Can I wear glasses or contact lenses?
Glasses will need to be removed for the photograph. If you wear contact lenses, please tell us when booking so we can advise you before your visit.
How long should I allow?
The photography takes around 10–15 minutes per person. Allow around 30–45 minutes for a single-person visit, including time to choose your artwork. Please allow extra time for couples, families and groups.
