They are aplenty on our shores due to their popularity, so it can get pretty overwhelming when it comes to choosing one particular spot.

Well, let’s say you’ve exhausted all the photo booths in Singapore, are looking for a background to complement your coquette-inspired outfit, or are around the Orchard area, there’s thankfully a new place for you to head down to.

Hana Film’s second outlet at Orchard Central is Singapore’s very first hotel-themed self-photo studio, and you’ll get a sense of checking in with the minor decor pieces displayed throughout the space.

You’ll get to select your desired theme through a ‘room service’ menu, before touching up your makeup and hair at the vanity counters. Yes, there are hair styling tools provided, in case you’re wondering.

Other touches include vintage wall panels, an antique telephone, a golden tea trolley and silver dish trays, which gives the studio a slight old-school luxe vibe.

What’s a photobooth without fun and cute props, right? Pick from a wide range of accessories like capybara headbands, Y2K-style headphones, furry sunglasses and more to amp up your photos.

While there are four themed rooms available, I can safely bet that most of y’all will want to be in the “Top Down” booth, which is where you can find a cloud-shaped sofa lined with pillows, plush toys and a blanket.

If you were to fall asleep on it, I wouldn’t blame you.

The room is decorated with artsy posters on the walls, with one featuring a bunch of pink ribbons (coquette, anyone?), and a green chequered rug that adds a pop of colour and texture to your top-down photos (hence its name).

For those who’ve been to Hana Film’s 1st outlet, you can get its affordable prices here as well. Strips come at S$10 for two Strips, S$10 for Multi-Cut and S$10 for ID Photo, with an additional copy at S$2.

Once you’re done, don’t forget to adorn your pics with the free washi tapes offered.

Hana Film Orchard Central closes at 12am daily, so make sure to head over for some snaps to end your night on a high!

I’m sure by now we are all pretty familiar with the self-photo studio scene in Singapore — it’s literally booming. Besides, it’s almost a ritual at this point for most Gen Z’s to visit one whenever they are out with friends. 

Well, if you’re a lover of self-photo srudios you’ll definitely wanna check out these MRT-themed photobooths. 

Solace Station is actually Solace Studios’ latest concept and they can be found at the brand’s newest outlet in Orchard Gateway. The entrance of the store also has three gantries — just like the ones at the real train station. 

The new outlet features a total of five rooms, three of which are MRT-themed — that’s right, MRT train cabins to be specific. The other two rooms sport the classic grey and white backgrounds. 

Props to them for going all out with the decor because the room is really giving MRT core. Just look at the high-angle train cabin with two corner seats! Don’t worry, you won’t get shamed for sitting on the priority seat here (hopefully). 

The room is fitted with handlebars, grab poles and even an emergency exit — talk about attention to detail. Although, you should know that these are just for aesthetics and no you cannot climb or hang from the poles. 

The high angle style in this cabin really does make it seem like you’re being watched on the train’s CCTV — ooh, there’s an idea for your photoshoot here! 

The sliding train door cabin is where we’ll probably see a lot of people having fun. It is also the most aesthetic room of the three. The room is fitted with metal train doors that honestly adds so much more vibes to the pics. 

The last room is the fisheye lens train cabin. This time around the room definitely has more space to accommodate more people in the shot. Make sure to bring all your pals here because it’ll definitely be more fun and way more chaotic. 

Apart from the train-themed booths, there are also matching train-themed photo strips you’ll get to take home with you . 

Price-wise, the train cabin session costs S$12 and you’ll get to take a total of eight shots. After which, you’ll get to choose between two photostrips or one multi-frame. You can also add on additional photostrips for just S$2 for two pieces, or one multi-frame for S$2. 

Meanwhile, the classic photobooth cost S$10 for two photostrips or one multi-frame, with additional prints from just S$2. 

Solace Station at Orchard Gateway officially opens on 20 April 2024 and I’ll definitely be bringing my besties here for a little photoshoot session. I might even tap my EZ-Link card at the gantry just for the laughs. 

