The Photo Studio That Fits Where a Studio Can't
A portrait studio needs 200 sq ft, a photographer on salary, and an appointment. Pikcha needs 6.3 sq ft, a power socket, and eight seconds. The AI-powered studio engine rebuilds the background and relights every shot to studio quality, while keeping every face exactly as it is. You, but better. Full 4×6 portraits and Korean strips in hand, every photo on WhatsApp, and guests can print photos straight from their own phones. Built by Bamigos in Delhi. from ₹3.5 Lakhs.
From Ordinary Photo to Studio Portrait
People don't want to look like someone else. They want to look like themselves, on their best day. The studio engine keeps every face exactly as it is and replaces everything else: background, clutter, lighting. Eight seconds.
Before, ordinary photo
After. Creamy Celebrity Portrait
Seven friends crammed into one booth photo at a gaming arcade: venue clutter gone, every face untouched.
Demonstration images use AI-generated people, processed through the same production effects that run on every Pikcha booth.
How an Ordinary Photo Becomes a Studio Shot
No green screen. No photographer. No editing queue. The studio is software.
1. A normal photo
Guests walk up and pose, no cabin walls, so the whole friend group fits in frame.
2. The studio engine rebuilds the scene
Background replaced with a seamless studio backdrop. Bystanders and clutter removed. Faces relit with studio-grade lighting.
3. Faces stay untouched
Same expression, same pose, same spectacles, same jewellery. If a style ever conflicts with your likeness, your likeness wins.
4. Everyone gets a copy
Framed 4×6 or Korean strip in hand, full photo on WhatsApp, QR download for the group.
Eighteen Studio Looks, On Every Booth
The most-used effect across our entire fleet is a studio look, not a costume. Research and our own fleet data agree: people want photos that look like themselves, the best version of themselves.
And when guests want to be royalty instead of just well-lit, the same booth carries 200+ AI Magic effects and Korean 4-cut strips.
200+ AI Generations

The Business Case
Groups, not couples
Watch five friends at a cabin booth: two go in, three wait, one strip comes out. At Pikcha all five are in the photo, and all five want their own print. Same footfall, several times the revenue per group.
Runs itself
Guests pay by UPI, choose a look on the 21.5" touchscreen, and collect their prints. No photographer, no attendant. You monitor everything, paper, uptime, revenue, from the operator dashboard.
Gets better after you buy it
Every other machine on your floor is worth less each year. Pikcha ships new studio looks and effects to your booth automatically, free, for life. The engine behind it is the cutting edge of imaging, as it gets better, the booth you already own gets better with it.

Photo Studio Booth. FAQ
Is this a green screen photo booth?
No. There is nothing to stand in front of. The booth takes a normal photo, and the studio engine rebuilds the background and lighting around your guests, edges, shadows and reflections are handled per person. Green screens need controlled lighting and still leave halos; Pikcha works in any venue lighting.
Will I still look like myself?
Yes. That is the design rule the engine enforces above everything else. Your face, expression, pose, spectacles and jewellery stay exactly as photographed. Only the background, lighting and colour grade change. If a style instruction ever conflicts with your likeness, your likeness wins.
How is this different from a normal photo booth?
A cabin photo booth photographs 2-3 people against a curtain and prints one strip. Pikcha is open-format, a whole friend group fits in frame, and every photo comes out looking studio-shot: seamless backdrop, professional lighting, clean edges. Each friend takes their own print, delivered on WhatsApp too.
How is this different from a real photo studio?
A portrait studio needs 200+ sq ft, a photographer, and an appointment. Pikcha needs 6.3 sq ft and eight seconds, runs self-service with UPI payments, and costs a session fee instead of a sitting fee. For venues, it is a photo studio that pays rent to nobody.
What studio looks are included?
Eighteen studio looks ship on every booth, from High-Key Fashion (white seamless, magazine finish) to Dark Luxury (cinematic low-key) and Rembrandt Studio (classical portrait lighting). Beyond the studio, the same booth carries 200+ AI Magic effects and Korean 4-cut strips. New looks are added automatically, free, for life.
What print formats does it support?
Framed 4x6 prints and 2x6 Korean 4-cut strips (printed in pairs and auto-cut), on a DNP dye-sublimation printer, dry and smudge-proof in seconds. Guests can also scan a QR code and print photos straight from their own phone.
How much space and power does it need?
The booth has a 6.3 sq ft footprint (6.71 ft H x 3.29 ft W x 1.92 ft D) and runs on a standard power socket. It fits next to a pillar, in a cafe corner, or at a mall kiosk spot.
How much does a photo studio booth cost in India?
Pikcha starts from ₹3.5 Lakhs (Pikcha Lite). Most venues choose Pikcha Studio from ₹4.5 Lakhs. Event rentals are available at ₹40,000 per day including 500 prints. All tiers include the studio looks, the full effects library with lifetime updates, built-in UPI, and WhatsApp delivery.
