Two printed photo strips still cost $10 at almost every walk-in booth in Singapore, which is why the thing worth checking before you go is not the price but the outlet list. We re-read all six studios' own sites on 4 September 2026, and two numbers had moved since August. Life4Cut has opened three more booths, taking it from 9 Singapore locations to 12: SIT Punggol Campus, Dunearn Village and ICON@LINK now sit alongside Marina Square and VivoCity. Standard Photo Studio's Paws and Play pet studio tops out at $165, not the $115 most roundups still print, because a separate Pet Flex tier runs $115 to $165 above the $55 to $125 Pawfect Vibes tier. Dollop Print Club still publishes 21 Singapore booths plus one in Johor Bahru, with Bras Basah Complex no longer among them. Standard Photo Studio has pulled its Flash & Dash packages off its shop entirely, so the only place the $10 starting price is still written down is its FAQ page, and the same FAQ quotes its private studios "from $35" when the live booking pages start at $40. Solace Studios still claims 20 outlets, but its own store locator now lists just four storefronts (Haji Lane, Jewel, JEM and VivoCity) plus five pop-ups, so treat the locator as a partial list rather than the whole chain. Prices themselves barely budged: $10 gets you two strips at Solace, Life4Cut, Dollop and Hana Film with free digital copies, Fotomat's private studio is unchanged at $30 for two people, and Standard's Snap & Beads studios run $40 to $85 depending on group size. The bigger gap is opening hours, which vary far more than the prices do: Solace at Cineleisure and Dollop at Clarke Quay and Changi T3 are open 24 hours, while Standard Photo Studio closes at 6pm on most days and does not open on public holidays at all.
Two printed photo strips still cost $10 at almost every walk-in booth in Singapore, so what actually separates these six is where they are and when they close.
> Quick view: $10 for two strips at Solace, Life4Cut, Dollop and Hana Film, digital copies included; private self-shoot studios start at $30 (Fotomat) and $40 (Standard). Watch the hours, not the price: Solace at Cineleisure and Dollop at Clarke Quay run 24 hours, while Standard Photo Studio shuts at 6pm most days and closes on public holidays.
What changed since our last check
We re-read all six studios' own sites on 4 September 2026. Prices barely moved. Outlet lists did.
- Dollop Print Club now publishes an address-level list of 21 booths in Singapore plus one at KOMTAR JBCC in Johor Bahru. Bras Basah Complex, which older roundups still carry, is no longer on it. Suntec City, Pasir Ris Mall, Seletar Mall, Waterway Point, Eastpoint, Northpoint, Chinatown Point and Bukit Panjang Plaza are.
- Standard Photo Studio has emptied its Flash and Dash collection page, so no price shows on the product listing at all. The only place the $10 starting price is still written down is its FAQ page. That same FAQ says its studios run "from $35 to $55", but the live booking pages start at $40, so read the booking page, not the FAQ.
- Solace Studios still says 20 outlets on its About page, while its store locator lists four storefronts (73 Haji Lane, Jewel #04-239, JEM #04-53, VivoCity #02-37) and its pop-up page five more. Causeway Point (#03-26A, 11am to 10pm) and The Cathay both still exist, and Solace's own price page names The Cathay as the only outlet doing the A3 newspaper cut. Treat the locator as a partial list.
- Hana Film has expanded into Malaysia, with a George Town flagship on Beach Street, a second Penang shop on Armenian Street and a Lot 10 outlet in Kuala Lumpur. Its two Singapore outlets and its $10 price are unchanged.
- Life4Cut has opened three more booths since our August check, taking it from 9 Singapore locations to 12. The seven stores are the same; the standalone booths are now Marina Square, VivoCity, SIT Punggol Campus, Dunearn Village (896 Dunearn Road) and ICON@LINK (8 Club Street). Life4Cut still prints one blanket 10.30am to 10pm line for all twelve, but a campus, a neighbourhood corner and an office building keep their own access hours.
- Standard Photo Studio's pet studio is dearer than the number most roundups carry. Paws and Play tops out at $165, not $115: Pawfect Vibes runs $55 to $125 by group size and print count, and a separate Pet Flex tier runs $115 to $165. Its Flash and Dash collection page is still empty of products, so the $10 walk-in price remains FAQ-only.
- Fotomat is unchanged on every figure we could check: $30 for two, $10 per extra person or pet, $5 a print, $30 for the files, 11am to 9pm daily and open on public holidays.
What a session actually costs, format by format
Booth pricing is refreshingly flat. Nearly every walk-in brand charges $10 for two photo strips, digital copies included. What changes the bill is the format you pick. Using Solace Studios' published price list as the benchmark:
| Format | Size | Price |
|---|
| Photo strips | 2" x 6" | $10 for 2 strips |
| Multi-frame | 4" x 6" | $12 for 2 pieces |
| Newspaper cut | A3 | $12 for 2 pieces |
| Flipbook | 21.1cm x 5.2cm | $15 each |
| Mega Strip | 6" x 20" | $20 each |
| Concept booths (Solace Airlines / Station / elevator) | 6" x 4" | $12 for 1 piece, +$2 per extra |
Mega Strip and flipbook are at selected outlets only, and the newspaper cut is exclusive to The Cathay. Note that the concept booths are a separate price list: a themed room costs $12 for one piece, not $10 for two, which is the single most common mistake people make budgeting for a Solace Station or Solace Airlines session.