Which camera will you be posing in front of first?

The post Solace Studios latest self-photo studio is located in Orchard featuring MRT-themed cabins, wide-angle and fish-eye lens along with matching photostrips & more appeared first on Confirm Good.

Just take a stroll down Haji lane and you’ll be surprised with the amount of self-photo studios available (not that I’m complaining). From elevator theme and fisheye lens to Taylor Swift-inspired photostrips, the choices are endless!

If you have no plans of heading to Korea — the land of photobooths — why not head somewhere closer to home like Bangkok?

Located in Lido Siam Square, Sculpture Flagship offers multiple photo automats with unique concepts. Hear this out — have you heard (or visited) a cake theme photobooth with an actual cake that you can enter? 

Okay, it may not be a real cake (think plaster cakes instead). 

The Birthday Cake (S$7.20, 190 baht) photobooth is hard to miss as it’s an enormous (almost life-size) cake sculpture decorated with ribbons of icing and crimson cherries. 

Come to think of it, the quirky exterior makes for a great photo spot as well. 

Choose from their selections of templates that make it seem like you’re in the cake itself (so there’ll be more than one snack in the photo *wink*). 

Here’s the icing on the cake: the photobooth is entirely enclosed so you don’t have to worry about people walking past if you’re shy! 

Otherwise, head to the ATM Sticky Machine (S$7.20, 190 baht) if you want photo strips that look like money (except its value won’t be affected by the GST hike). 

Don on your best denim outfit for the Denim on Denim booth for just S$6.10 (160.50 baht). If you prefer to strike a more comfortable pose, you can take a seat on a literal denim bench. 

They do have some conventional booths like the Telephoto Booth (S$6.10, 160.50 baht) or The Classic ($7.20, 190 baht). Nevertheless, they still look as stylish and sleek as the other wackier photobooths — you can never go wrong with them. 

Top up an additional S$1.90 (50 baht) at The Classic for a unique keepsake, a heart keychain, and you’ll be able to literally carry your loved ones around. 

Did I mention that they also have a separate Studio Room filled with different backdrops? You’ll get to transport yourself to a flower garden or even an elegant manor that reminds me of the Bridgerton house. 

At the studio room, you’ll get to choose the S$26.10 (690 baht) package for one to two people which includes all digital files, four printed photos, and one sculpture ID card. Do prepare your poses beforehand as you only have fifteen minutes to take all the shots you want! 

Otherwise, opt for the S$33.70 (890 baht) package for three to four people that includes all digital files, eight printed photos, and two sculpture ID cards. This place is literal heaven for people who love taking photos. 

If you’re lucky, you might catch the occasional collaboration frames with K-pop artists like Red Velvet and SHINee. Currently, they offer NCT127 themed frames (S$7.20, 190 baht) till 31 March 2024 at M floor. 

Don’t miss out on this chance to snap a picture with your bias! 

Still itching to get your hands on more photo strips? Sculpture Girlfriends is located in Siam Square Soi 5, just a stone throw away from the Sculpture Flagship.

Hang out with your girlfriends and get the Regular Pass for (S$22.30, 590 baht) to visit all four booths or the Royale Pass (S$37.40, 990 baht) to visit the booths twice. 

Best of all, they have more than ten outlets around Bangkok. The photoautomat’s designs in each location may differ but you can expect them to be equally interesting. 

Are you ready to have your cake and eat it too?

The post This quirky self-photo studio in Bangkok has an enticing life-sized cake that you can enter and other wacky themes like an ATM machine & more from just S$7 appeared first on Confirm Good.

That’s right, you’ve guessed it. There’s another self-photobooth that has just opened in Singapore and they’ve come all the way from Korea — the land where the concept of self-photobooths first started. Does the name Pickypic sound familiar? 

If you’ve been to Korea, or you’re a hardcore fan of K-POP groups like BLACKPINK, BTS, and Newjeans, you might have seen Pickypic’s photobooths before. They’ve got over 200 outlets in Korea, and they’ve even collaborated with popular brands and K-POP groups for fan events.

