Passport Sampler

At Child's Play we understand that getting someone to photograph you and the people nearest to you can be something of a gamble.

We also understand that getting a passport photograph to the ever-more exact standards required by the UK Passport Service can be surprisingly difficult, too.

Our solution to both problems is the Passport Sampler.

A very brief photo session (typically less than 10 minutes) consisting entirely of head-and-shoulders shots and then 7 individual images on a 6" x 4" photo postcard, printed while-you-wait - typically within a further 15 minutes.

Let us know before we start if the photos are required for UK government passports and we'll get great pictures that meet all the rules:

• off-white background
• no reflections on spectacles
• regulation head size and eye position
• professionally printed

Of course for a passport you only need two photographs, which leaves space for five more. You can't help but laugh when you're trying to keep a straight face for a passport and we can't help but photograph it.

Don't need a passport? Just get 7 small headshots, giggle on all of them, we don't mind. Want a copy for your Grandma? Just ask.

And the charge?

Nothing.

Why wouldn't we charge?

Simple, this is a way to give you our details on a piece of paper you might well keep. And it's a great way of you being able to meet our photographer and see if you feel comfortable trusting him with your nearest and dearest. After all, if he can get good results in just ten minutes, imagine what he can do with a full session?
