These days, a good selfie doesn’t just entail a smile and a peace sign on the side. For a picture to be deemed IG-worthy, you’ll have to up your game with unique backdrops and suitable outfits.
The options are endless with numerous self-photo studios in Singapore. But if you’re looking for an all-in-one place for a myriad of creative photos, check out iWan Selfie Studio. They’re bringing out the big guns with 11 themed rooms with 20 different backgrounds for you to pose with.
Set conveniently at KH Plaza, iWan Studio is a quick 5-minute walk from Aljunied MRT. You’ll have 11 themed rooms with 20 backdrops at your disposal to fully get into character when posing. We’re not talking props and backdrops crammed into a corner either; we’re talking setups that are worthy of pre-wedding and family pics that’ll last for years to come.

Those who’re feeling nostalgic can make use of the traditional Oriental Chic setup which is split into two zones: a Chinese calligraphy area and a Japanese tea house area.

While you’re at the studio, get into character with the large selection of clothes and accessories available for your use.

While you’re here, be sure to stop by iWan Studio’s Breakup Museum. Here, you can showcase items belonging to those that have broken your heart, such as handwritten letters or movie snubs. If this helps you heal and move on, I’d say go for it. The studio allows you to leave it there after your shoot and will check if you want it back or to throw it away after a month.
If you’re past that stage and ready to meet someone new, the studio also has a Match-making Room that includes a wall of jars holding strangers’ phone numbers. Pick a jar based on your horoscope and feel free to start a conversation with your match.
You don’t necessarily need to fork out a lot of money to get cool photos. iWan Studio’s rates go by the hour, from $29.90/person. The rates are inclusive of access to all rooms, outfits and makeup and styling services by the staff. The studio will revamp their themes every few months so you can go back again to check out the new sets.
For those planning a family photoshoot, you’ll be pleased to know that your ‘lil ones can enjoy a 50% discount so long as they are 12 years old and below. All children below six years old can enter for free.
Let out your inner Tyra Banks and gather your friends and family for a session at iWan Selfie Studios.
