Photo service FAQs for Norwood West customers
Do you supply digital passport photographs for online applications, and how quickly is the finished photograph normally ready?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. 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. Most standard photographs are prepared promptly, while unusual digital or international routes may need extra checks. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to produce enlargements and poster-size photo prints, and how can I avoid losing image quality?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. 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. 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 photograph professional actors’ headshots, and how do I choose the right type of session?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Actors’ headshots should look natural, current and suitable for casting use. We discuss clothing and intended roles before your actors’ headshot session. 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 turn a favourite photograph into a canvas print, and do I normally need to order in advance?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Canvas works best from a clear, high-resolution image with enough space near the edges for wrapping. View our canvas printing options before ordering. 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 take graduation portraits for individuals and families, and can more than one person or look be included?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Graduation sessions can include individual portraits and photographs with family or friends. Clothing and available gown choices are covered on our graduation photography 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 scan developed 35mm negatives at high resolution, and will you confirm the service price first?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Bring complete negative strips where possible and avoid cutting them into individual frames. Our 35mm negative scanning guide explains the digital-file 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.
Do you restore a faded, torn or creased photograph, and how will you protect a fragile original?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Restoration is carried out from a careful digital scan so the original can be preserved. Damage and complexity determine the work required; see our photo restoration service. We scan the photograph carefully and carry out restoration on the digital copy rather than altering the original. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
