Photographs for an Indian Visa

Tuesday, 1st Feb 2011

Are you going to India?  Well the most difficult part of your trip could be getting a photograph for your visa.

Recent changes mean that you can no longer use a standard British Passport Photograph for this purpose.  The new photo requirements when applying for an Indian Visa are for a photograph two inches square with very specific measurements from chin to the top of the head and distance from the bottom of the photo to the eyes.

Luckily there are still one or two photographic studios around who can meet this need.  Here at BeautyPhoto.com we produce all our passport, visa and I.D. photographs by hand and can meet the specific requirements of any UK or foreign travel documents.

Spicer Hallfield in Administration

Friday, 10th Apr 2009

So Spicer Hallfield have gone into administration - now why does that not surprise me?

And it’s no good blaming the recession. I could see it coming twelve months ago last Focus when they went all arty-farty.  They seemed to have lost touch with both reality and in what the rank and file of photographers need and want.

Products that we all knew and loved became delisted overnight, to be replaced by a huge range of oddly sized/shaped/coloured folders albums and accessories. Read the rest of this entry »
