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.
