Australian Passport Photo Studio Tampa

You're an Australian citizen and your passport needs to be renewed. You're going to need a 35x45mm Australian passport photo that will pass muster with the Australian consulate. Why not follow the advice of the Australian consulate and go to their preferred photographer in the state of Florida? Newsome's Studio!

The reason Newsome's Studio is the preferred photographer in Florida, is because they invested in a high quality printer that conforms to the strict Australian passport photo requirements. Drug stores have been unable to meet the printing standards for the land down under, but Newsome's CAN!

Newsome's Studio of Photography is located in North Tampa (Carrollwood), at 10012 N. Dale Mabry Hwy, Suite 2019, Tampa, FL (Cypress Point Office Park). 

All photography is by appointment only, please call 813-968-2810 for a convenient time.

Australian Passport Photos in Tampa

Aussie Passport Photos

We experienced a surge in calls for Australian Passport Photos this week. It seems that the Australian Consulate in Washington, DC requires its citizens living in the US to apply for their passport renewal in person... in Washington! 

However, in an effort to lighten the load in their DC office, as well as make it a tad more convenient for their Australian citizens that are spread across the US, they periodically conduct passport renewal interviews in cities across the country. This week, among others, they did so in Miami Sept 22nd & 23rd. This prompted many Australians to jump at the chance of not having to travel all the way to Washington. 

And because Newsome's Studio of Photography is on the Australian consulate's "preferred photographer" list for the state of Florida, our phone went crazy this week!

The Australian passport photo requirements are among the most difficult to satisfy on the planet. Fortunately, we've managed to isolate the reason they reject so many passport photos from other sources, and have found the sweet spot to make them happy!

If it's time to update your Australian passport, call us at 813-968-2810 and set an appointment (it only takes ten minutes), and you'll leave with your perfect passport photos in hand.

Located at 10012 N. Dale Mabry Hwy in North Tampa.

By Appointment Only! See you soon!

Newsome's Studio has TWO Websites!

In today's world of advertising, the first place people look to find someone to fill their need is the Internet. They'll either use Google, Bing, Yahoo, Yelp, or any number of other search engines. Google is the most popular, and tries to match up their key search words with the most up-to-date information on the web. They serve up ten results at a time (page one).

A business's goal is to be found on page one. A SMART business's goal is to occupy more than one of those ten positions, increasing the likelihood that a potential client will click on their listing.

If you're looking for a passport photographer in the Tampa, St Pete area, you'll likely use the search terms "passport photographer, Tampa." If you're in need of a Canadian or UK passport photo, you're going to get more accurate results by adding "Canadian" or "UK" to your search term thread.

Newsome's Studio of Photography has been providing the Bay Area residents with high quality passport photos for years, and particularly those residents who are in need of passport photos for Canada, the UK, or ANY foreign country.

This blog is just one website that may come up in your search results, but we also have two complete studio websites and two more blogs that address passport photography, both foreign and domestic. Those two sites are www.newsomesstudio.com and www.newsomestudio.com. Feel free to check either site out and read up on why Newsome's Studio is the preferred photographer recommended by the Canadian consulate, the Greek consulate, the British consulate, and the Australian consulate.

Located in North Tampa (Carrollwood), we work by appointment only. Give us a call at 813-968-2810.

Professional Passport Photo Lighting

The Difference Hiring a Professional Makes

Occasionally someone calls about having a passport photo taken, and the first question they ask is "How much?" When I give them the price, most say "Sounds good" then proceeds to make an appointment. 

Once in a while someone responds with "Why do you charge more than the drug store or auto club does?" 

• Well, I don't sell toothpaste or auto insurance, where those two make their money. They virtually give away passport photos (in the auto club's case, make that literally), just to get you in the door, hoping you'll buy something else they're selling. I only sell photographs.
• They're going to use a low resolution, "point and shoot" consumer grade camera, and under "existing light conditions," create an image that is potentially out of focus, off color, and under exposed.
• I'm going to use a high resolution, professional grade camera, and using a professional lighting setup, create an image that is sharp, perfectly color corrected, and perfectly exposed. 

The best part is, the image I create is guaranteed to pass muster, and being that I'm on the "preferred photographer" list for the Canadian Consulate, the British Consulate, the Greek Consulate, and the Australian Consulate - four of the most difficult passport offices to screen your passport photos - you can trust that any US passport photo we create will be accepted.

This is the difference hiring a professional makes, and yet the cost difference is not really that much. 

Australian Passport Photos, Tampa

To obtain the correct size passport photos for an Australian passport in the Tampa area, you only need the name of one photographer... Newsome's Studio of Photography.

The correct size is 35mm x 45mm and the image resolution must be at least 450 ppi. Now, that sounds a lot like "blah blah by blah blah, and the image blah must be at least blah blah," AMIRITE? Well, don't worry, Newsome's has been deciphering the blah blahs for 30 years, and we have it down pat.

Australian Passport Photos, Tampa

Australian Passport Photographer, Central Florida

No, I'm not Australian, but I do drink Fosters occasionally (even though I've been told that it's just an American invented perception - much like Outback Steakhouse).

We do, however, create incredibly awesome passport photos for those needing to update or renew their Australian passports. And we don't just service the Tampa, St Petersburg area, we get Australians from all across the state. Why? Because we have a very good track record with the Australian Consulate in meeting the specifications and requirements for Australian passport photos (very strict!).
