High resolution passport photo

cathodrays

I need a passport photo for a job application but they specified that it has to be taken as a high res JPEG. Are there any photographer in Dublin that can do this?

Why not use your phone / tablet against a white background? You’ll save money and get the hi-res shot you’re happy with. (You'll want to look your best for a job ap.) Plenty of free apps available for passport photos but camera should do the job ok too. You can decide which one you're happy with & edit skintone etc. Avoid use of flash if possible.

Most phones can do that now. Even relatively cheap ones. Just get someone to take your pic against a suitable background. I did this for an actual passport renewal. The passport website has the nitty gritty for passport applications photos.

OP, did you take a selfie with your mobile phone? The front-facing camera typically has fewer pixels than the one at the rear. This is deliberate, so that when you're on a Zoom or Facetime call, you won't be sending huge images over the network in real time. Ask a friend to take your photo against a plain background using the rear camera, that will probably fix the problem.

You didn't tell us if you did submit a photo and the company rejected it. Or, are you just assuming that a mobile phone can't take a high res photo?

In fact, 'high res' doesn't mean anything, they need to specify the minimum resolution (in megapixels, or the length and width in pixels) they're looking for. And virtually every modern mobile phone should be well able to fulfill their requirements.
