Remember those photo booth machines that we could squeeze in to take fun sticker photos with our friends and/or crushes?

Back when smartphones weren't really a thing, these small photo kiosks, known as purikura (Japanese photo booth), was one of the activities you could do, other than watching a movie or loitering around the mall.

Ah, the memories. :')

Now you can relive those good times by heading to this studio in KL that lets you hold a mini photoshoot with your besties or fam, or it can even be a fun date!

'Hidden' within Walking On Sunshine, a salon and cafe in Mont Kiara, is this place called Photopia.

It's a self-photo studio with booths where you can take coloured or black/white photos for RM30 onwards. 

Depending on the package, you can choose between a grey or white background and get single and collage photos, as well as digital copies

Each booth can fit a maximum of five people. There's slightly more space than a purikura, so less squeezing involved (unless you want to)! :P

And obviously, the quality of the photos are way better than the kiosks we had decades ago.
