Photo service FAQs for Holloway customers
Can I ask your team to make photo prints from a USB drive or memory card, and can several files or sizes share one order?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. 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. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Do you arrange a family portrait session, and what affects the time needed for the finished images?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. A booked session allows time to discuss group size, clothing, backgrounds and the style of photographs you want. View our family portrait photography. Selection, retouching requirements and the number of finished photographs affect delivery time. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to offer a choice of paper finish, borders and cropping, and how can I avoid losing image quality?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. 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. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Do you create business portraits for LinkedIn and company websites, and how do I choose the right type of session?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Business portraits can be planned around your profession, brand and intended online or printed use. See our corporate headshot and business portrait service. We can compare session length, setting and image requirements before a booking is made. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to scan existing photographs as digital files, and do I normally need to order in advance?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. 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. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Do you arrange studio photography for pets, teenagers or special occasions, and can more than one person or look be included?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. The session plan depends on the subject, group size and style of photographs required. Explore the different choices on our Highgate photography studio page. Group size, clothing changes and different looks should be agreed when arranging the session. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to digitise mounted slides and transparencies, and will you confirm the service price first?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Slides can be scanned for convenient viewing, archiving and new prints. Keep them in their boxes or sleeves and review our slide scanning service. The film type, number of rolls and selected processing, scans or prints are confirmed before charging. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
