Photo service FAQs for Wanstead customers
Could your team prepare passport or visa photos from an online order, and how quickly is the finished photograph normally ready?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. Online orders need an original, unedited camera file with space around the head and shoulders. Follow the instructions on our online passport photo page. Most standard photographs are prepared promptly, while unusual digital or international routes may need extra checks. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you make photo prints from a USB drive or memory card, and which file or original should I provide?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. Provide the highest-resolution original available and include the required size and quantity. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team arrange a family portrait session, and how do I choose the right type of session?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. A booked session allows time to discuss group size, clothing, backgrounds and the style of photographs you want. View our family portrait photography. We can compare session length, setting and image requirements before a booking is made. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you offer a choice of paper finish, borders and cropping, and what print or digital choices are available?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. The available output depends on the product, so specify whether you need prints, files or both. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team create business portraits for LinkedIn and company websites, and can more than one person or look be included?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. Business portraits can be planned around your profession, brand and intended online or printed use. See our corporate headshot and business portrait service. Group size, clothing changes and different looks should be agreed when arranging the session. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you scan existing photographs as digital files, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. File preparation, print size, quantity and finish all influence completion time. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team arrange studio photography for pets, teenagers or special occasions, and how should I prepare for the photographs?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. The session plan depends on the subject, group size and style of photographs required. Explore the different choices on our Highgate photography studio page. Rest well, avoid last-minute appearance changes and bring clothing that suits the intended use. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
