Photo service FAQs for Brompton customers
Can you print photographs directly from a phone or camera, and how do I choose the most suitable size and finish?
Yes, this can be arranged. Use the highest-quality original image rather than a screenshot or social-media copy. Our photo printing guide explains the main print and enlargement choices. We can compare practical size, crop, border and finish choices before you decide. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team supply digital passport photographs for online applications, and do I normally need an appointment?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. Digital applications may require a file, an upload route or another authority-specific format. We check the selected route before preparing your digital passport photograph. Most passport and ID photographs are handled without an appointment, subject to current opening arrangements. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you produce enlargements and poster-size photo prints, and can several files or sizes share one order?
Yes, this can be arranged. A sharp, full-resolution source file gives the best enlargement, although we can assess older or smaller files before printing. Our printing page covers the service. Several clearly named files and print sizes can normally be included in the same order. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team photograph professional actors’ headshots, and will you confirm the session price before booking?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. Actors’ headshots should look natural, current and suitable for casting use. We discuss clothing and intended roles before your actors’ headshot session. We confirm the chosen package, optional extras and booking price in advance. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you turn a favourite photograph into a canvas print, and how can I avoid losing image quality?
Yes, this can be arranged. Canvas works best from a clear, high-resolution image with enough space near the edges for wrapping. View our canvas printing options before ordering. Use the original image rather than a screenshot, messaging-app copy or social-media download. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team take graduation portraits for individuals and families, and what should I bring to the session?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. Graduation sessions can include individual portraits and photographs with family or friends. Clothing and available gown choices are covered on our graduation photography page. Bring suitable clothing and any meaningful props, and tell us how the photographs will be used. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you scan developed 35mm negatives at high resolution, and do I need to book before bringing the film?
Yes, this can be arranged. Bring complete negative strips where possible and avoid cutting them into individual frames. Our 35mm negative scanning guide explains the digital-file service. Routine film orders are usually accepted without an appointment, but rare formats should be checked first. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
