Take Old-School Photos At Hip Xiong Studio In Singapore

Take a step back into the past when you visit Hip Xiong, a photo studio that produces old-school wet-plate tintype portraits — much like the ones that were popular in the 1850s. Using modern equipment and refined techniques, owner Ryan Lee revives the charm of a medium that predates film, blurring the lines between alchemy and photography.

The studio does solo, couple, and group portraits of up to five people, and you get to witness first-hand the development of your own pictures after. The old-school interior will have you feeling like you’ve traveled back in time the moment you step in, so all in all it’s an immersive experience that’s truly worth a try. To make your portrait look more authentic, dress up in your most retro-looking ensemble the day of your visit!
