Overpriced and no extra light at all. So at the end, keep second guessing if the photos will be accepted by the embassies because of how dark/​uneven they are. Nice staff, but they got to get proper light set up.

Needed specific sized photos for a visa. The ad says 10 pics for 22 dollars. It’s on the desk right as you walk in. I was charged $ 40 for 10. Then I thought maybe he charged an extra $ 18 because he had to cut them. When i got home and took a closer look, every single picture was a different size. What an awful job. I went to a different (legit) photography shop and they did a fantastic job and the color was so much better. I do not recommend this place at all.

Apparently men like this place. If you want a «pretty» photo, this is the wrong place to have it taken. The quality of the photo is definitely worth no more than 10 $. But the service was quick and friendly.

Very professional service. Knows the requirements for different passports and visas, so just tell him the purpose of the photographs. Cash only.

Had a terrible experience at CVS and Walgreens for my passport photos (I am very particular when someone takes my photo). Stumbled on this place and couldn’t have been happier. The gentleman behind the camera allowed me to change my photo 4x! He even fixed my hair to complement my face. Amazing experience, super fast, really nice and the reason I came there, best passport photo I ever took!

What a waste of my $ 10!!! I got to the post office & they told me the picture is not large enough or bright enough. I had to go & spend another $ 10 for 2 more pictures. I must say the quality of the photo was beautiful though. But go to 130 church ave to get your photos done. You can also make your copies of your ID there as well as the photo for $ 11

Quick, easy, friendly and cheap option for passport photos. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. At two photos for $ 10, it’s the best deal around.

Went to go get some passport photos, 2 for $ 10. I think this is the best picture anyone has ever taken of me, let alone one for a government issued ID. I never knew I looked so good. This is not a joke. I am 100% serious. Very friendly, no wait, in and out in 10 minutes. I even discussed the possibility of wedding photos since the passport photo came out so well.

Quick. Friendly. Quality. Great Price.
Can’t go wrong with this studio. They take photos and know the specifications of international passport photos.

Quality, courteous, and super fast service! They couldn’t be nicer, also. What a difference from the ridiculous «service» offered by CVS, and others like it… broken machines, nonexistent locations, unreliable hours, and staff who couldn’t care less. Go to AY to get it done right!

Great, efficient, professional service. Very no nonsense way of getting new passports taken. The owner gave me time to fix my hair in mirror and allowed me to preview the photos before printing. $ 10 for 2 passport photos.

I went here for Canadian passport photos. $ 18 for two photos, no tax. They knew Passport Canada’s extremely anal specifications by heart, were super quick and friendly, and took an uncharacteristically good ID photo. It’s in an office building on the fifth floor.

had a really easy, no-​hassle experience. Was in and out in like 10 mins — 6 photos for $ 15. The old lady who took the picture was very sweet and had a easy, relaxed demeanor.
Would definitely recommend this place. The best passport photo experience ever.

This place is worth the trip. You will be able to tell that the passport pictures Mr. Alan takes are of good quality, as opposed to pics taken at a pharmacy or neighborhood joint. Photos look professional — I should know as I work in a creative field. 2 pics for $ 9 dollars, quick, efficient and no fuss. CASH ONLY though. Bring money or pay $ 3 to withdraw downstairs at Chase. Beware — the trick of not checking in doesn’t really work anymore, there’s a really angry lady at the entrance.
Although I wish the lighting was a little better — I do recommend this place and I will go back when I need more. Didn’t make me look more beautiful… but I guess it’s not their fault ;)

Had a very pleasant experience. Got passport pictures done. Lady was patient and let me retake my picture. :) Told me I could look in the mirror if I wanted (she knows that these pictures last for years!). Great with direction too. Different prices but I chose this option: 6 pictures for $ 15 (not bad!). I believe 2 are for $ 9 or so. Would definitely recommend this place or go back there if I need to. Took about 10 minutes in total.
