It's a great date and hangout activity for introverts especially, as there won't be a photographer on set - just you and bae, or friends! If you haven't had the chance to try it out, it's perhaps time to jump on the bandwagon and visit one of these seven self photo studios in Singapore soon.

Read on to find out more!

#1 Photobytes

While most self photo studios typically provide a white backdrop, Photobytes takes the experience up a notch with a selection of backdrops and themes to choose from!

Prefer a coloured backdrop? Book RGB Color, where you will get to choose between red, green or blue - just like its name suggests. It's worthy to note that even the coloured backdrops come in muted shades, so there's no need to worry that you will stick out like a sore thumb against it.
