yea, it is expensive to make pp photo here. I did by myself. took a digital camera 5MP is better but 3MP also works. and took couple of photo graphs on white background. If you know photoshop better than u don't even need white background u can change it in photoshop. Friend of mine did that work for me. and i took my memory card to wallmart. and printed there. Ahen you go to wallmart do by yourself on those machine ..select ID picture and choose 6photographs on one sheet. It cost you about 28cents for 6pp size pictures. 4.6 cents per picture .. way cheap..... i did that for my passport. It works!!!
