Photo service FAQs for Crystal Palace customers
Is it possible to take compliant UK passport photographs, and will you confirm the price before taking the photograph?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. We prepare the photograph for the relevant UK application route and can supply the required printed or digital result. See our UK passport photo service. We confirm the document type, required output and price before taking the final photograph. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to provide photo gift vouchers or printed photo gifts, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Gift choices depend on whether you want a studio experience, photographs or another printed item. Start with our studio photography gift vouchers. Personalisation, quantity, product type and a required presentation date affect timing. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to photograph babies and young children for passport applications, and what application details should I bring?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Baby photographs need patience as well as the correct background, pose and dimensions for the application. Our baby passport photo page explains how we help. Bring the application instructions, country, document type and application route when available. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop print photographs directly from a phone or camera, and how do I choose the most suitable size and finish?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to supply digital passport photographs for online applications, and can you supply the required printed or digital result?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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. We supply the printed dimensions or digital format required for the selected application route. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop produce enlargements and poster-size photo prints, and can several files or sizes share one order?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to photograph professional actors’ headshots, and what affects the time needed for the finished images?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Actors’ headshots should look natural, current and suitable for casting use. We discuss clothing and intended roles before your actors’ headshot session. Selection, retouching requirements and the number of finished photographs affect delivery time. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
