The Mills' current official shop page welcomes visitors with their animal companions and introduces shops and activities across the venue. If you already plan to take your pet there, you can place a THIS FILM indoor portrait session near The Mills on the same day.
THIS FILM is at Million Fortune Industrial Centre in Tsuen Wan, near The Mills. Complete the fixed-time studio appointment first, then plan the visit according to your pet's condition on the day.
Why photograph first and visit The Mills afterwards?
A studio appointment has a fixed time, while a shopping visit is easier to shorten or extend. Photographing first avoids rushing because the earlier visit took longer than expected and lets you adapt the rest of the day to your pet's condition.
- Energy and attention: crowds, sound and other animals may leave some pets tired or overstimulated. Photographing first removes that extra uncertainty from the session.
- Neater grooming: fur, eyes, collar and optional accessories can be checked immediately before the camera rather than after a long outing.
- An easier decision afterwards: offer water, a toilet break and rest after the session, then decide whether your pet is comfortable continuing to The Mills.
This is not a fixed rule for every pet. A shy, senior or easily overwhelmed pet should always be given a pace that prioritises comfort.
A simple same-day plan
- Before leaving: confirm the THIS FILM appointment and check the day's opening hours, events and pet arrangements for the places you want to visit at The Mills.
- Go to the studio first: arrive at the THIS FILM Tsuen Wan studio for the confirmed appointment time.
- Complete the indoor session: the packages combine a pet-and-owner set with themed pet-only portraits, subject to the selected package and a size check.
- Reassess after the session: offer water, grooming and rest as needed. Continue only if your pet is comfortable.
- At The Mills: follow on-site directions plus the current rules of each event and tenant you enter.
What to pack for both parts of the day
- a secure lead and harness, or a suitable carrier, plus identification;
- water and a bowl your pet is comfortable using;
- familiar treats and one manageable favourite toy;
- waste bags, pee pads, tissues and wipes for accidents;
- a brush, small towel and simple grooming supplies.
Pet clothing is optional. If your pet does not normally wear an outfit, the same-day plan is not a good time to introduce one for the first time. See the full pet photography preparation checklist for personality notes and session items.
A quick check before leaving
Start with The Mills' official opening hours, address and transport page, then check its shop and dining information for the places you intend to visit. Recheck the day's event, individual tenant and on-site requirements before you go.
For the photography part, compare the current THIS FILM pet photography packages, then browse all selectable studio scenes to distinguish pet-and-owner from themed pet-only sets. Share your pet's breed, approximate size, number of pets, personality and preferred date when enquiring.
