Photo service FAQs for South Bank customers
Can your Highgate shop process or scan APS Advantix film, and will you confirm the service price first?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. APS cartridges can require different handling depending on whether the film is exposed, developed or still inside the cartridge. Our APS Advantix service page explains the options. The film type, number of rolls and selected processing, scans or prints are confirmed before charging. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to apply AI enhancement to scanned cine film, and what if the recording is damaged or unlabelled?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. AI enhancement is an optional stage for suitable 8mm, 9.5mm and 16mm scans, intended to improve viewing while respecting the original footage. Read about AI cine enhancement. Do not attempt playback if a cassette is mouldy, broken or jammed; describe the condition before bringing it in. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop take compliant UK passport photographs, and what application details should I bring?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. Bring the application instructions, country, document type and application route when available. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to provide photo gift vouchers or printed photo gifts, and do I need to order in advance?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Gift choices depend on whether you want a studio experience, photographs or another printed item. Start with our studio photography gift vouchers. Ordering ahead is sensible for a deadline or personalised item, even when a standard option is available. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop photograph babies and young children for passport applications, and can you supply the required printed or digital result?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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 supply the printed dimensions or digital format required for the selected application route. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team print photographs directly from a phone or camera, and will you confirm the price before printing?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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 will confirm the selected size, quantity, finish and price before printing. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop supply digital passport photographs for online applications, and how quickly is the finished photograph normally ready?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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 standard photographs are prepared promptly, while unusual digital or international routes may need extra checks. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
