Portraits Studio by Linked U Studio at Samyan MitrTown in Bangkok

A studio portrait session can be more than a quick turn in front of a camera. At Linked U Studio, you get help with the whole process, from choosing an outfit and getting your hair and makeup done to posing and selecting a finished image. It is a practical way to leave Bangkok with a professional photo, not just another souvenir.

I like that makeup and hairstyling are included, so you do not need to arrive camera-ready. I also like the guided posing and same-day retouching, which take some of the guesswork out of getting a photo you will actually want to use.

The main consideration is time: allow about 2 to 2.5 hours for the full appointment, including a 60-minute beauty session. And one included image may be enough for a single headshot, but extra photos cost 490 to 590 baht each.

• The studio is inside Samyan MitrTown: Find Linked U Studio on the mall’s first floor.
• One outfit comes with each package: Choose from studio clothing in sizes S to XL.
• The beauty session takes about an hour: Makeup and hairstyling are included for one person.
• You get help posing: The photographer guides you, so you do not need portrait experience.
• Your first selected image is included: It comes as a 5,800-pixel digital file and a print in your chosen size.
• You can select different portrait styles: Options include LinkedIn, résumé, business looks, and color or black-and-white art portraits.

A professional portrait, without bringing your own kit

The appeal here is the all-in-one format. You arrive in your regular clothes, consult with the makeup artist about the look you want, select an outfit, and let the studio take care of the preparation and photography. That is useful if you need a polished headshot but do not have a suit, makeup supplies, or much idea how to pose.

This is a studio appointment, not a sightseeing activity. You will spend your time indoors, working toward a specific result: a professional portrait or a more styled art image. If your Bangkok plans already include a work profile update, a résumé refresh, or simply a portrait you like, the appointment puts the outfit, beauty work, camera, and retouching in one place.

The service is offered by Linked U Studio at Samyan MitrTown, on the first floor. English-speaking staff are included, which helps when describing a preferred makeup style or deciding which outfit fits the purpose of the photo. Refreshments are also included.

Choosing a package that fits your purpose

The package choices are not all the same, so it is worth deciding what you want before you book. A single LinkedIn headshot or Resume Premium package includes one photo. LinkedIn Dual includes two, and LinkedIn Combo includes three. Art Portraits in Colors or Black and White includes two images, while Art Portraits with Business Looks includes six.

The listed starting prices are US$47.39 for LinkedIn Headshot and Resume Premium, US$68.15 for LinkedIn Dual and Art Portraits in Colors or Black and White, US$73.75 for LinkedIn Combo, and US$118.50 for Art Portraits with Business Looks. The experience is also advertised from US$52.15 overall. Prices are shown as starting rates, so check the exact package and total at booking.

For a straightforward work profile, one-image packages keep the cost down. If you want more than one look or image, a multi-photo option may make better sense than buying every additional image separately. In the studio, add-on photos cost 490 to 590 baht each. Compare that fee with the package price before choosing, especially if you are likely to want several final shots.

The package names also hint at how to choose. LinkedIn and résumé options are aimed at a practical, business-ready portrait. Art Portraits in color or black and white gives you a more stylized result, while the six-image Art Portraits with Business Looks option is the broadest choice listed for someone who wants several portraits. The exact number of included photos is specified, but the details do not describe the poses or backgrounds, so ask the studio if you have a particular look in mind.

From outfit consultation to the makeup chair

The appointment begins with a consultation about makeup and outfit style. This is your chance to explain what you need the photo for and what sort of appearance you prefer. A LinkedIn profile photo and an art portrait need not have the same feel, so give the makeup artist a clear idea of your goal rather than leaving the choice entirely to chance.

Next, you select and change into one outfit included with your package. Studio clothing ranges from size S to XL. That saves you from packing a separate look, though the selection is not described in detail. If you have a strong preference about color, fit, or formality, it is sensible to ask what is available before your session.

