As someone who loves taking photos, I can wholeheartedly say that sometimes, selfies and groupfies aren’t enough to commemorate beautiful moments. For those times when I want a picture to be hung inside our homes, I turn to the best photo studios in Kuala Lumpur.
As much as we recommend taking photos with Malaysia’s iconic buildings and landmarks, it’s nice to have a family portrait taken in a well-lit studio by a professional photographer.
So if you’re looking to add some more personality to your homes or you just want to have a physical photo of your loved ones in your wallet, you’ve come to the right place! Here are some of our top picks for the best photo studios in Kuala Lumpur:
How much do photo studios charge in Kuala Lumpur?
The cost of renting a photo studio in Kuala Lumpur can range from RM200 to RM1,000. This depends on factors such as the facilities, props, the location of the studio and the number of hours the studio will be rented.
1. Why Not Studio MY
Services: Family portrait, personal portrait, food and product photography, event photography
Location: 17, Jalan Lima, Chan Sow Lin
Contact: +60 10-213 0621
Business hours: Daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
We think that Why Not Studio MY is one of the trendiest photo studios in Kuala Lumpur mainly because of its modern approach. It replaces the traditional and plain rooms in exchange for a great variety of designs, backgrounds, lighting and props.
Their studio is spacious enough to cater to large groups and families while also providing a comfortable waiting area. Furthermore, they also feature a vanity room where customers can get their make-up done and look their very best before heading to the spotlight.
Aside from offering a well-equipped, we also appreciate the variety of photography services that they have. For instance, they can also do food and product photography for those looking to market their small businesses, which we thought was pretty neat.
The only downside with this studio is its expensive rates. However, we do appreciate how their photographer breaks down this cost, as it lets customers understand how they came up with those prices—plus, it’s money worth spending based on their proven projects.
So professional
“It is our company’s second time taking a group photo here. Photographer Kelvin is so professional in his photography service and consultation. He is always responsive to our messages and questions, too!
He and his team gave a lot of good advice and service during the photography session. The picture quality of all singles is nice, too. We highly recommend this studio!”

Overall, a great experience and will come back again!
“Thanks for the great services provided! It was my family and my first experience with studio and family shooting, and we were pretty anxious and worried that things would get awkward.
But the crew were nice and had casual conversations throughout the session, so we were able to enjoy ourselves.
They also provided suggestions on the pose, which thus allowed us to have more selections of our preferred photos. The outcome of the photos looked promising too! The environment was bright and spacious with cute cats around.
The price of photo shooting and photo selection were explained in detail at the end of the session. Overall, a great experience and will come back again!”

2. Loominos Studio
Services: Family portraits, outdoor portraits, wedding, pre-wedding
Location: 2-1, Jalan Kuchai Maju 9, Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park
Business hours: Thursday to Tuesday: 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Contact: +60 11-2668 8600
Loominos Studio immediately struck us because of its impressive portfolio. Scrolling down its rows of previous projects impressed us, as we saw how they can nail both traditional/formal portraits and creative shots.
For instance, they offer beautiful and classy family portraits in their homey and cosy-looking studio. It features a beautiful monochromatic backdrop as well as an elegant couch that can perfectly seat families.
At the same time, they can also turn the studio into something straight from a fairy tale! There’s also a shot where they made it seem like the subject was behind a window that features droplets of rain, further instilling their photographers’ creativity in our minds.
However, it’s only open for seven hours, which isn’t enough considering how many customers they have every day—plus, they’re only open six days a week. Also, we wish that they can also cater to small businesses by offering product photoshoots.
Very comfortable and we enjoyed the session
“The photographer there is very nice and gives lots of patience in guiding the pose. The entire shooting environment was very comfortable and we enjoyed the session. Thanks again for the photographer.”

