In possession of many deeply sentimental, old (some +80 years), damaged, analog photographs, for the longest time I struggled to find anyone (in NSW or interstate) that could adequately restore the photos to their former beauty. It was an extraordinarily important exercise to me personally, as it was a special means of honouring the memory of my late parents and grandparents, and all the results elsewhere fell well short of the quality I’d hoped for. Photoland was recommended to me by a Sydney street photographer, and I have been overwhelmed by the truly exceptional care, professionalism and skill that Darren, Vic and the broader team have demonstrated time and again, while advising, scanning, restoring and bringing new life to dozens of cherished photographs. For all your most treasured memories, I could not more highly recommend the Photoland team. My eternal thanks to Vic, Darren and all the team, for their truly exceptional work and wonderful empathy. I am forever grateful. Tony

$85 for Passport photos? Really, I mean; really?
$69.90 for the photos + $15.00 for Express Service as I needed them within the hour.
The Express charge I've no problem with but charging $70.00 for 2 prints + an email is outrageous.
Then again, those charges obviously aren't a problem for all the gushing 4 star reviewers* here.
Maybe they've been so desensitised to being ripped-off by living in Sydney they think that's acceptable?
*Yeup; must be that. No way they could be paid shills. . . . .

Darren guided me through the process and his recommendations really helped me achieve a great photo of my family. He even custom made the size I wanted. Very prompt to respond and great person to deal with. Highly recommended.

Got my Indian visa passport photos made in no time at all. They knew exactly what dimensions were needed.

There are a few cheaper options if you're willing to wait, but also a 15 min one if you need it in a pinch.

They even mailed a digital version which ended up being useful later in my application.

Ordered online - actual photos didn't crop anywhere near what I did online, and colours weren't natural. Wouldn't use it again, especially considering the price

I had my passport photo taken at Photoland, located in Elizabeth Street in Sydney and was very impressed with the service I received. They were friendly, helpful and very prompt. I was also very happy with the photo itself, which I easily uploaded with my online application. I highly recommend Photoland to anyone needing photos or frames. I am a very satisfied customer.

The team at Photoland did a superb job, taking meticulous care with our family photos. Very happy with the service provided right from the start. Staff are personable, warm and engaging - a welcome encounter these days. Time and care was taken to understand what I wanted, and the selection of photos for restoration came out even better than I had hoped for. Highly recommend their services and commend the friendly, professional staff for their hard work and genuine engagement. Diane

In the restoration of my old primary school class picture.
It was money well spent. The photograph is just outstandingly restored.
Cannot heap enough praise on the photoland team’s work.
Thanks to Vic and staff.

The team are all so lovely and I’ve used them in the past for US visas and Lithuanian passport photos. They are really quick to help with any issues and are really understanding. Thank you.

In Australia, needed a photo for my UK passport. These guys were very friendly and know EXACTLY what is needed to satisfy the UK government. They can even test in advance how well their photo will satisfy requirements. And my passport was granted straight away (in days!) with no problems at all. Highly recommended!

Vic at Photoland on Elizabeth St was fantastic. He was very helpful, understood what I wanted and was fast to respond. Excellent customer service. My frame & A0-sized photo print was made and dispatched within the timeframe Vic communicated. It was very well wrapped to protect its transit, and it was very sturdy for its size. I appreciated the note that was include with regards to care advice. The information was very useful and will prevent me from accidentally damaging the print when cleaning it. I would definitely go back to Vic again for my next large-format photo print & frame.

In fact, they are friendly, but the prices are very high. The cost for 14 small transaction images is $155. In my opinion, this is exploitation.

Thank you Vic and Darren for a perfect digital UK passport photo. It was accepted by the UK Home Office immediately and your service made my whole online passport renewal process a breeze! What an excellent service you provided!

Fantastic service! Quick (I’m talking sonic fast - got my prints in less than 15 mins), efficient, friendly and made sure what requirements were needed for the country I needed my passport photo taken for were right. Very impressed and 100% recommend. Bonus, they’re open early from 8AM for those that leave things last minute (like myself). Thank you Photoland team for making my unorganised morning to the consulate so smooth!

Really super in helping us get new passport photos for our baby daughter. Got them sent out by post super quickly. Efficient and personal service. Takes a bit of the stress out of things. Totally worth it.

In need of a passport photo to renew my U.S. passport, I ventured into Photoland and was not disappointed! In short, Darren and the Photoland team were great, and I will look no further for my photographing and framing needs in the future.

The process of renewing a passport in another country made me nervous but finding someone so qualified to take the photo eased my worries. I had my photos taken, printed and digitally delivered all in the span of a few hours – and all at a very reasonable price! Most importantly, I successfully renewed my US passport with the photo provided by Photoland.

Thanks again for your kind, prompt and easy service, Photoland!

I used Photoland to get a last minute framed photo printed for Christmas. I worked with Vic and he was very easy to work with. He also made sure my frame arrived in time. I’ll definitely be using Photoland again in the future, couldn’t recommend them more. Thanks again

Victor was warm, friendly, knowledgable, but most importantly to me, respected my work that needed to be framed. His experience and recommendations guided my decision making, whilst also taking into consideration my wishes. The team not only met, but exceeded my expectations. I will recommend and use Victor and the team again in the future. Very happy with the quality and also the respect and interest taken in my work by the whole team. True professionals.

Found this shop online in a hurry today and went in for a visa application photo, and they charged me $69.95 for 2 photos plus a digital copy sent by email. The guy then told me to come back in 3 to 4 hours for pick up, otherwise I can pay extra $12.95 for 15 minutes wait, or pay $6.95 for 30 minutes wait…. I was in a hurry, and paid $6.95 extra. I did get my photos after half an hour wait. However, later I walked past the Australian Post in Martin Place, and found that they only charged $24.95 to do the same thing. I was naturally very disappointed with Photoland.

Victor was very responsive and patient. He also gave good recommendations on how to get our print on canvas mounted on a wood frame. As i had absolutely no idea how things are done etc , his expertise helped make this job seamless! Thank you so much! To top it all, his prices are transparent and reasonable!read more

Wonderful experience. I first went into the store very tentatively, not sure if I ‘needed’ a custom made frame, however, having Victor’s consultative input on the different frame designs and customisable feature was so valuable. In the end Victor helped create a beautiful frame for my father in law’s memorial service sheets. As you can imagine, this was a sensitive thing to put in someone else’s hands but the team treated everything with such care and the finished product looks amazing.Thanks guys, would 100% recommend.read more

#aboveandbeyond Victor and the Photoland team produced the most fantastic framed photo gift for me to surprise my partner with. They combined the half marathon medal and number with a photo from the finish line - the end product far surpassed my expectations . Real customer service, great communication - no wonder they are the only photo framing place in the CBD. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thanks again Victor.read more

Victor and Photoland are the best people I deal with - incredibly friendly, professional and good value. It's always such a pleasure to visit them. They've done so many jobs for me personally and professionally and there's never been a single mistake. Absolutely wonderful service. Plus they are good at rushing things through last minute. They have never let me down. Best service and range you can get. They totally know what they are talking about when it comes to framing.read more
