8 Best Graduation Photoshoot Studios in Singapore (August 2026)

The first thing to sort out is the gown. Some studios keep complimentary official gowns for the major universities, NUS, NTU, SMU, SIT, SIM, SUTD, SUSS and international schools, while others provide a generic default gown and mortarboard. If you want to appear in your university's exact gown, confirm the studio has it in your size, or arrange the official gown rental separately and bring it. This one detail catches a lot of graduates out.

Then the package and the look. Check the image count (some offer unlimited shots, others a set number of edited images), the turnaround, and whether backdrops and poses suit the classic convocation style you want. Consider whether you want family in some frames (usually an add-on per person), and whether the studio can do a group shoot with coursemates, which is often cheaper and more fun per person.

On cost, studio graduation packages start from around S$390 to S$420, often with edited images and gown included, and rise with more images, family members or prints. Group bookings lower the per-person cost. As always, confirm exactly what is included, gown, image count, family, prints, so you can compare fairly.

Some do, some do not, so always check. Studios like White Room provide complimentary official gowns for the major local universities, and Serangoon Broadway is the official NUS and NTU academic-dress vendor. Others provide a generic default gown and mortarboard, which looks the part but is not your university's exact gown. If the correct gown matters to you, confirm the studio has it in your size or rent the official one and bring it.

Studio graduation packages start from around S$390 to S$420, typically including edited images and a gown, and rise with more images, additional family members or prints. Group shoots with coursemates lower the per-person cost. Some studios offer unlimited shots, others a set number of edited photos, so compare on the image count as well as the headline price, and confirm whether the gown and family are included.

Usually, yes, and it is a lovely addition. Most studios let family members join for part of the session, often for a small fee per person, so you get proud photos with parents, grandparents and siblings alongside your solo portraits. Mention it when booking so the studio allows time, and if several coursemates want to shoot together, ask about a group package, which is often better value.

As soon as your convocation date is confirmed. Graduation season is a genuine rush, and the best studios and the correct official gowns get fully booked, so early booking secures both your preferred slot and your gown in the right size. Many graduates shoot before the ceremony so the portraits are ready, which also avoids the post-ceremony crowds. Give yourself a buffer around exam and results timing.

The studios that stay fully booked through convocation season do it on a website that shows their portfolio off and makes booking easy. That is the part I work on. I design and build websites for photographers and studios across Singapore that turn a Google search into a booking, like the result in my Arcade Rental case study.
