Generate A Tropical Self-Portrait At This Pop-Up Booth & Stand To Win Travel Vouchers

By Zoe Zeng on 02 Mar 2024

Before selfies, wefies, photo booths with cute built-in filters, or 0.5 top-down self-service studios became commonplace, taking a picture wasn't quite as convenient. No, we're not talking about the days of 90s digicams or even those trendy manual film cameras, but rather the self-portraits made by renowned painters like Frida Kahlo, Paul Gauguin, and Diego Rivera!

Well, now you can get your very own self-portrait generated in an oil painting style at this pop-up booth by The National Gallery. The best part? These AI-generated images are complimentary, and you can take as many as you want before saving the best of the bunch!

Simply head down to Level 1 of Raffles City shopping centre to check out this pop-up (located outside Bacha Coffee). You can't miss it — the booth is surrounded by plenty of decorative tropical plants and it sports the exhibition title, Tropical: Stories from Southeast Asia and Latin America.

Step inside and you'll find a large touchscreen where you can start the shoot. We recommend getting photo-ready before starting the countdown, since the 3-second countdown goes really fast. Those who are on the shorter side might have to do a hover-sit to position themselves better!

After the image is taken, it will be converted into an oil painting style. You can review the image before deciding if you want to save a copy or start again. Once you claim your image, you'll also receive a promo code to visit the National Gallery Singapore.
