Ordering photos for our Chinese visas was such a breeze with Passport Photos Now. Bruce provides such an efficient service. He was prompt, responsive, and reliable. I have used the company before when I needed a photo for my Australian passport. I highly recommend them. Thanks, Bruce.

Excellent service! Bruce produced photos for us that uploaded right to the Visa website. He directed us in how to take a photo that he could use to conform to the needs of a Visa. He was very patient and guided us through the process! I highly recommend this service!

Mr. Bruce Hallstrom and his team were so very helpful, responsive, and efficient. He provides quick analysis, like indicating that the photo I originally provided was inadequate. Within a short time he provided passport-quality photos (prints and digital). I can’t recommend him enough!

Head Position :

The head of the person photographed should be neither at an angle nor turned (portrait style). Your head must be square to the camera; your face can not be slightly rotated and or tilted. Your face and eyes must be straight towards the camera so we can see an equal amount of each ear and cheek.
