Is there somewhere in Putney where I can download a picture off my phone for a passport photo please! Thanks.

Snappy Snaps probably.

Just fyi (and I don't know if you are applying for an actual passport), but the new online passport application system allows you to upload a digital photograph, so there's no longer any need to have physical media.

Thanks John, didn't know that. Also Freddie, didn't realise Snappy Snaps was still there??!

I also recommend Snappy Snaps and use them for all passport photos.

Yes, I recommend Snappy Snaps. I used them for a photo for a US visa (couldn't use ESTA because of a trip to Iran)because the US online system rejected my photo from the booth in the Post Office. And it came out (marginally) more flatterng!

Beware that the cameras in mobile phones (the rear-facing ones particularly) are quite wide-angle, so they tend to magnify the middle of the picture and shrink the edges - ie it makes your nose bigger and your ears smaller!Best to get a friend to take a picture of you with the front-facing camera (usually better quality) from a medium distance, then zoom on and crop it as you need.Boots used to have machines in many of their branches that let you upload and print pictures

I have used Snappy Snaps and they are very good.

Sorry, will be too late for your purposes but I`m pretty sure that there was a photobooth hidden away upstairs in Putney Exchange last year. Haven`t been up there recently though.

I use Snappy Snaps all the time. Don't really like digital photos. Snappy snaps are one of the few places where you are still able to buy and have developed, film. Still love my Olympus camera.

Hi Elizabeth, I've been invited to make a trip to Iran and am mulling it over. I know that Brits have to go as part of an organised tour. But if I do so will it make future trips to the U.S.A. more difficult ? Would love your advice, thanks.!!

You can apply for a passport/renew your passport online and just upload your photo! Very simple, means you can take as many pictures as you want before you get the right one!

Snappy Snaps - are they still there? - would do it.If you do your passport online you could just upload your picture from your phone - if you have a smart phone.
