Photo service FAQs for Maida Vale customers
Can you prepare international passport, visa and ID photographs, and how do I identify the correct requirements?
Yes, this can be arranged. Requirements vary by country, document type and application method, so bring the application instructions when available. Browse our passport, visa and ID photo services. We check the selected authority and application method before preparing the photograph. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team accept suitable work by post or through an online order, and do I still need an appointment?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. An appointment is only needed when the selected service requires reserved studio or assessment time. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you prepare passport or visa photos from an online order, and can several family applications be handled together?
Yes, this can be arranged. Online orders need an original, unedited camera file with space around the head and shoulders. Follow the instructions on our online passport photo page. Family applications can be handled together, but each person and document type is checked separately. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
What is involved when you make photo prints from a USB drive or memory card, and will you confirm the price before printing?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. 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. We will confirm the selected size, quantity, finish and price before printing. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you arrange a family portrait session, and how should I prepare for the photographs?
Yes, this can be arranged. A booked session allows time to discuss group size, clothing, backgrounds and the style of photographs you want. View our family portrait photography. Rest well, avoid last-minute appearance changes and bring clothing that suits the intended use. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
What is involved when you offer a choice of paper finish, borders and cropping, and which file or original should I provide?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. 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. Provide the highest-resolution original available and include the required size and quantity. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you create business portraits for LinkedIn and company websites, and do I need to book in advance?
Yes, this can be arranged. Business portraits can be planned around your profession, brand and intended online or printed use. See our corporate headshot and business portrait service. Studio photography should be booked so the right amount of time and preparation can be reserved. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
