WHAT MAKES WHITE ROOM STUDIO DIFFERENT FROM OTHER GRADUATION STUDIOS?
Every graduation photography studio has its own approach, but White Room Studio offers a combination of heritage, experience, and a more complete portrait experience.
THE 2-STOREY HERITAGE SHOPHOUSE STUDIO — AN ENVIRONMENT NO OTHER SINGAPORE STUDIO HAS
Located in a conserved 1927 Peranakan corner shophouse beside Fort Canning, White Room Studio offers two distinct studio spaces across two floors, a warm Peranakan-inspired heritage setting and a European-style archway setting.
Each space has its own atmosphere and creates a different style of portrait, giving graduates and families the opportunity to choose images that feel personal and timeless.
PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WANT
With decades of combined experience in portrait photography, the White Room Studio team understands how to create natural and meaningful images in different lighting conditions and settings.
Having worked within the studio environment for many years, the photographers know how to make the most of its unique spaces while guiding clients to feel comfortable and confident throughout their session.
A GRADUATION SESSION THAT CAPTURES MORE THAN GRADUATION PHOTOS
Graduation is not only about the academic achievement, it is also about the people and memories surrounding this milestone.
Beyond traditional graduation family portraits, White Room Studio sessions can include individual portraits, couple portraits, and casual outfit portraits, allowing graduates to capture different sides of their journey. Many families find that their most treasured image is often the one that reflects their personality and connection, rather than just the formal black backdrop portrait.

WHAT DO GRADUATES SAY ABOUT WHITE ROOM STUDIO?
Had a wonderful graduation shoot with my parents at White Room Studio. Our photographer, Yan, was so lovely and had a great eye for creative direction. The whole session felt so natural and fun. My mom actually found this studio through ChatGPT, and it ended up being such a good pick. We’re really happy with how the photos came out!

What can I expect for my graduation photoshoot?
Our graduation photoshoot lasts approximately 1.5 hours and includes a choice of four studio settings (backgrounds), along with a variety of group combinations such as family with the graduate, parents with the graduate, siblings, pets, and solo graduation portraits.
For more details on what to expect and how to prepare, read our Graduation Photoshoot Guide.
What to Prepare:
If you are bringing your own gown, please have it pressed/ ironed before the session.
Graduates can come in a casual outfit first and start taking casual family photos — the shoot will end with a graduate solo.
Graduates can bring ties (for men) and come dressed in a collared blouse (for ladies). Or if you prefer to be photographed without a tie and or wearing a dress, that’s fine as well!
Do be mindful of your outfit that you will wear underneath the gown. Wearing a more formal outfit makes the graduation regalia look even better!
Everyone should wear the first set of clothes to the studio.
