Passport photo booth at airport?

Can anyone tell me if there is a photo booth at the airport? Or Cathy City?
Regards

Think there is a photo place on the street in cathay city that will take the pics for you. If not the photo place on the lowest floor of the outlet mall in Tung Chung by the supermarket will take them, got some there a couple of weeks ago. Not photo booths but end up with the same pics.

Thank you,
Did you have to wait long in Tung Chung? Can they do them on the spot? Can you remember the price?
Cheers

Was about a 30 min wait. Can't remember the price but was not too bad or would have gone elsewhere.

Your name leads me to believe that this may be a more useful one to go to.

Fotomax Online

One listed in DB plaza that does ID pics as does the one listed in CX city.

Yes.... T1 Check in level

There is a photo-booth that does passport photos for different sizes at the Airport. It's hidden beneath Grappa's at the Level 7 Check-in area to the left of the escalators that go up to the restaurants at Level 8.

Tung Chung MTR

There is a photo booth in the M.T.R. station, close to Watson's.

I recently took some passport photos through photobooth in Tung Chung MTR. They cost $40 for 4 photos. Be sure to bring a pair of scissors as the photos come out on a single photo paper!

Photomax in DB are fine - they even have different colour backgrounds depending on your requirements. The only problem is, the pictures are a bit brutal, and if not naturally photogenic like myself, can make you look like you should be holding a board with a number.

Or you can take a picture on your own digital camera and then go to Passport photos for free - ePassportPhoto.com

You crop the photo and it gives you a digital photo with 5 visa/passport photos for free.

It cost me HKD 1.60 to print out the 4x6 inch photo at the photo shop in CX City.

Thanks

Thanks for the help everyone. The Photo booth at the airport was the most convenient- there is even an option to select the photo format by passport country eg UK passport, US passport etc. Print out takes less than 30 seconds and costs 40 HK$. Fortunately I am rather handsome so I didn't need the photo shop option - I wish!
