LIFE4CUTS (Bugis Junction)

LIFE4CUTS at Bugis Junction hands you a short animated GIF of the session alongside the prints, which is the part people forget is included and then send the most. The booth runs the chain’s four-cut format with a choice of frames and backdrops, and the props here get used rather than ignored — hanbok among them.

Pay attention at the payment screen. Cash needs the exact amount and there is a two-minute countdown once you start feeding notes in; miss it and the machine will not take the rest or hand back what it has, and staff have no way to override it. Card is the safer route.

Groups routinely split one strip between them afterwards, so bring scissors, because the booth does not supply any. It is a machine rather than a staffed studio, which is fine once you know how it works and awkward the first time. This is the busiest of the chain’s Singapore outlets, so a weekday afternoon is the version without a queue. You will find it on level 3 of Bugis Junction.