3. EZZSTUDIO
Services: Product photography, social media content, portraits
Location: No. 59-1, Maxim Citylights, Jln Sentul Pasar, Sentul
Contact: +60 3-4031 5901
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Saturday: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
People who want to promote their products and boost their social media engagement will enjoy EZZSTUDIO. They offer day rentals for one of their photo studios and you’re free to take as many photos as you want of your product!
The studio comes with a myriad of lighting options to make products pop out even more. Plus, the room can be transformed into a set depending on what the client wants to be advertised.
People can also use this day rental to take stunning photos of themselves and their loved ones. It’s notably spacious enough to house huge families and friend groups.
However, we felt that they’re shifting more towards product and marketing photography too much. It’s not a bad thing but people who want to take portraits can’t get any info from their website, as it only lists product photoshoots and social media content as their services.
Furthermore, we wish that they would offer a cheaper option for their studio rental than the one they have. As of the time of writing, they only offer a day rental for their studio, which costs RM1,000+.
Friendly and engaging
“Came here after being recommended by a close friend. Glad we listened to her as we had a good experience at EZZSTUDIO.
During the photoshoot, we were put to ease thanks to the friendly and engaging photographer. The photos turned out lovely. We enjoyed our session and will return again.”

Highly recommended
“Overall, I am very satisfied with the photoshoot session. The photographer team is super friendly, very helpful and has positive energy from the beginning until the end of the session. The outcome of the photos was extraordinary.
They create a welcoming and wonderful experience. I would definitely return for their service. Awesome and great time for us!”

4. MSSA Studio
Services: Videography, photography, wedding coverage, events coverage
Location: Bo-09 Blok B Glenview Business Centre Jalan 49 Taman Pinggiran Cheras Off Jalan Kuari Township, Cheras
Contact: +60 3-7960 3846
Business hours: Daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
We’ve heard of MSSA Studio long before making this list because they covered one of our friends’ weddings and we remember being amazed by their output. After seeing their portfolio, it’s safe to say that they were able to maintain the same quality after all these years.
One of our favourite things about MSSA Studio is its talented team of photographers. We’ve also interviewed some of their previous clients and they’ve noted how working with MSSA was like a fun picture day with friends.
We also appreciate the patience of these professionals, as they don’t rush clients when they’re getting ready for pictures. They’ll even guide their customers to make different poses to end up with great pictures, which is a huge A+ for us.
As much as we love the coverage of their events, however, we feel like their studio doesn’t leave us with the same impression. It doesn’t offer too much in terms of variety and it’s not that spacious for families and huge friend groups.
Nice and friendly
“Had a really great time taking pictures here with my person. At first, we were shy because there were so many others waiting at the side but they minded their own business and we got into it comfortably.
The workers there were also nice and friendly, they let us take our time getting ready.”

Truly enjoyed the experience
“Wanted to commemorate my first Raya celebration with a photoshoot and I came across MSSA Studio and their Classic Theme studio from TikTok. Booked it and truly enjoyed the experience. The set-up brings out the nostalgia and the photos turn out beautifully.”

5. Idees Photo Studio
Services: Pre-wedding photography, graduation photography, family portraits
Location: Vista Magna, Jalan Prima 5
Contact: +60 12-217 1077
Business hours:
- Tuesday to Saturday: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM
- Sunday: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Idees Photo Studio impressed us with its beautiful room. They feature different-coloured walls as well as elegant pieces of furniture to spice up your typical family, individual and couple portraits.
One of the best things about Idees, however, is its warm and welcoming environment, which we can see being appreciated by first-timers. In fact, one of their previous clients highlighted how the friendly photographers allowed her to break out of her shell, which was pretty nice.
We also appreciate how these professionals do a great job of providing instructions to guide their customers into making different poses. We’ve seen this with their previous works in their gallery and a handful of our interviewees also highlighted this.
Moreover, they can lend their services to events coverage, which they’ve proven well through their portfolio.
Our only gripe here is the expensive rate but if you have the budget, you can count on this studio to produce stunning and high-quality photos.
Nice and friendly staff members
“Went here for convocation photoshoot, it was a last-minute booking! They have a nice and friendly staff members. They even suggested we do many poses!
Come back here after a week to choose a photo. Recommended for any family photo, Raya photo also graduation photo. Thank you, Ms. Jayme and team!!”

Exceeded my expectations
“Idees Photo Studio provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. Specifically, the Lady was incredibly friendly and professional, making me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire photoshoot.
The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the final results. I highly recommend Idees Photo Studio to anyone looking for stunning, high-quality photography.”
