Passport & ID photos in Barcelona

A rejected document photo means going back, paying again and sometimes missing an appointment or a deadline. The problem is almost always the same: wrong background, wrong size, shadows, a smile or framing that doesn't meet the rule. Getting it right is a matter of specifications, not luck.

I work with the official measurements for each document and a controlled, uniform background, even shadow-free light and the exact framing each authority requires. Whether you're applying for the Spanish DNI or passport, a Schengen or other-country visa, or a US application, the photo comes out matched to that specific standard.

You're in central Barcelona, with no long trips: a quick shot, an on-screen check and you leave with the photo ready, in print and as a digital file.

We cover the most common specifications. For the Spanish DNI and passport, the official format is 32 × 26 mm, with a uniform light background, face front-on, neutral expression and no sunglasses or hat. For Schengen visas and most European procedures, the standard is 35 × 45 mm with a white or light-grey background and the face filling a specific proportion of the frame.

For United States applications — passport, visa, Green Card, DV Lottery — the format is the 2 × 2 inch (51 × 51 mm) square on a white background, with strict rules on head size and eye position. We also prepare photos for other countries' visas (UK, Canada, China, India, etc.) according to their specific rule.

If you're not sure which size you need, tell me and we check it together before shooting. The shot is matched to the rule from the start: background, light, framing, head and eye position, all to the document's specification.

The session takes a few minutes. We take several shots, check them together on screen to make sure they meet the rule — framing, background, expression — and pick the best. You don't leave with doubts: if something doesn't fit, we redo it on the spot.

Delivery is same-day. You take away printed copies in the official size you need, ready to submit, plus the digital file at the correct dimensions and resolution for online procedures or in case you need more copies later.

The price is fixed, from €25, and includes the shot, the edit to meet the specification, the print and the digital file. No surprises and no extra cost for checking until the photo is right.
