I have visited Photo Synthese a few times for passport and visa photos as well as the same for the baby. What is remarkable about this place, which was recommended to me by a colleague, is that the photographer is familiar with the photo requirements for all sorts of foreign visas and passports. He has seen it all, whether it be a Canadian citizenship application (which he knew had different requirements than a Canadian passport application), an American visa for a French person, or a French work visa for a Canadian person. It is definitely reassuring to know that your application is less likely to be rejected because your photographer knows what he is doing! It is probably a little more expensive (definitely many more times expensive than the photomaton booth) but is worth the piece of mind. read more
