POSING for a camera can be awkward, especially for those who are conscious of their appearance or are just too shy to strike a pose in front of a complete stranger.

But thanks to the growing industry of self-shoot studios in the Philippines, individuals can now get their photos taken all by themselves, at their own pace.

Self-shoot photo studios are professional studios that allow customers to have access to and use the necessary equipment and space to create professional-quality photographs. These studios are typically designed to be user-friendly, with all the equipment and technology required for a photo shoot readily available.

They may also offer a range of equipment, including cameras, lighting, backdrops, props, and other accessories. Self-shoot photo studios may also provide editing software and technical support to help users achieve their desired results.

Spice up your Instagram feed and take non-awkward photos with family, friends, or just yourselves in these five self-shoot studios in the metro!
