FAQ

Do you allow walk-ins?

Yes, walk-ins are welcome, but we would not be able to guarantee studio availability.

Do I need to bring a camera?

No - the camera is built-in and the studio is fully ready-to-shoot. You can even adjust the camera height to get your best angle.

How many people can fit in the studio?

We do not limit the size of groups for booking. For large groups, some may wait outside if they cannot fit in the studio. In the photoshoot area itself, about 6-7 pax maximum can squeeze in, but 2-3 would be more comfortable - please see our Instagram for reference. Groups may shoot together or separately, however you prefer.

How do I get my photos?

We'll email you a password-protected Dropbox link with all your image files (soft copies). We do not offer prints/hard copies at this time.

Can I have prints/hard copies?

We do not offer hard copies at this time, but we'll add this service if there are enough requests - let us know!

What is the Free Trial?

Walk in anytime for a Free Trial, if the studio is not already booked. We'll show you how the studio works, and you can try different lighting/backgrounds and take a few test shots if you like (but we won't send soft copies).

Do you provide props?

Please inquire, as we may stock some. Either way, you're welcome to bring your own props, costumes, accessories, even music instruments. You may use the attached changing area as needed.

Can we pause the timer for changing outfits?

We cannot pause the timer once started, but can allow a few minutes before your session to quickly change outfits (if you arrive on time). To maximize your studio time, you may want to bring others to your booking so that some may continue shooting while others are changing, and so on.

Can I take full body shots?

Full body shots are not yet possible. Our studio is best for headshots up to 3/4-length shots. Anyone over 6'2" or under 4'2" may use our stool to stay in-frame of the camera. For 2+ person shots with large height differences, you may use the stool for the best framing.

Do you do hair and makeup?

Not at the moment, but you may bring an HMU artist with you if you like. You're also welcome to use the power outlet and mirror in the private studio entrance space.
