How to Take Passport Photos From a Canon T2i
According to the DIYPhotography website, a passport photo is a 5-by-5-centimeter photograph used on a person's passport and other documents where identification is required. Having passport photos done at a store can be expensive. If you have a professional SLR camera, such as the Canon T2i, you can easily make a set of pictures at home and have them printed.
