Professional Passport and Visa Photography - Biometrically Checked

Passport and Visa photos fall into the category of a ��necessary evil’ for most people.  They are never going to be your favourite photo of yourself, particularly since such strict biometric standards were introduced, but you need to be sure they have it the right first time. Booths are one option although they can certainly be problematic if you are looking for pictures of a baby or small child or anything other than a non-standard UK passport image.   Biometric system requirements can be very specific in terms of head placements, skin percentages and background requirements.  We operate a worldwide standard software that is kept updated with the latest international requirements and automatically checks each photo as it is placed into the relevant country’s template to ensure that it meets all standards and will be accepted by the authorities.  We have never had a photograph rejected from a passport or visa application through using this system. Many passports and visa photos specifications now are dictated by the demands of biometric systems which means that the requirements can be very specific in terms of head placements, skin percentages and background requirements.  We operate a worldwide standard software that is kept updated with the latest international requirements and automatically checks each photo as it is placed into the relevant country’s template to ensure that it meets all standards and will be accepted by the authorities.  We have never had a photograph rejected from a passport or visa application through using this system. Whilst we are beholden to these standards and it is actually against the law for us to interfere with the photo to enhance it in any way.  Photographers that offer an airbrushing service for passport and visa images are breaking the law, but the lighting is more gentle than that which is used in the booths and so you will likely see an aesthetic improvement there. Plus, there is the comfort factor of waiting on our comfortable sofa in the studio for the few minutes it takes to process and print your photographs – much nicer than loitering by a machine in a supermarket! We can offer pictures for a great deal of countries although not every country in the world – you can check the list of those Visa photographs that we can provide here. This software is constantly updated and will provide us with a pass / fail flag to ensure that your picture meets the relevant standards. Studio photography for your passport and visa needs means that you can rely on your photographs being accepted by the relevant authorities so that your paperwork can be processed without additional cost and delay. #biometricphotos #crawley #crawleydown #eastgrinstead #passportphotographerwestsussex #passportphotos #visaphotorequirements #visaphotos

Passport Visa and ID Photos in Crawley Down, West Sussex

VisualChaos studios offer a professional passport, ID and visa photography service from our studio in Crawley Down. Whether you need a photograph that isn’t offered by the standard passport booth, if you need a photograph of a baby or young child or just want something a little more flattering than the booths have to offer, then we can offer you a solution. Many passport and visa photos specifications now are dictated by the demands of biometric systems which means that the requirements can be very specific in terms of head placements, skin percentages and background requirements.  We operate an worldwide standard software that is kept updated with the latest international requirements and automatically checks each photo as it is placed into the relevant country’s template to ensure that it meets all standards and will be accepted by the authorities.  We have never had a photograph rejected from a passport or visa application through using this system. Unfortunately, as I’ve said above, we have to take photos according to strict requirements and so we can’t guarantee that it will be the most flattering picture of you or that you will love it but the lighting is more gentle than that which is used in the booths so you will see an improvement there.  Also, if you’ve ever tried to take a picture of a small child in a passport booth, you will know that it is almost impossible to get it right on the first try as no part of you is allowed to be in the photograph with your child so it’s a lot easier to do it in a comfortable studio environment where you don’t have to hold your baby through a curtain or sitting on the floor of a booth! It’s not legal for us to change or airbrush your photos in any way so unfortunately that’s not a service that we can offer – photographers that do are breaking the law but we can make you look truly fabulous in a portrait session of course so book in for one of those if you want to look at your photos and love them. We can however, make sure your passport / visa photo is accepted with your application on the first try, saving you time and money in a sometimes long and drawn out application process. #biometricphotos #crawley #crawleydown #eastgrinstead #passportphotographerwestsussex #passportphotos #visaphotorequirements #visaphotos