Makeup and hairstyling take about 60 minutes. That is a substantial part of the appointment, not a quick powder touch-up, and it gives you time to get ready before stepping in front of the camera. The included service is for one person. There is no age limit stated for the activity, but the package details do not explain special arrangements for children or other individual needs.

Guided posing makes the camera less intimidating

After you are ready, you move into the studio for the photo session. The photographer guides your posing, which is especially helpful if you feel stiff when a camera points your way. You do not need to arrive knowing where to put your hands or how to angle your shoulders; the session is designed to help you find a confident pose.

That guidance matters because a professional portrait depends on more than clothing and makeup. A small change in posture or expression can make a photo feel more natural, and it is easier to make those adjustments with a photographer giving direction. The available customer feedback describes a cheerful service and a friendly atmosphere during the photo-taking, which fits the guided approach. There is only a small amount of feedback to go on, so I would treat that as an encouraging sign, not a guarantee of a particular experience.

The package determines how many final images are included, not how many raw files you receive. Raw files are not included. If you want more than the package’s allotted number of finished photos, you can buy add-ons in the studio for 490 to 590 baht per image.

Selecting a final image and getting it retouched

After the shoot, you review and select your photos. The first included image is retouched and delivered as a 5,800-pixel digital file, with a print in your desired size. This gives you both a file for online use and a physical print, without requiring a separate print order for that included photo.

You will also have a retouch briefing with the retoucher. That is a useful moment to explain what you want from the finished image. The service advertises same-day retouching, so you can take home a completed portrait rather than waiting through a long production period. The details also allow for arranging pickup or delivery later, so confirm the plan with the studio if you cannot stay.

Once you have chosen your photos, you change back into your original clothes. Build the full appointment into your day rather than squeezing it between tightly timed plans: the suggested duration is about 2 to 2.5 hours, and the makeup and hair stage alone takes an hour. The studio’s last admission is one hour before closing, so check its opening hours for your chosen date.

What the price buys, and what it does not

The value is in having several services bundled together: one outfit, a full makeup and hair session, a photographer who guides your posing, one retouched digital image, and a print of that image. If you would otherwise book those parts separately, the package can save planning as well as time. The included English-speaking staff and refreshments add comfort, though the main value is the finished portrait.

The price is less compelling if you only need a casual phone photo or already have a photographer and a look prepared. It is also worth budgeting for extra images if you are likely to want a selection. The one-image packages cover a single finished photo, and raw files are not part of the deal, so do not assume that every image taken during the session will be yours to keep.

Tipping and personal expenses are not included. No gratuity is listed as required, and no other personal costs are specified. Before booking, compare the number of final images in each package with your actual needs, rather than choosing only by the initial price.

Who will get the most from this session

I would consider this for anyone who needs a headshot for LinkedIn or a résumé and wants professional help getting ready. It is also a sensible choice if you want a more styled portrait and like the idea of having makeup, clothing, posing, and retouching handled in one appointment.

The process may suit people who are uneasy in front of a camera because posing guidance is included. It also makes packing simpler: one outfit is provided, in sizes S to XL. But if you have a particular style or fit in mind, the clothing selection is not described in detail, so check with the studio rather than counting on a specific garment.

The session is for one person per included makeup and hair service. Families or pairs should confirm arrangements directly, since the package information does not spell out group pricing or whether people can share a session. You can contact the studio at +66 91 919 1000 and say you are from Klook if you have questions.

Should you book Linked U Studio?

Book it if you want a finished, retouched portrait and appreciate having the preparation and photography in one place. The strongest reasons are the included makeup and hairstyling, the photographer’s posing guidance, and the combination of a high-resolution digital file with a print. The friendly, upbeat service described in the available customer feedback is a welcome extra, though the feedback is limited.

Skip it if you only need a quick snapshot, do not want professional makeup, or have no time for a two-hour appointment. Before paying, choose the package by its number and style of final images, confirm the current price, and ask about clothing if you have a particular look in mind. That small bit of planning helps you leave with a portrait that fits its purpose.
