Photo service FAQs for Chingford customers
Can I ask your team to recover footage from a damaged or broken videotape, and can several tapes or reels share one order?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. A damaged cassette needs inspection before playback because forcing it can worsen the problem. Describe the damage and review our video tape repair service. Multiple tapes or reels can share an order when numbering and labels make the sequence clear. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to prepare international passport, visa and ID photographs, and how quickly is the finished photograph normally ready?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Requirements vary by country, document type and application method, so bring the application instructions when available. Browse our passport, visa and ID photo services. Most standard photographs are prepared promptly, while unusual digital or international routes may need extra checks. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to accept suitable work by post or through an online order, and how should irreplaceable originals be packed?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Some digital services can be ordered online and selected film or media work can be arranged by post after checking the details. Use our contact page before sending valuable material. Use rigid protection, waterproof outer packaging and tracked delivery for irreplaceable originals. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to prepare passport or visa photos from an online order, and how do I identify the correct requirements?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Online orders need an original, unedited camera file with space around the head and shoulders. Follow the instructions on our online passport photo page. We check the selected authority and application method before preparing the photograph. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop make photo prints from a USB drive or memory card, and do I normally need to order in advance?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. Keep the original files at their full resolution and organise them into a clearly named folder where possible. See the options for digital photo printing. Standard counter orders are usually walk-in, although a large or unusual job is best discussed first. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to arrange a family portrait session, and can more than one person or look be included?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. A booked session allows time to discuss group size, clothing, backgrounds and the style of photographs you want. View our family portrait photography. Group size, clothing changes and different looks should be agreed when arranging the session. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop offer a choice of paper finish, borders and cropping, and will you confirm the price before printing?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. The available finish and border choices depend on the print size and source image. We can show how cropping may affect the composition before making your photo prints. We will confirm the selected size, quantity, finish and price before printing. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
