Almost every photographer that hasn't specialised into a certain area does passport photos. They usually have a always-ready booth setup in their shop to take those kinds of photos. ID cards/passports are required to have and are valid for 10 years, so even in a small 1000-people town it can easily amount to about 1-2 passports a week (which usually costs around 10€-20€). If you cover any type of larger area that can easily cover most of your photography business costs.
- riffraff 6y agobut couldn't you take passport photos from the small automatic photo boots that are available in shopping malls or train/bus stations and such?

- m000 6y agoThere's a EU-wide standard for passport photos. Your head has to be properly aligned within a specific frame. You must not show any facial expression. The lighting must eliminate shadows and "shiny" spots. Regular automatic booths do not check for all those issues. Sure, you can probably create a booth that handles them, but then you will probably also start charging as much as the photographer. And its a one in 5 years affair, so why bother going to a booth?
