Photo service FAQs for Forest Gate customers
Could your team prepare passport or visa photos from an online order, and do I normally need an appointment?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. Online orders need an original, unedited camera file with space around the head and shoulders. Follow the instructions on our online passport photo page. 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 make photo prints from a USB drive or memory card, and can several files or sizes share one order?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. 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 arrange a family portrait session, and will you confirm the session price before booking?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. A booked session allows time to discuss group size, clothing, backgrounds and the style of photographs you want. View our family portrait photography. We confirm the chosen package, optional extras and booking price in advance. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you offer a choice of paper finish, borders and cropping, and how can I avoid losing image quality?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. 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 create business portraits for LinkedIn and company websites, and what should I bring to the session?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. Business portraits can be planned around your profession, brand and intended online or printed use. See our corporate headshot and business portrait service. 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 existing photographs as digital files, and do I normally need to order in advance?
Yes, this can be arranged. Clean, flat originals normally give the best scans, but delicate photographs should be left untouched for us to assess. Ask about scanning and printing from existing photographs. Standard counter orders are usually walk-in, although a large or unusual job is best discussed first. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team arrange studio photography for pets, teenagers or special occasions, and how are the selected photographs supplied?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. The session plan depends on the subject, group size and style of photographs required. Explore the different choices on our Highgate photography studio page. The selected photographs and any included retouching are supplied according to the booked package. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
