Try ANY photo shop.... seriously, they are everywhere!
Just walk around the downtown area a bit and you're sure to come across one..
Make sure when you ask for a passport photo that you tell them what size you need exactly.. For example: Korean passport-sized photos are smaller than Canadian ones.. |

| And be prepared for a result that looks nothing like you... When i had mine taken, I had three days worth of beard stubble and a dark suntan. Got the photo back to find that I was clean shaven .... and very very white... |

Yeah, that amazed me when I had mine done.
Went in with no make up and bags under my eyes, came out a pale faced beauty! |

Yes, its an easy way to get passport photos. A lot of subway stations have them. If it doesn't accept coins, you need to get a token from the nearest newspaper stand. |

I don't know about American passports, but they are not acceptable for Canadian passports. |

Many subway stations have instant photo booths that will produce better results than your average Korean "studios".
Better quality, and you don't have to wait a day or more to pick them up. |

Thanks for all the replies.
I got mine done at a photo shop and they airbrushed it for sure. It looks quite funny actually.... and slightly creepy. |

| I love the airbrushed photos. Best passport photo I've ever had! There's nothing worst than having a zit live on in your passport for the next five years. |
