Living as an expat away from your native homeland makes for an interesting time when you need to renew your passport or credentials. Guys like Robert make the experience a little less stressful. He guarantees that the pictures he takes will meet the requirements for your respective country’s passport photo requirements. I watched him carefully measure and cut my photos and showed me the measurements, comparing them to the requirements needed. I made my appointment, walked out in less than an hour with pictures, and am confident that I may ahve paid more, but I got a quality product that wont be rejected - what’s it worth to you to have peace of mind that the work has been completed well on the first try and you’re not at risk of getting your application rejected for something silly like incorrect chin to crown head measurements?
I am sure there are lots of inexpensive places one can go to get passport photos done, but most of the cost effective places ($10, $20?) are badly lit, and created based on US passport regulations which may (or likely may not) meet the requirements for your country’s passport photo requirements.
Getting your pictures done at places like Walgreens is indeed an option, don’t let me mislead you, but you get what you pay for; bad, overhead, fluorescent lighting, no finesse, it’s just a minimum wage order taker daydreaming about what would have happened if they’d made different life choices You get what you pay for - I’d rather pay a bit more for accuracy, artistry, peace of mind, not to mention I’d really prefer not to look like I’m using a mugshot as a passport photo.
You can go cheap, and if you need photos on a budget, Robert Berger is not the right guy for you. If you want crisp, clear, attractive, well lit, perfectly measured and cut, guaranteed accurate passport photos...give him a call.

Read moreCanadian Passport photo: I needed a passport-size photo to renew my son's Canadian Passport. The size and specs differ for Canadian Passport photos as the photographer has to stamp the shop's name and date it behind the photo. I contacted many photographers, and they don't do it. Some photographers gave a vague option, which won't work at all. One of the UPS stores in Eldridge Parkway, Houston, said they would do it (Photo: $20, Stamping by Mr.Habib for $50; he asked for a tip also), and the photo was rejected due to poor photo quality and error in stamping. (My loss was $70 + another shipping charge of $30 for the correct photo).
The only option left was to get a good professional photographer who knew about this. I googled and found Mr. Robert Berger's 'Portraits of Character.' I called and talked to him, set up an appointment, and everything worked well. Mr Robert is very professional, has a good studio, knows Canadian passport photo rules and requirements, and has fulfilled them. He is friendly and very accommodating to our needs. He has tons of experience in photography, and that's what matters to become a good photographer. I appreciate his service and knowledge and guarantee that he does the work well without rejection. He also takes photos of different events and occasions. I'm happy that I found him. I highly...
Read moreRobert did an absolutely amazing job photographing my head shots for the new year. When I met him to discuss studio offerings, I knew instantly he was my guy! His energy was awesome and he had so many creative takes on the typical head shots/ studio portraits, which I loved. From the very beginning, he answered all of my questions (there were a lot!) and was so patient with me.
He was always super responsive to both emails and voicemails. The days leading up to my studio shoot he made sure to check in and see if there were any last minute things I needed, and to confirm all the necessary details. He was prompt showing up on to our appointment and returning agreed edits. He did an awesome job capturing everything I asked him to, and all in between!
I had a blast doing all different pictures with him...he is really creative and comes up with things you would never think of, and it's so exciting knowing our pictures will be so unique and reflective of my personality.
Another great thing about Robert is his upkeep of new technology and lighting. All the photos I've seen thus far are incredible, and my friends & family keep saying how it's the studio photography they've ever seen. I have already booked 3 new modeling jobs with my headshots, looking forward to new opportunities because of...
