But nowadays, you might recall something different. Photo booths are undergoing a modern day resurgence thanks to K-pop idols. In fact, you might have seen at least one Instagram post from a K-pop idol taken in a photobooth floating on your feed at some point recently.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For many, a photo strip is becoming an affordable and convenient way to immortalise a fun day out with friends or with your partner. Photo booths have slowly but surely been sprouting up once again around Singapore, and I\u2019ve taken it upon myself (and my wallet) to review some of them.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are the photo booths I\u2019m reviewing below:<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ll be reviewing the photo booths based on these criteria:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Life4Cut is located in the bustling Holland Village, at B1 of Holland Piazza. After walking past Chimichanga, take the escalator down and you\u2019ll be able to see it immediately. It\u2019s also open 24\/7 and is pet-friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0After entering, you will be greeted with a table filled with headgear, from simple headbands to elaborate cartoon hats. The unit has two identical rooms each containing a photo taking machine.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/hypesingapore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Life4Cut-2-Common-Area.jpg” title_text=”Life4Cut 2 Common Area” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ text_font=”Montreal Medium||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ transform_scale_tablet=”” transform_scale_phone=”” transform_scale_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate=”0px|-22px” transform_translate_tablet=”” transform_translate_phone=”” transform_translate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate_linked=”off” transform_rotate_tablet=”” transform_rotate_phone=”” transform_rotate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_skew_tablet=”” transform_skew_phone=”” transform_skew_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_origin_tablet=”” transform_origin_phone=”” transform_origin_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_styles_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_margin=”31px|||||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” transform_styles_tablet=”” transform_styles_phone=”” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The common area is spacious and well-lit, with ample room to get ready and beautify yourself using the two mirrors.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”fc11c624-29d0-4bb0-90fa-a99635dac95a” text_text_color=”#000000″ custom_margin=”-35px||-1px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” text_font=”Montreal Medium||||||||” text_line_height=”1.7em”]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Photo taking process:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/hypesingapore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Life4Cut-1-Photowall.jpg” alt=”Keshi-vinyl-release-debut-album-gabriel” title_text=”Life4Cut 1 Photowall” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ text_font=”Montreal Medium||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ transform_scale_tablet=”” transform_scale_phone=”” transform_scale_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate=”0px|-22px” transform_translate_tablet=”” transform_translate_phone=”” transform_translate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate_linked=”off” transform_rotate_tablet=”” transform_rotate_phone=”” transform_rotate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_skew_tablet=”” transform_skew_phone=”” transform_skew_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_origin_tablet=”” transform_origin_phone=”” transform_origin_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_styles_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_margin=”31px|||||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” transform_styles_tablet=”” transform_styles_phone=”” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n All the photo strip options are on display at Life4Cut Holland Village.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_sidebar _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_sidebar][et_pb_sidebar _builder_version=”4.17.4″ background_image=”https:\/\/hypesingapore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/anxiety-girl.png” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_sidebar][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”fc11c624-29d0-4bb0-90fa-a99635dac95a” text_text_color=”#000000″ custom_margin=”-20px||-1px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” text_font=”Montreal Medium||||||||” text_line_height=”1.7em” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n 2. Select how many strips you would like. You\u2019re getting at least two, but if you have a bigger group, you can select in multiples of two from two to ten copies. Remember: extra strips cost extra! My group of four paid $20 for four strips.<\/span><\/p>\n 3. Here, select the pattern of your frame. There are eight choices from solid colours to patterns.<\/p>\n 4. Proceeding to payment: there are cash and cashless payments available, like PayNow and GrabPay. Huge points for convenience.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>5. Once payment is processed, the photo taking starts. One photo is taken every 10 seconds, so if you and your companions want to wear different headgear in every frame, do prepare everything beforehand.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>6. Smile! The photos are taken in a minute, and now it\u2019s time to select a filter.\u00a0 You can pick from six filters. Here, you can opt to retake your photos, but only once.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 7. <\/span>Wait for your photos to be printed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Final ratings:<\/span><\/p>\n I also dropped by their Bugis Junction outlet which has four photo booth rooms, and multiple racks of headwear and eyewear. There are also<\/span> hanboks<\/span><\/i>, or\u00a0 traditional ethnic Korean clothing, available for use. And Life4cut Bugis Junction has one more small but special touch: free plastic sleeves for you to keep your photostrips safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Life4Cut has three outlets islandwide, with the third one at Suntec Tower 4. Find them on Instagram at <\/span>@life4cut_sg<\/a> and <\/span>@life4cuthv.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Traversing the Orchard-Somerset stretch of malls might be a confusing venture for most. Located on the second floor of Orchard Gateway<\/span>, Beads of Bullets<\/span> x Things I Luv is easy to spot. The energetic Kpop music playing over the speakers in the shop provides a warm welcome. Kpop fans, you can also shop for albums and photo cards while you\u2019re here!<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s only one photo booth, so be prepared to wait if there\u2019s a queue. Personally, I did feel pressured to be quick as there were people behind me. The set up is simple, with a photo booth and a waiting area to queue and choose your props.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/hypesingapore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1_HoK_Booth.jpg” alt=”Keshi-vinyl-release-debut-album-gabriel” title_text=”1_HoK_Booth” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ custom_padding=”||62px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ text_font=”Montreal Medium||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ transform_scale_tablet=”” transform_scale_phone=”” transform_scale_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate=”0px|-22px” transform_translate_tablet=”” transform_translate_phone=”” transform_translate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate_linked=”off” transform_rotate_tablet=”” transform_rotate_phone=”” transform_rotate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_skew_tablet=”” transform_skew_phone=”” transform_skew_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_origin_tablet=”” transform_origin_phone=”” transform_origin_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_styles_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_margin=”-56px|||||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” transform_styles_tablet=”” transform_styles_phone=”” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n There are instructions on the right side booth so you can read about the photo-taking process.

