Their offerings change from time to time, so you’ve got something new to look forward to on repeat visits. We’ve spotted mug shot themed rooms, classroom settings reminiscent of a ‘00s teen comedy, as well as unapologetically pink set-ups filled with plushies.

2. Solace Studios


Various locations, each with their own unique theme


Photo booth regulars 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 10 locations and 3 pop-ups islandwide so far, 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 30 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 Airline 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, and you get 2 multi-picture frame strips or 1 single-frame strip and after that, it’s $2 for every additional strip.

3. Dollop Print Club

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 has 19 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.

Unlike other self-photo booths, this one comes with a ton of adorable accessories and even costumes to use, from animal headbands to the Korean Hanbok.

The booth offers 2 different photo types – a regular 4 panelled photo strip, called “Life4Cut”, or a more dynamic 1 to 8 panelled design, titled the “Story Edition”. For 2 strips each, the “Life4Cut” version costs $10, while the “Story Edition” costs $12.

If you’ve ever come across your grandparents’ portrait shots from their younger days and wanted to recreate them for yourself, visit Hip Xiong Photo Studio to discover the novelty of tintype wet-plate photography.

Being the first and only of its kind in Singapore, this studio uses a photography technique dating back to the 1850s to create vintage portraits. By coating blackened metal plates – tintypes – with photosensitive chemicals, you’ll receive a one-of-a-kind image that can’t be achieved digitally.

Say Chunkie! Studio – Quirky handcrafted backdrops and props

Image credit: @saychunkie.studio via Instagram

Home to the eclectic Chunkie Filmhouse, Say Chunkie! Studio is a creative space that doubles as a funky, themed photo studio. Although the theme changes from time to time, what remains consistent is the lovingly handcrafted backdrops, props, and retro vibes.

Most recently, the studio sported an Oceanic, Frutiger Aero-themed look — complete with paper mache marine life — that recalls the time of Windows Vista and early touchscreen phones. Other times, they’ve had a campy sci-fi set, recreated nostalgic Christmas photos, built a giant paper mache dragon for CNY, and more.

photo studios - saychunkie
Image credit: @saychunkie.studio via Instagram

In the off seasons when there’s no theme, the studio features handpainted 80s-inspired gradient backgrounds, available in three colours: blue, pink and green. Their seasonal props aren’t  available during this time, but rest assured there’ll still be a range of eccentric props to choose from.

While themed photo sessions range from $80-$200 per booking depending on the number of pax, off season booking prices vary and can be enquired through their IG. Each photo session is 30 minutes long, with 15 minutes of choosing time. Included in the price of the session are 8 digital copies, and 1 4R-sized print.