Good news is, they’ve finally opened their first outlet in Singapore along Haji Lane, joining the likes of other self-photobooth studios. However, what sets them apart from the crowd is their use of the top-notch Korean filter to enhance your features — and boy did they really nail that filter (I have never looked more flawless than this). 

Pickpic has a total of five different rooms to choose from — Leaf Green, Peach Pink, Seoul Blue, Pure White, and Shine Yellow. You’ll get to choose from three different frame designs, as well as eight different coloured backgrounds. Each room also comes with its own specialised shots like bust shot (close-up shots), full body shot, and waist shot (half-body shots). 

My personal favourite was the Seoul Blue room (no surprises that blue is also my favourite colour), where you’ll get to take more half-body and waist shots. In the Pure White room, you’ll get to take full body shots and it comes with a handy wired shutter release for you to control when to take your shots. 

In the other rooms, you’ll only have eight seconds to plan your poses — so make sure to come prepared with poses in mind because the time goes by really quickly. You’ll also get to take a total of eight shots each time and you can pick the best shots to be printed. 

In true photobooth fashion, of course you’ve got to have some quirky props to go along with your poses, otherwise where’s the fun in that? Pickypic has a super extensive selection of cute (and wacky) headgear, headbands, and glasses for you to choose from. 

You can also choose to print your photos out in colour or go old-school and have the image printed out in black and white — both were equally cute. But of course, if you wanna really show off your smile and facial features, then you should definitely choose colour.  

With Christmas drawing close, Pickypic has transformed their Shine Yellow room into a festive Christmas photo spot, complete with three super Christmas-themed frames. It’s hard to pick my favourite Christmas frame because they were all so pretty! The room also has special props for you to pose with. 

Price-wise, each 4R print (four or six frames per print) is S$10 and two photostrips (three or four frames per print) also costs S$10. You can also have additional photo strips printed for S$10 each.

Once you’re done with taking all your pictures, make sure to stop by the black-and-white camera box and have your faces printed out on a Pickypic flyer for free.

The post Popular self-photobooth studio from Korea, Pickypic, has opened its first store along Haji Lane with five different rooms and photo types, over seven different frame styles & more appeared first on Confirm Good.

At this rate, Haji Lane should be renamed to Selfie Lane with the number of self-photo studios gathered on the street. We’ve got the trendy top-down 0.5 wide angle studios by PIC UP! and One Click Studio; a vintage photobooth, and now, a self-photo studio with six different themes for you to choose from!

Sessions at Pixie Loft are very affordable — it only costs S$10 for each person to use the studio for an hour, and it even includes a customisable photo strip for each person. You can even get it all for S$8 if you come with four others or more!

How does it all work then? First, take your pick of props from the shelves. There’ll be a fun assortment of toy guns, glasses, wigs and more to choose from. 

Then, choose a booth with your favourite theme. The six booths differ wildly in their themes, ranging from cute aesthetics to “edgy criminal” vibes.

Going for a chill, pastel summer vibe? Try out the first booth, which also happens to be the largest, with rainbows, fluffy clouds and neon lighting for you to pose against.

Become Alice at the Wonderland-inspired booth, featuring chessboard tiles, enchanting roses and a fantastical peek into the world of giant mushrooms through the keyhole behind you.

The fourth booth pulls you back into reality with its nightclub vibes. Show off your best moves on the floor framed by large disco balls and a reflective metallic background. Hot tip: set the ring light to flicker and you can recreate the strobe lights at a nightclub!

Right beside the nightclub booth is a “toilet” with exposed bricks and graffiti that you would find in a dangerous, ulu corner of Singapore. You can even leave your own mark on the graffiti wall (not in the unsanitary kind of way, please!)

A ring light and phone stands are provided at every booth for the best lighting and angle for your photos. Play around with the ring light for more colourful lighting and retake as many photos as you want within the designated time frame. 

