Photo service FAQs for Lambeth customers
Is it possible to take compliant UK passport photographs, and what happens if the application rules have changed?
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. If official guidance has changed, we use the latest applicable requirements rather than an outdated sample. 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 information should I provide?
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. Tell us the occasion, intended recipient and whether you want a photography experience or printed item. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to photograph babies and young children for passport applications, and do I normally need an appointment?
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. Most passport and ID photographs are handled without an appointment, subject to current opening arrangements. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop print photographs directly from a phone or camera, and what print or digital choices are available?
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. The available output depends on the product, so specify whether you need prints, files or both. 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 will you confirm the price before taking the photograph?
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 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 your Highgate shop produce enlargements and poster-size photo prints, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
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. File preparation, print size, quantity and finish all influence completion time. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to photograph professional actors’ headshots, and what should I bring to the session?
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. Bring suitable clothing and any meaningful props, and tell us how the photographs will be used. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
