Photo service FAQs for Charlton customers
Can I ask your team to photograph babies and young children for passport applications, and what happens if the application rules have changed?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. 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. If official guidance has changed, we use the latest applicable requirements rather than an outdated sample. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to print photographs directly from a phone or camera, and how do I choose the most suitable size and finish?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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. We can compare practical size, crop, border and finish choices before you decide. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to supply digital passport photographs for online applications, and do I normally need an appointment?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. 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. Most passport and ID photographs are handled without an appointment, subject to current opening arrangements. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to produce enlargements and poster-size photo prints, and can several files or sizes share one order?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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. Several clearly named files and print sizes can normally be included in the same order. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to photograph professional actors’ headshots, and will you confirm the session price before booking?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Actors’ headshots should look natural, current and suitable for casting use. We discuss clothing and intended roles before your actors’ headshot session. We confirm the chosen package, optional extras and booking price in advance. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to turn a favourite photograph into a canvas print, and how can I avoid losing image quality?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Canvas works best from a clear, high-resolution image with enough space near the edges for wrapping. View our canvas printing options before ordering. Use the original image rather than a screenshot, messaging-app copy or social-media download. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to take graduation portraits for individuals and families, and what should I bring to the session?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Graduation sessions can include individual portraits and photographs with family or friends. Clothing and available gown choices are covered on our graduation photography page. Bring suitable clothing and any meaningful props, and tell us how the photographs will be used. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
