A graduation photoshoot marks years of hard work, and unlike the ceremony itself, it gives you calm, well-lit portraits you actually want to frame, in the gown, cap in hand, proud smile and all. The catch is that the details matter: the right official gown, a studio that knows the convocation look, and a package that includes enough images. If you want the best graduation photoshoot Singapore graduates book in 2026, this is my shortlist.
Graduation studios differ mainly in whether they provide your university's official gown, their package pricing and image count, and whether family can join. I weighed each on gown provision, experience with graduation portraits, value and turnaround. The eight below are the ones I would trust to capture the milestone properly.
This is one of my Terris Recommends photography guides. For the wider picture see my best photography studios in Singapore guide, and to mark other milestones see my family photography guide.
Key Takeaways
- 1 The big question is gowns: some studios provide complimentary official gowns for NUS, NTU, SMU and other unis, others give default gowns, so check yours is covered.
- 2 For the definitive graduation studio White Room is my top pick. Firefly and ABC are strong value packages, and Serangoon Broadway is the official NUS and NTU gown vendor.
- 3 Studio packages start from around S$390 to S$420, often with unlimited images or a set number, and family members can usually join for a fee.
- 4 Book early: convocation season is a rush, and the best studios and the correct official gowns get fully booked, so reserve as soon as your ceremony date is set.
- 5 This is part of my Terris Recommends photography series. Many of these studios also do family portraits, so bring the family for a few frames.
What to look for in a graduation photoshoot
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.

1. White Room Studio
White Room Studio is my top pick and Singapore's leading graduation studio. Capturing graduation portraits since 2009 from its 1927 Peranakan shophouse on River Valley Road, it offers complimentary gowns for NUS, NTU, SMU, SIT, SIM, SUTD, SUSS and international universities, with a Graduation Studio Package from S$390 for up to four people.
That combination of the correct official gowns, a beautiful heritage space and years of graduation experience makes it the definitive choice. A strong first pick.

2. Firefly Photography
Firefly Photography is my pick for value with lots of photos. Their graduation studio packages start from S$420 with unlimited images and a four-week turnaround guarantee, so you are not rationed to a handful of edits. They provide default-sized graduation gowns and mortarboards, including options for children, though not every official gown.
For a graduate who wants plenty of images at a clear price, and does not need their exact university gown, the value is strong. A good choice for image-rich packages.

4. Serangoon Broadway
Serangoon Broadway is the pick when the correct official gown is non-negotiable, because they are the official academic-dress rental vendor for NUS and NTU. Their 10,000 square foot space includes four photography studios, the largest holding up to 60 people, so they can handle individual portraits and large cohort shoots, with the genuine gowns on site.
For guaranteed-correct gowns and the space for a big group shoot, they are uniquely positioned. A strong choice for NUS and NTU graduates.

5. Oh Dear Studio
Oh Dear Studio is the pick for a softer, editorial graduation look. Set in a naturally lit colonial shophouse and recognised by Tatler and Channel 8, it gives graduation portraits a warm, daylight feel rather than a hard studio finish, a nice alternative if you want something less standard.
For a graduate who wants their convocation photos to have a distinctive, natural-light aesthetic, they stand out. A good choice for an editorial graduation shoot.

Website: ohdearstudio.com.sg
Best known for: Natural-light, editorial graduation portraits
6. Tomato Photo Studio
Tomato Photo Studio brings its master-photographer quality to graduation portraits. For a graduate who wants a premium, beautifully lit and finished set, rather than a quick standard shoot, the craft and consistency Tomato is known for lifts the result.
For a milestone worth marking with real quality, and perhaps a family portrait in the same session, they are a strong pick. A good choice for a premium graduation shoot.

Website: tomato.sg
Best known for: Premium, master-photographer graduation portraits
7. Our Momento
Our Momento is the pick when you want the family in the graduation photos. As a studio that also does family portraits, they are set up to include proud parents and grandparents in the convocation shoot, turning it into a family occasion rather than just solo portraits.
For a graduate whose family wants to celebrate together on camera, that family-friendly approach is the draw. A good choice for a family graduation session.

Website: ourmomento.sg
Best known for: Graduation portraits with the family included
8. Beauty Box Studio
Beauty Box Studio rounds out the list as a dedicated convocation photographer (formerly at Pacific Plaza). Their focus on graduation and convocation portraits means they know the look, the poses and the process well, which makes for an efficient, confident shoot on a milestone day.

Do graduation studios provide the official gown?
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.
How much does a graduation photoshoot cost in Singapore?
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.
Can my family join the graduation shoot?
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.
When should I book my graduation photoshoot?
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.
Need a website that brings in more bookings
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.

The bottom line
For the best graduation photoshoot in Singapore, White Room is my top pick as the leading studio with official gowns, Firefly and ABC are strong value packages, Serangoon Broadway guarantees the correct NUS and NTU gowns, Oh Dear and Tomato offer editorial and premium looks, Our Momento brings the family in, and Beauty Box is convocation-focused. Whatever you choose, confirm the gown, the image count, and book early for convocation season.
