1. Call for an appointment
2. Do not wear a white shirt, blouse or jacket
3. Read all the instructions below

APPOINTMENTS - Appointments are suggested since we may be working outside when you drop by. If you do dropby and we are in the studio, we will be happy to make your photo without an appointment.

GETTING THE PHOTOS - In most cases they are ready in about 15 minutes. More time may be required if they are a special size or multiple sizes are required. If your photos are taken late in the day they may not be ready until the next morning that we are open.

HOW MANY PHOTOS - Greek passports will receive 4 color photos that are identical in size. All other countries will receive 2 color photos that are identical in size. Extra copies are available at a reduced cost

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR - Because a white background is required, it is strongly recommended that you do NOT wear a white blouse, shirt, or jacket. All other colors are acceptable.

FACIAL EXPRESSION - Open-mouthed smiles showing your teeth are not allowed in US and most other identification photos. The face must have a relaxed, neutral expression.

GLASSES - We strongly suggest that glasses not be worn when the photo is taken, because glare can cause rejection.

REJECTED PHOTOS - If we have taken the photo, chances are that it will not be rejected, as we make sure that they meet application standards. If they are rejected we will retake them at no charge.

YOUR APPEARANCE - Try to dress, comb your hair, trim beard, etc as you will when you are traveling. The closer you look to your photo, the less problems you will have.

We suggest you dress somewhat formally and conservatively, because the people who examine your passport tend to be pretty conservative. There are countries where dress that is too casual or revealing can get you into trouble, so make sure the passport photo - which you'll be using for the next 10 years - is somewhat conservative!
