Photo service FAQs for Wimbledon customers
Is it possible to take compliant UK passport photographs, and do I normally need an appointment?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. We prepare the photograph for the relevant UK application route and can supply the required printed or digital result. See our UK passport photo service. 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 provide photo gift vouchers or printed photo gifts, and how is the voucher or finished gift supplied?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Gift choices depend on whether you want a studio experience, photographs or another printed item. Start with our studio photography gift vouchers. Supply and collection depend on the selected voucher or product, and we confirm this when ordering. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to photograph babies and young children for passport applications, and will you confirm the price before taking the photograph?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Baby photographs need patience as well as the correct background, pose and dimensions for the application. Our baby passport photo page explains how we help. 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 print photographs directly from a phone or camera, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. Use the highest-quality original image rather than a screenshot or social-media copy. Our photo printing guide explains the main print and enlargement choices. 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 supply digital passport photographs for online applications, and what application details should I bring?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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. Bring the application instructions, country, document type and application route when available. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop produce enlargements and poster-size photo prints, and how do I choose the most suitable size and finish?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. 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.
Is it possible to photograph professional actors’ headshots, and how are the selected photographs supplied?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Actors’ headshots should look natural, current and suitable for casting use. We discuss clothing and intended roles before your actors’ headshot session. The selected photographs and any included retouching are supplied according to the booked package. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
