I need about 50 passport photos taken ASAP in the GTA...prefer some place in east end that is CHEAP!!

Anyone know of a place that does not charge too much?? I had to get a pair taken yesterday and it was about 8bux at Blacks which isnt going to be affordable if I have to get it for another 25pairs.

Please tell me the place and price (approx if you know) so I can go either today (Sunday) or Monday evening.

That's a tough one. I've only gone to Shoppers Drug Mart (w/ Photo Centres) and Blacks.

50 passport pics is ALOT though! Wouldn't they question why you need so many (security reasons)? :confused:

yea, they are all for me...they are for different places/dept/state board etc for a position in the United States...I dont need that many actually, but just rounded up since I will need some more in the near future for other applications...

Its not about being official passport photos that I need...just that size (2x2)

You can fit six 2x2 photos in a 4x6 print, so make an image file with your mugshot pasted 6 times and get that printed at Futureshop or Loblaws or wherever 9 or 10 times. It should cost you less than $3.

How do you fit them in 4x6 rehan? Copy and paste. Use MS Paint or whatever photo tool you have available.

That's one 2x2 "photo" pasted six times on to make a 4x6 image. :)

Change the title to read passport size.
Do they have to state the pics are of you by a "photo studio"
If not - go with the suggestions of printing them yourself.
If not - Costco is $5.00 per pair.
Good Luck.

If the studio still uses the old polaroid cameras, taking a photo 25 times no fun.