Insert your $10 note. The photo booth only accepts cash with no change, so ensure you have the exact amount.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a03. Select your filter from six options. All the filters were quite subtle and akin to the camera filters on our phones.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a04. After selecting your filter, the photo taking begins! You can take up to seven photos. After you\u2019re done, pick the best ones to go on your photo strip. I like having the option to choose, instead of having to go with the first four frames I took.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a05. Finally, pick your frame style. You can bounce around the six options to see which pattern you like. If you need extra copies, here\u2019s where you\u2019ll indicate that. A 4R-size 4-cut cost me $10. After you\u2019re satisfied, press the \u201cPrint\u201d button!<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a06. While waiting for your photo(s) to print, the screen shows a QR code that you can scan to download the digital copy of your photo strip.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Final ratings:<\/span><\/p>\n Though the photo booth here is housed within a Kpop store and not a standalone unit like the other photo booths, it still offers quality photos with a commendable range of choice when it comes to frame designs and cut options. You can follow Beads of Bullets<\/a> and <\/span>Things I Luv<\/a> on Instagram<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re on Singapore Tiktok, then this place may ring a bell. Recently launched, Solace Studios has already gained an impressive following. Located at the bustling Haji Lane, the studio is easy to find as long as you\u2019re on the right lane.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0The minimalist Solace Studios houses three identical rooms for photo booths. A quirk about this place is that it has hair-styling tools: a hair dryer and hair straightener for anyone to use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Solace Studios is also pet-friendly. There\u2019s a container of props for your furry friends!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/hypesingapore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Solace-1-Common-Area.jpg” title_text=”Solace 1 Common Area” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ text_font=”Montreal Medium||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ transform_scale_tablet=”” transform_scale_phone=”” transform_scale_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate=”0px|-22px” transform_translate_tablet=”” transform_translate_phone=”” transform_translate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate_linked=”off” transform_rotate_tablet=”” transform_rotate_phone=”” transform_rotate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_skew_tablet=”” transform_skew_phone=”” transform_skew_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_origin_tablet=”” transform_origin_phone=”” transform_origin_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_styles_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_margin=”31px|||||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” transform_styles_tablet=”” transform_styles_phone=”” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The common area of Solace Studios has a shelf filled with neatly arranged props as well as a mirror.

Select your payment method. You can pay with cash or contactless payment. I initially went with contactless payment, but the payment screen was confusing so I used cash.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a03. After the machine processes your payment, the 10-second countdown begins. Here\u2019s where Solace Studio\u2019s photo booths stand out: after each photo, you get to pick whether to keep the shot or retake it once more., I chose to retake my first shot because the camera only captured me from my neck up. For the rest of the photos, I stood on the stool provided in the room so my shoulders would be included in the frame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a04. After you\u2019re done with the photo-taking, you can proceed to choose your frame colour. All six options are in solid colour. Then hit \u201cPrint\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a05. While waiting for your photos to print, you are presented with QR codes for the digital and\u00a0 GIF version of your photos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Final ratings:<\/span><\/p>\n You can find Solace Studios on <\/span>Instagram<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Tiktok<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Final verdict:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Each photo booth I went to had its unique charm. Beads of Bullets stood out with its convenience. Out of the places reviewed, this photo booth was the easiest to get to. I\u2019m also a fan of their system where I can take seven shots and pick out which ones I want on my strip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0In terms of picture quality, the strips from Solace Studios and Life4Cut are close competitors, but the Life4Cut strips ultimately come up on top. Even though the individual pictures are small, they are still printed in vibrant colours and high resolution. The strip comes with a glossy finish too.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0For value, Life4Cut is the clear winner. There are many types of payment methods available, which guarantees that you and your photo-taking buddies are able to foot the bill. The payment process is also the most seamless out of the three photo booths. The price tag of $10 for 2 4-cut strips is standard for all three locations.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0For variety, Solace Studios is the most impressive. The hairstyling tools are a pleasant bonus. I was impressed with the wide variety of props available for both humans and pets. It was heartwarming to see that Pride flags were available as props, as the studio touts itself as an inclusive space on their Instagram.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Though there are only a handful of photo booths in Singapore at the time of writing, I\u2019m confident more will sprout across Singapore soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0In this age of mobile phones and digital pictures, it\u2019s easy to forget how much significance a physical photo can hold. With photo booths, you can now own a tangible trinket that you can place anywhere, and stir up fond memories whenever you look at it.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0When you go out with loved ones next time, consider dropping by a photo booth for an everlasting souvenir.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_sidebar _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Want an affordable and fun way to capture a fun day out with loved ones?
