Passport-sized Photo

[amychukityi]

My 1.5 mos girl need to take some passport-sized photo for applying the nursery. As you know it's so difficult to ask a troddler to sit down properly & look at the photographer.

Can anyone recommend me some shops that can take nice passport-sized photo for troddlers e.g. those use digital camera and allow us to take several images until a nice image has been come up.

Hi Amy,

If you have a digital camera you can take your own at home. That's what we did. I took a number of close-ups, picked a couple of favorites, put them on a disk and asked one of the Kodak places on Stanley Street to print them - passport size. Actually the pic below is what we ended up selecting.

Even the photo in his passport was taken at home. ;-)

Thx for your prompt reply but I don't have any digital camera. Apart from taking the photos at home, do you have any recommendations on the photo shops?

Have a read through this thread. The Photostore in IFC seems to be a favourite

I had both my children's passport photo taken (at 2 weeks old and 1 month old respectively) at Fotomax at Pacific Place (next to Dan Ryans). They used digital and took many until I was happy with one.

Any Fotomax can do it. And they will take a few until it's satisfactory and then photoshop it for you too. They will need your help to hold baby upright, if baby is very young, and then they crop out your hands etc../ I just had passport pics done for my one month old.

Cindee, apparently not all Fotomax does it. I tried Fotomax at Queensway and was told to go to the one at Pacific Place instead.

china travels

I ended up taking my photos for our 1.5 month old at the IFC photo shop because it seemed easy to get to and read about it on this forum. But recently my husband had to get his photos taken and he went to the China Travel Services where they took it and gave it to him on the spot for less than $100. He said that they also do babies and children as well and that they have special beds and seats for them and they take it from the top. I would have gone there had I known. When the IFC shop cropped my son's picture it looks like someone had chewed on his ear where he was being supported!(lol...)

They charged you more than HK$100 at IFC??? My 4 months old son just took some passport sized photos in the Kodak shop on Robinson Road and was charged HK$60 for a dozen. I thought that was expensive enough, although I must say that the photos came out really well. All that the photographer did was to put two carton boxes on a high stool in front of the colour backdrop, asked me to place my son on top of the boxes and held him from the front while I knelt down...and bingo..she took several shots, and I chose the best one. That's all there is to it.