At the end of your session, just select your favourite photos to print onto your photo strip, and you can keep the rest of the photos you have on your phones for free. If you would like to print out more photos, just add on S$2 for each strip.

Before you head down to Pixie Loft, we’ve got an exclusive 3+1 deal for you: Every three customers can bring another friend in for free! Just mention the exclusive code “ConfirmGood” to the staff at the counter to redeem this deal. This code will expire on 30 November 2023, so you have plenty of time to create some insta-worthy memories with your besties.

Lights, camera and…action! Ready to bring out your best pose for the cameras at Pixie Loft?

The post Snap as many fun photos as you can in an hour from S$8 at this thematic self-photo studio along Haji Lane appeared first on Confirm Good.

Remember when I predicted more self-photo studios in Singapore jumping on this trend?

The team behind Solace Studios, the popular self-photo studio in Haji Lane that frequently holds pop-ups around the island, has done just that!

Their latest concept, PIC UP!, also located along the same stretch, is a 0.5 wide angle self-photo studio that takes photos from that trendy top-down angle everyone is crazy about. Not only is it really flattering, but it somehow also makes you look cooler than you actually are.

There are three monochromatic booths to choose from — red, blue, and yellow — so go with whichever colour that best reflects the vibe (or mood) you’re feeling that day.

Each booth can fit more than two people (although two is still the most ideal) but it might be a bit of a tight squeeze. Regardless, you and your friends should have enough room to move around and be experimental with your poses.

Do note that there will be 15 second countdown, which starts immediately once you enter the booth after selecting your frames and making payment. You’ll get eight shots with a countdown of six seconds each, so don’t be caught off-guard!

Don’t hesitate to spice up your shots with Y2K-inspired props like sunglasses, cameras, and headphones that are all free-to-use, as long as you handle them with care.

Prices are pretty standard, at S$10 for two photo strips or one multi-frame piece, inclusive of free soft copies. Do note that at the time of writing, only cash payments are available.

Whether you’re looking to dress up in your best Barbiecore, baddie, or Y2K girlie fit (you do you!), you’re in for a fun photo session at PIC UP!

The post PIC UP! is a wide-angle self-photo studio by Solace Studios inspired by the viral DON’T LXXK UP in Hongdae appeared first on Confirm Good.

Located at Basement 1 of Jewel, the photo booths are part of the Disney 100 pop-up event. The booths sport three different themes — Marvel, Winnie the Pooh, and Mickey Mouse — and can fit up to 10 people, perfect for your whole squad to take a group picture. 

You can use the booth after exchanging for the special tokens at the nearby machine. Alternatively, you can pay via Visa, Mastercard, or Apple Pay directly inside the booth. Each session costs just S$4 and you’ll get two photo strips, essentially S$2 per strip — super value for money if you ask me! 

While the physical strips make for a great keepsake especially with the adorable Disney characters on them, you can also download the digital copies via the QR code generated at the booth. This is such a brilliant move especially since everyone is probably gonna want to post the pics on IG anyway. 

Photo booths are so much fun because you get to customise the pictures and put cute stickers on each strip. Thankfully, the same rules apply here. Each photo booth offers eight different designs for you to choose from. You’ll also get to play around with various beauty filters. 

To ensure that you get the perfect picture, the camera inside the booths can also be adjusted to your preferred height and angle — no more having to tip-toe or stand at awkward angles! That said, each strip only fits four pictures and you’ll get three takes each time and there’s a timer, so we suggest rehearsing your poses beforehand to avoid the chaos! 

At the end of the photoshoot, you’ll get to pick your best shots along with your preferred frame. Each booth offers a different mix of designs, so if you’re looking to collect them all (and have plenty of time to spare), you can go ahead and try all three booths. 

Unfortunately, these disney-themed photo booths aren’t a permanent fixture at Jewel and will only be available for a limited time. So, you better jio all your friends and head down to Changi now before they are all gone! While you’re there, you can check out the Disney 100 exhibition and pick up some cute Disney merch too.
