Photo service FAQs for Finsbury customers
Can your Highgate shop process or scan APS Advantix film, and do I need to book before bringing the film?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. APS cartridges can require different handling depending on whether the film is exposed, developed or still inside the cartridge. Our APS Advantix service page explains the options. Routine film orders are usually accepted without an appointment, but rare formats should be checked first. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to apply AI enhancement to scanned cine film, and can several tapes or reels share one order?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. AI enhancement is an optional stage for suitable 8mm, 9.5mm and 16mm scans, intended to improve viewing while respecting the original footage. Read about AI cine enhancement. Multiple tapes or reels can share an order when numbering and labels make the sequence clear. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop take compliant UK passport photographs, and will you confirm the price before taking the photograph?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to provide photo gift vouchers or printed photo gifts, and can you explain any redemption conditions?

Can your Highgate shop photograph babies and young children for passport applications, and what application details should I bring?

Our baby passport photo page explains how we help. Bring the application instructions, country, document type and application route when available. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team print photographs directly from a phone or camera, and do I normally need to order in advance?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. Standard counter orders are usually walk-in, although a large or unusual job is best discussed first. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop supply digital passport photographs for online applications, and can you supply the required printed or digital result?
