In the abyss of perfectly curated photos, what does it really take to have that one perfect selfie? Well, a clean background, great lighting, and the confidence to flaunt your best angles might be a pretty good start. Since it’s not everyday that you have such things at your disposal, these places are here to help you get the prized snap you’re hoping for. Introducing: Self-Portrait Studios.
As the name suggests, your next bomb ‘gram post is just one click away! With a remote and a monitor to check yourself out, you now have the liberty to bring out the wackiest poses you can think of. Think professional-looking shots, but laced with the novelty and comfort of arcade photobooths.
Slots may take around 15 to 30 minutes, and it’s a private session that only you and your friends can witness. Or your dog, for that matter—you just have to inform the studio beforehand. So if you’re the type of person to get shy and throw peace signs to battle the awkwardness, now is the time to let loose. After all, stepping up your IG game has never been this easier.
Here are four self-portrait studios you can book for your barkada’s next stopover.
1. Atomm Studios (@atomm.studios)
As one of the first self-portrait studios, Atomm Studios immediately made rounds on TikTok, enticing birthday celebrants, couples, and friend groups alike. With their familiar earthy backgrounds, cute prints to take home, and interiors straight out of a dream, there’s no question why this QC-based studio is always booked and busy!
They offer packages good for two people starting at P650. However, you can still make it a party of seven with additional fees. Make sure to secure a slot ASAP here, and check out their socials for updates!
Located at 2nd floor Robinsons Easymart Filinvest, Batasan-San Mateo Road, Batasan Hills, Quezon City
2. Backroom Studios (@backroom.studios)
Your next favorite spot is accessible in two locations, with Backroom Studios’ Makati and BF Homes branches alive and kicking! For P500, you can have an exclusive photo session for 15 minutes, and another 15 for picking the printouts. You can also get ahold of the remaining raw shots for an extra fee. Pro tip: strategically book your slot on Tuesdays and Wednesdays if you prefer a black backdrop.
If any of their branches is a long ride away from you, fret not because Backroom’s parading around the metro with their pop-up studios! Their recent road trip included Robinson’s Galleria, Magnolia, and a cafe in Malate, so keep your eyes peeled for their next visits on their site.
