Portraits Studio by Linked U Studio at Central Rama 9 in Bangkok

A portrait session here takes care of the details that can make a professional or birthday photo feel like a chore: you pick an outfit, have your hair and makeup done, then get guidance in front of the camera. The studio is inside Central Rama 9, so you can arrive without hunting down a separate address across Bangkok.

I like two things in particular: the makeup, styling, and photography are bundled together, and you get help with posing even if you have never had a studio shoot. One consideration: the photographer’s working style may feel serious, and you should allow 2 to 2.5 hours rather than treating this as a quick stop.

Key things to know

• Third floor of Central Rama 9: The studio is at Linked U Studio, in the Rama 9 branch.
• One outfit per package: Standard outfit sizes run from S to XL.
• Makeup and hair are part of the session: The styling appointment can take 30 to 60 minutes.
• Posing help is included: You do not need to arrive knowing how to pose.
• One retouched image comes with the LinkedIn package: It includes a 5,800-pixel file and a print in your preferred size.
• Extra images cost 490 to 590 baht each: Check which and how many photos your chosen package includes before booking.

A studio portrait without the usual guesswork

Linked U Studio is a practical choice if you want a polished portrait but do not want to assemble the pieces yourself. You do not need to find a makeup artist, bring a full set of wardrobe options, or arrive with a list of poses. The studio supplies an outfit, hair and makeup services, and a photographer who directs you through the shoot.

That all-in-one setup is the main value here. A portrait session can be awkward when you are unsure what to wear or what to do with your hands. Having staff guide those decisions makes the experience more approachable, especially if your goal is a LinkedIn profile image or a birthday portrait rather than a formal modeling session.

The studio is at Central Rama 9, at 9/9 Rama 9 Road, Huai Khwang, on the third floor. The address makes it easy to identify the branch when booking or asking for directions. The activity information does not give transport or parking details, so check the mall’s current guidance if you plan to drive or need a particular route.

Start with a style and outfit consultation

The session begins with a consultation about your makeup and outfit style. This is a useful moment to explain what you want the finished portrait to communicate. A LinkedIn image, for instance, may call for a different look from a celebratory birthday portrait, so be clear about your purpose before the styling begins.

You then choose and change into one outfit included with the package. Standard sizes are listed as S to XL. If you usually need a size beyond that range, contact the studio in advance to ask about options. One customer with a larger-than-typical Asian size found the staff helpful in searching for clothes that fit, but that does not guarantee every size will be available.

The one-outfit limit is worth keeping in mind. This is not a multi-look fashion shoot unless your package specifically says otherwise. Choose a package that suits the number of images and styling changes you want, and ask before booking if you are unsure what is covered.

Makeup and hair take 30 to 60 minutes

After choosing an outfit, you move on to skin preparation, makeup, and hairstyling. The process is listed as taking 30 to 60 minutes, while the included service describes a 60-minute session. Allow for the longer end when planning your day, especially if you have another appointment afterward.

The staff are a major part of the experience. The reception team, makeup artists, and hairstylists have been praised for being friendly and accommodating, including helping with outfit choices. That warm start can help settle nerves before the camera comes out.

You can also expect English-speaking staff and refreshments. Those are small comforts, but they matter during a session that takes a couple of hours. You are not simply walking in, taking one picture, and leaving; the styling and selection stages take time.

The photographer guides your poses

Once you are ready, you enter the studio for the photoshoot. No posing experience is required. The photographer is there to direct you, which is especially helpful if you feel stiff in front of a camera or have no idea where to look.

One point to prepare for: the shoot may feel more focused and serious than a relaxed social photo session. A customer who was nervous about posing found the photographer’s serious manner a little intimidating, even though the final images turned out well. That does not mean you should expect an unfriendly experience, but it is useful to know that the photographer may concentrate on getting the shot rather than chatting throughout.

