Photo service FAQs for Homerton customers
Can I ask your team to photograph babies and young children for passport applications, and how do I identify the correct requirements?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. 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. We check the selected authority and application method before preparing the photograph. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to print photographs directly from a phone or camera, and what print or digital choices are available?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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. The available output depends on the product, so specify whether you need prints, files or both. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to supply digital passport photographs for online applications, and can several family applications be handled together?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. 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. Family applications can be handled together, but each person and document type is checked separately. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to produce enlargements and poster-size photo prints, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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. File preparation, print size, quantity and finish all influence completion time. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to photograph professional actors’ headshots, and how should I prepare for the photographs?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Actors’ headshots should look natural, current and suitable for casting use. We discuss clothing and intended roles before your actors’ headshot session. Rest well, avoid last-minute appearance changes and bring clothing that suits the intended use. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to turn a favourite photograph into a canvas print, and how do I choose the most suitable size and finish?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Canvas works best from a clear, high-resolution image with enough space near the edges for wrapping. View our canvas printing options before ordering. We can compare practical size, crop, border and finish choices before you decide. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to take graduation portraits for individuals and families, and do I need to book in advance?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Graduation sessions can include individual portraits and photographs with family or friends. Clothing and available gown choices are covered on our graduation photography page. Studio photography should be booked so the right amount of time and preparation can be reserved. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
