raj phadke

Matilde's is a photography business owned by Matilde Barbosa herself. I really liked the statement on her workstation which said "I am the Boss" Professional photographer who knows specification of any biometric photo you need. Highly recommended by consulate. She also has a catalog of photo specifications of all the biometric countries. Regarding the service She offered an Ontime affordable service. All the prices are clearly mentioned on a board in her workplace Most biometric photos with prints range between 20-30$ She even provides digital files for upload and you can get 2 additional copies for 7$ She is courteous, helpful and knows what she is doing. In some of the reviews it was mentioned that she gets angry. I would like to say that she loves her work and owns her work with confidence and that might look like an angry gesture She also has dried ink stamp required for biometric photos She uses high quality paper I will update the review after hearing back from the consulate. All the best for your next photoshoot at matilde's

Go here for US, foreign passport or visa photo. Mahtilde will take care with the photo requirements of US and consulate offices. She will also try to make a nice photo of you. Great service.

Jonali Ramani

Appreciate her help! It is little expensive!

Mihai Claudiu Toader

Quick and painless photo studio.

Yeat DaBun

The best passport photographer hands down, been going here for almost a decade.

Ulrike Klein

If you need biometric photos for any passport, she knows exactly what you need.

Stella Pantela

Quick and reliable service. Save yourself the frustration of going to CVS and go to a professional who knows what they are doing.

Michael Mirabile

Wonderful service and quality photography! I needed a U.S. Passport photo and very happy with my experience. Matilda is a true professional and I will be back for my LinkedIn photos!

Scarlett Wang

The best photo studio in the Boston ! Very professional! Ms.Matilde is an extremely responsible and skillful photographer! She is not only nice but also patient. She wants to provide the best service for her customers! If you want to take any passport photos, I highly recommend you to go this photo studio!!!

Mehrshad Zandigohar

As expected, I had a great experience with the service I received from Matilde. Matilde knows what she is doing and takes the perfect shot with just a single trial. Besides being a professional, she is a lovely person and I enjoyed interacting with her. I will never go to the CVS or Walgreens to take a picture ever again. Let's face it: the picture taken by a professional photographer is much more different than the one taken by a person who sits behind a counter at a drugstore and uses an old battery operated camera with no lighting! Please be advised that the location which the Google Maps takes you (using the directions button) is wrong! Use the location which is provided in the description (581 Boylston Street, Suite 707B, # 7072, Boston, MA 02116), or simply click on the location icon at the top of Matilde's website. It's right beside the CVS store, so don't go to the Public Alley 439!

Nabil Enayet

Very professional, knowledgeable and speefy

Melinda Braun

Tilly is very professional and her photography is great. Her work is very reasonably priced. Her time flexibility was appreciated.

Paul Amor

Like a lot of folks I needed a photo quickly and Matilde's was great. In and out in 5 mins. She knows all the required dimensions for government docs from many country so head over if you are in need of a photo. Thanks!!

Adeline Esther

Perfect every single time

Steven Lefavour

Skilled and talented photographer, fair rates, cozy and professional studio. I only went for a passport photo, but I'll have her do my new LinkedIn shot.

Anh Dinh

Matilde is a great photographer. She knows exactly which lighting and angles work well for you. And she makes the experience very pleasant for her clients. Highly recommended!

Kyle Vernest

Hours make it very difficult to get passport photos done. Tried twice to make an apt but only had times in the middle of the day.

Bhudev Sahu

Very quick service, did not have to be there for more than 10 mins to get our 2 sets of visa photos done.

Aandre Davis

The absolute best photographer in Boston

Jasper van der Hoek

I've been here 6 times for different visa and passport pictures every time I got fast and accurate results. She knows what's needed for most visa and passport pictures and quickly takes your picture and prints and cuts the picture in the required dimensions. The longest I've ever been there is 20 minutes but that was the exception. Her hours are limited but I've always send a txt message confirming her availability and never had issues finding a moment that worked for me.

Shan Ouyang

Great for passport photos and you get the digital copy (unlike CVS and the like)

Rosa Molina

The BEST of the BEST! Foreign governments are very particular about the size and quality of the photo. Matilde gets it PERFECT every time! For Canadian passport photos or Canadian citizenship photos my family and I always chose Matilde's!

Stuart Quan

Fast, efficient way to get a visa photo.

Wei Fan

Matilde has an absolutely professional photography skill and she’s very nice!

Joe M

Why choose Matilde? She is fast. She has experience with many foreign passport photo standards that differ from US passport photo standards. Her prices are excellent for the quality of service and product she provides. So, yeah, you could get your passport photos from some big corporation. But, if you go with Matilde, you get great service, excellent product and a chance to support a local business.

Ange R-K

(Translated) Totally recommended, very good service, friendly and of great quality, you can call and make an appointment or simply arrive, I called by phone a day in advance, leave a message from you and I received a return call in less than 2 hours. Upon arrival the attention was immediate and excellent! (Original) Totalmente recomendable, muy buena atención, amable y de gran calidad, pueden llamar y hacer cita o simplemente llegar, yo llamé por teléfono con un día de anticipación deje mensaje de vos y me recibí una llamada de vuelta en menos de 2 horas. Al llegar la atención fue inmediata y excelente!

Amrit MAHARJAN

The best in Boston.

Chiranjit Ghosh

Best photo studio in Boston for almost all categories of official photos. The lady is not only responsive but also has knowledge about various types of official photos. For baby, I must recommend here as she knows the right way how to capture it. Will visit second time when required.

Mirza “Miz” Causevic

Quick, pleasant and professional. Matilde knows her craft. Highly recommended!

Doug Lester

Very easy to set up an appointment if you want to. Matilde is great -- and the quality of her work is so much better than CVS. It's worth going to a professional. Prices are very reasonable.

