Photo service FAQs for Brixton Central customers
Do you accept suitable work by post or through an online order, and how should irreplaceable originals be packed?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. 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. Use rigid protection, waterproof outer packaging and tracked delivery for irreplaceable originals. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to prepare passport or visa photos from an online order, and what application details should I bring?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Online orders need an original, unedited camera file with space around the head and shoulders. Follow the instructions on our online passport photo page. Bring the application instructions, country, document type and application route when available. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to make photo prints from a USB drive or memory card, and do I normally need to order in advance?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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. Standard counter orders are usually walk-in, although a large or unusual job is best discussed first. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to arrange a family portrait session, and how are the selected photographs supplied?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. A booked session allows time to discuss group size, clothing, backgrounds and the style of photographs you want. View our family portrait photography. The selected photographs and any included retouching are supplied according to the booked package. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to offer a choice of paper finish, borders and cropping, and will you confirm the price before printing?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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 will confirm the selected size, quantity, finish and price before printing. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to create business portraits for LinkedIn and company websites, and what affects the time needed for the finished images?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Business portraits can be planned around your profession, brand and intended online or printed use. See our corporate headshot and business portrait service. Selection, retouching requirements and the number of finished photographs affect delivery time. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to scan existing photographs as digital files, and which file or original should I provide?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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. Provide the highest-resolution original available and include the required size and quantity. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
