– Where are the best photo booths in Singapore –

Regardless of what themes you’re looking for, there are plenty of options to choose from ranging from classic photo booths in Singapore to ones with free costumes and props.


1. Solace Studios


Various locations, each with their own unique theme


Photo booth regulars in Singapore will definitely have heard of Solace Studios, as they house some of the most vibe-y sets around to conduct your photoshoots in. They’ve got 20 locations and a few pop-ups islandwide, including quirky concept studios like Pic Up!, with high-angle cameras, and Laundrosnap, a laundromat-themed booth.

However, the 2 that stand out from the bunch are their studios at 73 Haji Lane and Orchard Gateway.

Called Solace Airlines and Solace Station respectively, these studios mimic scenes straight from an airport and train station. The aviation-themed Solace Airlines is perfect for you to play pretend with their aeroplane window seats and replica passports if you’ve already used up all your ALs.

On the other hand, K-drama fans can recreate cheesy “first encounter” scenes at Solace Station, with its shiny train cabins. Regardless of which backdrop you pick, prices start at $10 for 2 photo strips, with digital copies also included in various formats like JPG and GIF. You can also get a Mega Strip for $20 or a Newspaper cut for $12 for 2 pieces.

If you’re a 2000s baby, you’ll probably remember taking cutesy NeoPrints at arcades after school. In fact, the fad was so huge that most kids had little photo strips pasted at the back of their phones. If you’re craving some early 2000s nostalgia, you’ll be glad to hear about Dollop Print Club.

This photo booth in Singapore has 21 outlets islandwide, and is essentially an upgraded version of the NeoPrint booths we’re familiar with. For $10 for 2 strips, you’ll get to choose from an assortment of pretty frames, and even receive a complimentary digital GIF version of your pics in your email.