Eduardo M. Gonzalez

Quick, efficient. Obviously knew what she was doing. Happy customers!

Marko Vukovic

Fast and competent

Suiyan Jacques

Can't wait to share this professional passport photo place! Matilde is very nice and professional! And she is also very knowledgeable about different countries' requirement for passport photos! I went there for Chinese passport photo, and she knew exactly every detail of the requirements! Made everything hassle free! Matilde also let me check the photo she took, and I'm very happy about it! I'd rather spend a little more for a great photo and great service than a cheap CVS photo. I need to share this place with all my friends!

S H

This owner has anger control problem. It's not worth my money, time and energy. I simply told her the reprints of the digital file she gave me were lack of resolution and she ranted at me dramatically. Apparently, I'm not the first to complain her attitude. I hope she can work on her anger control issue.

Tony Yee

My family and I always take our picture with Matilde. My daughter just had her passport picture taken today. She is fast, professional and does a great job. I highly recommend her.

E S

Had my and my hubby's ID photos done today at Matilde's photo studio. Very nice and professional approach to each client. Photos came out great! Will be definitely back to this place. Thank you, Matilde, for taking care of us!

Eric Porter

Very nice person

Jack Kerouac

Excellent. No one else in Boston is as comprehensive and knowledgeable about ID photos. The German consulate pointed a friend to Matilde and I took his cue in going there, though not before attempting to DIY it and thereby cost myself a bunch of money and weeks long delay in my application. Matilde knows the difference between the confusion array of photograph formats and sizes that correspond to different country's passport, visa, and citizenship photo requirements. Canada for example, has different size requirements for all three document ID photos. Matilde knew all of this without me having to provide the dimensions or the document explaining this. I made the mistake of trying to use CVS "passport" photos for my Canadian Citizenship Certificate application. The application was sent back to me for not meeting the very specific photo requirements detailed on the application. The photos that Matilde shot and presented me with went through without issue. I only wish I'd gone to her first and saved myself the trouble, delay, expense, and hassle of having to resubmit the application twice. The walls of her small studio are covered with the dizzying array of different country specific photos she is capable of producing. I am going back to her for my Canadian passport photos and have no doubt I'll be in and out in short order. Far, far better than the counter idiots at CVS and well worth the cost. Just make sure you call ahead and confirm a time or you may find a locked door. Apparently it's Matilde or nothing as she is the sole proprietor and lone employee. Still, I'm not going anywhere else in future.

Alucard

Second time here. Best quality in town.

Eric Brownhill

Quick, inexpensive, and excellent attention to detail. Mathilde does photos for every type of passport or visa application and knows the requirements for each. Much, much better than the photo kiosks at local pharmacies, definitely worth the time to come here instead.

George Viglakis

Fast and brisk

Casey Andrews

I went here for my passport photo and it was not only incorrect and rejected but it was also rushed and the ink was horribly smudged.

Sam Mohyee

Not the easiest to reach, on the 7th floor behind a locked door, right next to the CVS entrance (which also does passport photos for a few bucks less). But she's local, and a small business, and she does photos for a bunch of different countries, not just US passport photos.

Shahdeep Kaur

Matilde is very professional, and well versed with the visa, PR and PP requirements of different countries. I went to her with my 2 year old daughter for the digital pictures, she clicked and mailed the pictures within a few minutes. Recently, when I needed the hard copies of those photographs, she mailed me the printed copies even when her office was closed due to Covid situation. I really appreciate her gesture and willingness to go out of her way to help.

Humphrey Gardner

Matilde is extremely efficient and almost comically terse. Great job every time.

Boston Maps

She's knows exactly what to do and does it well.

Gus Fantanas

Fast, courteous, professional, with attention to detail.

Brian Dubois

I had photos for a foreign passport done here. She knew exactly what was required. I was in and out very quickly.

Carolina Romano

She's fast - I'll give her that, but that's because she doesn't care about the quality of service she's providing or if you're happy with the picture or not, one shot, print go. I would go to CVS before I came back here.

Thomas Essery

Fast, friendly and accurate. Knows how to take Canadian passport photos. Always worth the drive.

Phil Troke

It was perfect. Fast, friendly and professional. Thanks.

george papadopoulos

Great customer service. Very quick to help.

O L

(Translated) Very good. (Original) Πολύ καλό.

Ann

I am very glad I went to Matilde for my passport photo. The quality is much, much better than CVS and it’s basically the same price. She was very friendly and professional, let me prepare for the photo, and had me approve the photo before she printed it. The first photo she took looked beautiful!

Amanpreet Kaur

She is phenomenal!! Less words and quality work. She knows her work.. Do not call, else you will have a different impression(she is extremely busy). Visit her website and it says all. We went for passport photograph for Canada PR and she knew it all. We called so many photographers, CVS, Costco, wall greens, Fedex and none of them were ready for passport pictures for Canada PR and finally we found Matilde's, her prices are fair enough for her work.

Robert Lucchesi

Matilde is professional, no nonsense, knows her business.

Max M

Matilde is an absolute expert on every type of official photo you could possibly need (she has a big wall of all of the international and domestic formats that she offers). On short notice, I needed to get a photo taken in the official Canadian passport format. This is uncommon in the US so you can't just go anywhere to get it done. The Canadian Consulate had Matilde on their list of recommendations so I figured to give her a call. It was exactly the right choice. I was able to come in to the studio the next morning, she knew exactly what I needed, and the price was very reasonable. She also wore a mask and was respectful of COVID protocol. I highly recommend her.

Afraa Alsamkari

Fastest worst experience ever!

K Smith

Very accommodating. Usually takes passport photos and was kind enough to do family pictures. Very thorough with her work. Can't wait to see the final prints
