I think OP was talking about professional portraits made by a photographer in a studio in a roughly hour long session. Photo shoots like that typically cost 100-200€ and the resulting portraits are not at all comparable to a 10€ passport photo.

Correct. I was indeed.

Although this particular round fell somewhere inbetween "passport mughots at Snappy Snaps" and a full "subject all dolled up" session. IIRC the photo session was about 20 minutes and a week later I paid (IIRC) 25€ for each processed photo I eventually wanted to buy. She burned the selected high-res JPEGs on a CD while I waited.

I'd be happy to pay £120 to £150 for a fresh set these days, assuming they'd serve me for a decade again.

[Funnily enough, we ended up going to her studio for our official wedding photos a couple of years later.]
