Whether you need a bare cyclorama space to hire by the hour or a studio to shoot polished portraits and personal-branding images, the photography studios in Singapore below span both. This guide gathers ten established studio-rental spaces and professional portrait studios, from corporate headshots to family sittings. Each was checked against its own website; treat it as a shortlist to compare, not a strict ranking.

1. White Room Studio

White Room Studio is a natural-light portrait studio set in a restored River Valley shophouse, and by its own account has photographed from the same address since 2009. Alongside family and children's sessions it takes on personal branding and corporate headshots, and describes its job as putting at ease people who feel they are not photogenic. Its two-floor space offers both a bright white room and a warmer, timber-lined setting within a single visit.

2. Mount Studio

Mount Studio is a Marymount studio that both hires out its cyclorama shooting space and runs its own shoots, framing its corporate work as turning a company's story into branding visuals. The same team covers headshots, environmental and group portraits as well as event and commercial photography. It suits businesses that want a space to rent and a photographer on hand under one roof.

3. Oh Dear Studio

Oh Dear Studio occupies a heritage colonial shophouse in Kampong Bahru and describes itself as a natural-light studio aiming for images that are bright, warm and timeless. Its all-female team shoots family and couple portraits alongside personal-branding sessions and corporate headshots, working in what it calls a private, intimate setting. The daylight-filled space fits anyone wanting portraits that feel relaxed rather than staged.

4. Calibre Productions and Rental

Calibre Productions and Rental is a Henderson studio built around a space it describes as 1,300 square feet with a 20-foot-wide white cyclorama, offered for hire to photographers, filmmakers and creators. It pairs the room with professional lighting and medium-format camera rental, positioning itself as a one-stop service for photo and video productions. The scale suits large group portraits, fashion and commercial shoots that need a floor-level infinity wall.

5. Terra Headshots

Terra Headshots is a Yishun studio specialising in corporate and executive headshots and personal-branding portraits, run by a branding photographer and makeup artist who sum up their focus as quality, authenticity and presence. It frames each booking as a guided experience rather than a production line, with styling and direction built into the session. The narrow focus makes it a straightforward pick for professionals who mainly need a strong headshot.

6. H2 Studio

H2 Studio is a photo-and-video rental space in Midview City near Sin Ming, describing itself as a versatile 1,200-square-foot studio for photography, videography and workshops. The room comes with professional lighting and a range of backdrop colours, and the studio says it has offered such spaces since 2016. It is pitched at shoots and small workshops that need an equipped room to hire by the hour.

7. JONTY Photography

JONTY Photography is a Tai Seng studio that calls itself a professional headshot specialist, covering personal branding, corporate headshots and profile portraits both in-studio and on location. It says it treats each session as a bespoke project and tailors its editing to the individual, with the stated aim of bringing out the real you. The specialist focus fits people after polished LinkedIn or company-profile images.

8. MacPherson Photo Studio

MacPherson Photo Studio is a rental space a short walk from MacPherson MRT, centred on a two-wall white cyclorama it describes as suiting fashion, product, group and commercial shoots. Professional strobe lighting is included, and the layout is set up for larger groups as well as solo portraits. It is a practical hire-by-the-hour option for shoots that need a clean infinity-wall backdrop.

9. Tomato Photo Studio

Tomato Photo Studio is an Ubi portrait studio led by photographer Hart Tan, who by the studio's account personally shoots every session. Best known for simple, natural family and multi-generation portraits, it also offers personal-branding portraits and headshots, and promises to handle the direction so clients can relax. Step-free, lift-served access makes it easy for older relatives and young children alike.

10. ShootYou

ShootYou is an Ubi studio focused on corporate headshots and team photography for individuals and companies, and says it has been shooting for businesses since 2017. Beyond headshots it offers family and pet portraits, event coverage and on-site sessions at clients' offices. Its business-portrait focus makes it a fit for companies refreshing a whole team's profile photos.

How to choose

  • Match the studio to the job before anything else. A bare cyclorama space rented by the hour gives you a clean backdrop and equipment but expects you to bring your own photographer, while a full-service portrait or headshot studio supplies the shooter, direction and editing. Deciding which you actually need narrows the list quickly.
  • Check exactly what a booking includes. For rentals, confirm the hourly rate structure, minimum hours, whether lighting, backdrops and modifiers are provided, and who operates the gear; for portrait studios, ask how long the session runs, how many outfit or backdrop changes are allowed, and whether hair and makeup are available. Getting this in writing avoids surprises on the day.
  • Look at a full, recent portfolio in the exact style you want. Headshots, personal branding, family and commercial work are different skills, so ask to see complete recent sets in your category rather than a highlights reel, and check that skin tones, lighting and backgrounds match the look you are after.
  • Sort out the practicalities. Confirm location, parking or MRT access, lift and step-free access if you are bringing young children or older relatives, the changing or makeup area, and how many people the space comfortably holds if you are booking a group or team shoot.
  • Agree deliverables and terms before paying. Clarify how many edited images you receive, the turnaround time, the level of retouching included, image usage rights, and the studio's rescheduling and cancellation policy, then confirm how and when the final files are delivered.
