Canada and UK Visa or Passport Photos 45mm x 35mm
After looking all over Los Angeles to find a legitimate business that could take a 45mm x 35mm I finally found out about Bison Photo through craigslist.org’s community talk channel. They have plenty of parking, only specialize in photography and processing photos, and have their visa or passport booth set up when you walk in the door. They are on Bison Ave so it is very easy to remember. There is plenty of free parking and there are other restaurants and businesses that share the business park area.
Warning Garbage US Passport Photos
I had been to all types of places to find a metric photo including professionals like Timothy Brendan, Hans Ku, and normal stores like Costco, and Walmart. Many of them could do a normal US passport photo but none of them could complete a passport photo or a visa photo for the UK or Canada. One guy said he could in Santa Monica and even had an ad up on the web but he was just set up in the back of a mini-mart and the photo sizing was not even close. The expression was wrong and the background was not off white enough.
Send Photo or Visit Bison Photo
You can either send them the photo to be processed or come in directly for photo processing. I suggest going directly there because there are background requirements for the UK including the cream or gray background depending on the type of photo that is needed. I also brought an application on my iPhone that shows millimeters so I measured the photos exactly when they came out. They were pretty exact and the photographer even gave me an additional one because one of them may have been a millimeter off. Regardless, it worked and I have my visa with a great photo from Bison Photo. Thanks!
