's no need for professional photography. Most figurines we build in New York start from an ordinary phone photo.
- ✓One person, a couple, a family, or a pet, clearly visible and in focus
- ✓Regular indoor or outdoor lighting works, a studio photo isn't required
- ✓A phone photo you already have is usually good enough to start with
- ✓Send a second photo if faces are partly turned or covered by sunglasses or shadow
Common questions from New York customers
Do you have a store in New York?
No. Fins Studio is an online figurine studio that ships to New York and the rest of the country. There's no local storefront to visit, everything is handled through photo upload, an emailed 3D preview, and shipping.
How long does an order to New York take?
Most orders take about two weeks from the day you place it to the day it arrives, printing, hand-painting, and shipping included. You'll get a 3D preview to approve within 48 to 72 hours of ordering, and nothing prints until you approve it.
I only have an indoor photo with mixed lighting, does that still work for a New York apartment shot?
Usually, yes. Our artists are used to working from ordinary phone photos taken indoors under regular room lighting, not professional studio shots. What matters most is that your face and expression are clearly visible in the photo, not the quality of the background or lighting.
Can you make a figurine from a photo taken outside, like in Central Park or on the subway?
Yes. Outdoor and public-space photos work fine as long as the subject is reasonably in focus. If there are other people or background clutter in the frame, our artists focus the sculpt on you and whoever else you want included, not the scenery behind you.
