What is a self photo studio in Singapore?

(Credit: fotoautomat.sg)

Gone were the days when photo studios were reserved for professional shoots. Self photo studios provide a safe space (read: no one else will be there to judge your awkward poses) for you and bae to experience what it feels like to be a supermodel. This shutterbug trend started in South Korea where professional selfies (taking photos by yourself but with professional photography equipment like DSLR) have become all the rage. The good news is that you don’t have to invest in any of this expensive photography equipment – most self photo studios already come with it. So all you have to do is to bring your widest smiles, fanciest outfits and push the button on the shutter clicker to get the shoot going!
