Not sure, but can anyone suggest a good background colour for taking passport style of photos. I take pics of students (hundreds) and they wear a white collared shirt and sometimes maroon colour of the college uniform. They receive a wallet size card with their pic on it - which by the way most students don't like.

Is white the best background for passport style photos - i would buy the appropriate coloured material to put on a pinup board as the background.

Thanks for any tips or hints.