The private studios sit a tier above:
| Studio | Package | Price |
|---|
| Fotomat | 15 min, 2 pax, 2 prints (B&W or colour) | $30 |
| Fotomat | Extra person or pet (comes with 1 photo) | +$10 |
| Fotomat | All original files by email | +$30 |
| Standard | Snap and Beads, Vibe Starter, 1-2 pax | $40 |
| Standard | Snap and Beads, Vibe Starter, 3 / 4 / 5 pax | $50 / $60 / $70 |
| Standard | Snap and Beads, Flex Mode, any size | $85 |
| Standard | Paws and Play pet shoot (Pawfect Vibes / Pet Flex) | $55 to $125 / $115 to $165 |
| Standard | Corporate headshot, with a photographer | $50 |
So what should you budget? About $10 a session for a mall booth, genuinely one of the cheapest things you can do in town, or $30 to $85 if you want a private room and a portrait you would actually frame.
How to pick the right one for you
- First time, or want the most print formats? Solace Studios, the only one doing a flipbook, a Mega Strip and an A3 newspaper cut, with a props wall and themed concept rooms.
- K-pop fan, or love dressing up? Life4Cut, where free costumes including a hanbok and rotating idol-collab frames are the whole point.
- Want a booth near home rather than in town? Dollop Print Club, with 21 Singapore booths, most of them in heartland malls, and a digital GIF with every shoot.
- Want a polished, minimalist portrait? Fotomat Studios, a private no-photographer studio for editorial black-and-white shots, and the only one here open on public holidays.
- Bigger group, or want a themed room? Hana Film, whose Orchard Central hotel rooms fit about ten people, with a styling station to prep and $10 ID photos.
- Want something different, or a real headshot? Standard Photo Studio, with ball-pit, hawker-centre, backdrop and Aura Light concept rooms, pet shoots, and the one corporate session on this page with an actual photographer.
Where to find a self-photo booth near you, by area
- Orchard / Somerset Life4Cut at 313@Somerset (#B2-13/14), Plaza Singapura (#04-40A) and GR.iD (#02-06); Hana Film at Orchard Central (181 Orchard Rd, #02-20, daily 11am to 12am); Solace's train-themed Solace Station at Orchard Gateway (#02-03); Dollop at *SCAPE (#01-23). *Two mix-ups worth clearing up: if you have searched for "Hana Film Orchard Gateway", Hana Film is at Orchard Central, and the Orchard Gateway studio is Solace Station. And there is no Hana Film at Somerset: the booth at 313@Somerset is Life4Cut, while the nearest Hana Film is a five-minute walk up Orchard Road at Orchard Central.*
- City Hall / Marina / Bugis Hana Film at CityLink Mall (1 Raffles Link, #B1-51, daily 10am to 11pm); Life4Cut at Suntec City (#02-723), Bugis Junction (#03-12B) and a Marina Square booth (6 Raffles Blvd, Level 2); Dollop at Suntec City (Basement 1, near Playmade) and Bugis+ (Level 3).

- Clarke Quay / Chinatown Dollop at Clarke Quay (The Riverfront, Lobby D, Level 1), open 24 hours, and at Chinatown Point (Level 2).
- Tanjong Pagar Fotomat Studios, 45A Craig Road (2nd floor), for the minimalist private-studio look.

Which ones are open late, and which close surprisingly early
Opening hours are the detail most people only check after they have already made the trip, and they vary far more than the prices do. The verified hours right now:
| Studio / booth | Hours |
|---|
| Solace, Cineleisure pop-up | 24 hours, daily |
| Dollop, Clarke Quay & Changi Airport T3 | 24 hours, daily |
| Solace, VivoCity | 10am to 3am |
| Hana Film, Orchard Central | 11am to 12am |
| Hana Film, CityLink Mall | 10am to 11pm |
| Solace, Causeway Point | 11am to 10pm |
| Solace, Jewel, JEM, Haji Lane & pop-ups | 10am to 10pm |
| Dollop, most mall booths | 10am to 10pm |
| Life4Cut, all outlets | 10.30am to 10pm |
| Fotomat, Craig Road | 11am to 9pm, open on public holidays |
| Standard Photo Studio | Mon-Thu & Sun 10am-6pm; Fri-Sat 12pm-8pm; closed public holidays |
So for a spontaneous late-night session after dinner or a movie, Solace at Cineleisure or VivoCity and Dollop at Clarke Quay or Changi T3 are the ones still running. At the other end, Standard Photo Studio closes at 6pm on Mondays to Thursdays and Sundays, takes its last booking at 5.15pm, and shuts on public holidays, making it the single easiest wasted trip on this list.
Before you go
- Walk-in vs book. Mall booths (Solace, Life4Cut, Dollop, Hana Film) are walk-in, so go off-peak to skip queues. Standard's Flash and Dash is walk-in only, but its B&W, colour, pet and corporate studios are online-booking only; Fotomat is online-booking and PayNow only.
- Read the concept-booth price separately. Solace's themed rooms are $12 for one piece plus $2 per extra print, not the $10 for two you see advertised for the standard booths.
- Check the current frame and price. Idol-collab frames and package prices rotate, so check the studio's Instagram before you head down.
- Ask about digital copies. Booths include them free (Life4Cut adds a motion clip, Dollop a GIF); at private studios they can be a paid add-on, and Fotomat charges $30 for the full set.
- Ask about a student discount. Fotomat gives students and active military personnel 10% off on showing a pass at the counter, and booth brands run rotating promos on their Instagram.
- Check the public holiday. Fotomat stays open on them; Standard Photo Studio does not open at all.
