British Passport Photos, Tampa

Let's see, you're a British subject living in the Tampa Bay area and you need to update your UK passport. You go to the drug store and they sell you a 2x2 inch photo. You send it in with your paperwork and it gets rejected - why? because the image is does not conform to your government's measurement standards. The United Kingdom, like everywhere else on the planet (except the US and Liberia) are all on the metric system. Your image is supposed to be 35x45mm, not 2x2 inch.

What do you do? You go to the Internet and you Google "British passport photos, Tampa" and you find this nifty little blog post by Newsome's Studio of Photography. You call and make an appointment, and in less than 10 minutes, you'll leave with two razor sharp, perfectly lit, 35x45mm images on a light gray background, with a head size of precisely 32mm, that are guaranteed to pass the discriminating eye of a Royal Bureaucrat with a reject stamp.

Passport Photos, Foreign Passports, Tampa

Newsome's Studio of Photography is Tampa's most experienced provider of foreign passport photos. The entire planet, with the exception of the US and Liberia, is now on the metric system. That means their images are measured in millimeters, not inches. If you're a citizen of a foreign country and you need to update your passport, you cannot go to the drug store for a your passport photo - you MUST go to a professional photography studio who can provide your images, customized to your country's specifications.

US Passport Photographer, Tampa,

Yes, you can go to the drug store to get your US Passport photo updated. Yes, it’s very inexpensive and you don’t need an appointment. Yes, they will use a low resolution, consumer grade, point and shoot camera, under fluorescent lighting conditions (explaining the green tint on your face), against a window shade (that’s going to be gray instead of white). Yes, it has a good chance of being slightly blurry, because no flash was used to freeze the exposure, and yes, it has a chance of getting rejected by the US Passport Office for not conforming to their stated quality standards. But hey, you got toothpaste while you were there, right? Good for you.

Yes, you can come to Newsome’s Studio of Photography for your US Passport photo. Yes, it’s a little more expensive than a drug store and an appointment is highly recommended. Yes, we will use a very high resolution, professional grade camera, and a professional three light with a reflector flash system (explaining the perfect color on your face), against a pure white background (avoiding shadows because of the additional background light). Yes, it is guaranteed to be razor sharp, because that’s how we roll, and yes, it has a 100% chance of being accepted by the US Passport Office, not only conforming to their stated quality standards, but totally blowing them away. But hey, I didn’t sell you any toothpaste, but then again, I’m not a drug store pretending to be a photography studio.

Newsome’s Studio. Where people go to have professional photographs taken. Not buy toothpaste.

DV Lottery, E-Visa, Photographer, Tampa

Greek Passport Photos, Tampa

My good friends at the Greek Consulate here in Tampa have been wonderful. My son attended St John Greek Orthodox Day School from K3-8th grade, so I've had a good connection to the Greek community for over 20 years.

The Greek Passport photo is a unique size. While many European passport photos call for 35x45mm, and the Canadian passport photo are 50x70mm, the Greek passport photos fall in between at 40x60mm. This is not something that can be obtained at a drug store, you must go to a professional photography studio who can customize your images for you.

Newsome's Studio of Photography, located in North Tampa at 10012 N. Dale Mabry Hwy, Suite 219 (Cypress Point Office Park in Carrollwood), can provide you with high quality passport photos, guaranteed to make the Greek Consulate smile when they see them.
