We all know that with the new regulations, getting your passport photo taken and ensuring it is fit for purpose is not straightforward. However some people fall at the first hurdle – and occasionally in the most entertaining ways\u2026<\/p>\n
In 2015 an amused granddaughter shared her grandad\u2019s passport photo disaster<\/strong><\/a> to Twitter. The unfortunate gentleman, clearly preoccupied with the list of dos and don\u2019ts that he will have studied ahead of entering the photo booth, managed to press the wrong button. The resulting pictures had decorated his balding head with an assortment of fake cartoon wigs. It soon turned out that he was not alone. Several other grandchildren shared the results of their own grandparent\u2019s efforts – all were modelling a series of cartoon additions to their heads and faces.<\/p>\n Tip: Lots of booths have a \u2018fun\u2019 option which will decorate your photograph with various animations and cartoon features. Double check which button you\u2019re pressing.<\/p>\n Also in 2015, another Twitter commentator shared the results of her own grandad\u2019s expedition to the photo booth. On this occasion, he had somehow managed to select the \u2018fun frame\u2019 option, and the resulting picture had him chummily sat alongside famous comedy icon, Ali G. Much to the contributor\u2019s amusement, her grandad was convinced that he had somehow received someone else\u2019s photographs as he had absolutely no idea who Ali G was\u2026<\/p>\n Tip: see previous. Check the buttons carefully!<\/p>\n At the other end of the age spectrum, in 2012 one Canadian internet blogger posted a magnificent passport photograph of his five month old son looking, well, a little worse for wear. The picture captured the baby with one eye closed, the other barely open and drool on his drooping jaw. The youngster was soon edited into various memes and photographs indicating he had been partying hard, much to the delight of members of the online community.<\/p>\n Tip: Be prepared to take several pictures to get the shot you want. Ideally go after baby has completely finished napping!<\/p>\n We all know that with the new regulations, getting your passport photo taken and ensuring it is fit for purpose is not straightforward.
