Specific requirements:

clear, sharp and in focus
taken with a neutral facial expression (eyes open and clearly visible, mouth closed, no smiling)
taken with uniform lighting and not show shadows, glare or flash reflections
taken straight on, with face and shoulders centred and squared to the camera (i.e. the photographs must show the full front view of the person’s head and shoulders, showing full face centred in the middle of the photograph)
taken in front of a plain white background with a clear difference between the person’s face and the background. Photographs must reflect/ represent natural skin tones

*The back of one (1) photograph must:

Obviously London is a big city so maybe share which part of London . Should not be that difficult to find a photographer who can take photos for immigration purposes to meet any country size requirement.

There are photo booths around a lot in Post Offices, supermarkets, shopping centres, train stations etc. It is self service, it prints out 6 passport sized photos for you. They look like this.

Hi,
thanks for your recommendation. I know about these booths. Unfortunately they don't print the digital photo with "date, company name, time etc" requirements as specified by IRCC

Hi,
Do you live in London?
Otherwise you'd know it isn't that big a city. I didn't specify location because I don't mind travelling across the city to get the photos taken anywhere, as long as the meet the requirements.

On your document checklist does it ask for that? I don't think it is required, I don't remember it saying that for me.

You can mention these details at the back of the photo using a pen or a marker. It does not need to be printed.

Are you submitting the photo with the eAPR (PR application) or for the COPR?
