Photo service FAQs for Shoreditch customers
Can I ask your team to recover footage from a damaged or broken videotape, and what tapes or reels should I bring?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. A damaged cassette needs inspection before playback because forcing it can worsen the problem. Describe the damage and review our video tape repair service. Keep each cassette or reel labelled and include any known format, running time and recording standard. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to prepare international passport, visa and ID photographs, and do I normally need an appointment?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Requirements vary by country, document type and application method, so bring the application instructions when available. Browse our passport, visa and ID photo services. 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 I ask your team to accept suitable work by post or through an online order, and how will completed work be returned?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Some digital services can be ordered online and selected film or media work can be arranged by post after checking the details. Use our contact page before sending valuable material. Return arrangements are agreed before work starts and depend on the item and chosen service. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to prepare passport or visa photos from an online order, and will you confirm the price before taking the photograph?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Online orders need an original, unedited camera file with space around the head and shoulders. Follow the instructions on our online passport photo page. 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 make photo prints from a USB drive or memory card, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. 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 arrange a family portrait session, and what should I bring to the session?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. A booked session allows time to discuss group size, clothing, backgrounds and the style of photographs you want. View our family portrait photography. 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.
Can your Highgate shop offer a choice of paper finish, borders and cropping, and how do I choose the most suitable size and finish?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. We can compare practical size, crop, border and finish choices before you decide. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
