3. Fotomat
Fotomat specialises in monochrome shots. Because let’s be real: black and white pics never go out of style. If you’re into monochrome aesthetics (and can never quite get over your awkwardness in front of photographers), this is the place for you. Enjoy 15 minutes of unlimited photo-taking, bring home two printed photos from the session on the same day as part of the $30 package, and show ’em off! Oh, and the studio’s so popular it even has a second outlet.

Photobytes leaves the shutter in your hands. But fret not, with professional photography equipment all set up, you can make memories without having to worry about the quality of your pictures. Find the background colour of your choice and get busy with merrymaking throughout the 30-minute session ($35) of capturing and picking the perfect snaps. Themes on the menu include RGB colour, film white, dark mood and profile!

This 24-hour spot is the first immersive selfie photo studio in Singapore. Offering larger than life set-ups, the studio takes up two levels.