If you feel unsure, say so at the start. You can tell the photographer what kind of expression you want or that you need clear direction. The service includes posing guidance, so asking for a little extra help is a sensible part of the session, not a sign that you are doing it wrong.

Photo selection, retouching, and prints

After the shoot, you review the images and choose your photos. For the LinkedIn package, one fine retouched photo is included. It comes as a 5,800-pixel digital file, along with a print in your preferred size.

The studio then briefs you on retouching. The first included image is printed, or you can arrange a later pickup or delivery. Same-day retouching is a key part of the offer, but the process information also allows for a later pickup or delivery, so do not assume every print will be ready before you leave. Confirm the timing when you select your image.

Extra photos can be purchased at the studio for 490 to 590 baht each. That can be good value if you like several shots and want more than the included image, but the add-on cost can build quickly. Decide how many edited images you are willing to pay for before you start choosing.

The retouching and final images are among the strongest reasons to book. Customers have been very pleased with the editing and with how the finished portraits looked. As with any portrait studio, tell the retoucher what you want preserved or adjusted so the final result still looks like you.

Choose the package that matches your purpose

Two package options are listed: LinkedIn Profile with makeup and photoshoot, from US$74.10, and Birthday Portraits x3 pics with makeup and photoshoot, from US$95.25. The general starting price shown for the experience is US$81.55. Prices can vary by package or booking details, so check the current amount and inclusions for your date before paying.

The LinkedIn package details specify one retouched image, a high-resolution file, and a print. The birthday option is named for three pictures, but the exact number of included retouched files and prints should be confirmed when you select it. Do not assume the LinkedIn package’s one-image terms apply to the birthday package, or vice versa.

At the listed add-on rate, extra images cost 490 to 590 baht each. The package price is most compelling if you want professional styling and one finished portrait without arranging separate services. If you mainly want several casual pictures, or already have access to makeup and photography, the bundled service may be more than you need.

Plan the session around the full time commitment

Set aside about 2 to 2.5 hours for the full service. That covers the consultation, changing, makeup and hair, the shoot, photo selection, and retouching discussion. The photoshoot itself is only one part of the visit, so avoid scheduling a tight appointment immediately afterward.

The voucher is valid only on the date and time specified, if a time is shown. The last admission is one hour before closing. If your plans change, changes are generally allowed until 24 hours before the activity, with stated exceptions for certain passes, presales, freebies, and bookings where a voucher has not been issued.

Cancellation at least 24 hours before the activity date, using Bangkok local time, qualifies for a full refund. The activity has no age limit. Confirmation is usually issued within minutes; if it does not arrive, contact customer support.

For questions, the studio number is +66 91 919 1000. When calling, say you are booking through Klook. It is worth asking about outfit sizing, the number of images included in your chosen package, and whether your print will be ready the same day.

Who will get the most from this shoot

This is a good fit if you want a professional portrait but would rather not coordinate wardrobe, makeup, and photography on your own. It also suits anyone who feels uncertain about posing and appreciates being directed. The friendly service around reception and styling can make the visit feel more personal than a quick, self-service photo booth.

The birthday package is a natural choice if you want a more celebratory set of portraits. The LinkedIn package is better aimed at a single polished profile image. Either way, check the image count and print details so the package matches what you hope to take home.

If you are sensitive to a serious studio atmosphere, keep in mind that the camera session may feel focused rather than chatty. You can still ask for direction and explain what makes you comfortable. The strong editing and finished portraits are a reason to consider the experience, but your enjoyment will depend partly on how you feel in front of a camera.

Should you book Linked U Studio?

Book this if you value convenience, professional styling, and a finished portrait more than a quick session. The location at Central Rama 9, included outfit, makeup and hair, guided posing, and retouched image make the package a straightforward way to get a polished result.

Before booking, compare the LinkedIn and birthday options, confirm the number of edited images and prints, and ask about clothing sizes if you need something outside S to XL. If you are happy to spend two hours or more and want help at each step, this studio is a sensible choice. If you only need a fast snapshot, the full service may be too much.
