Hi guys,

If I need to get few passport size photos of me for some documentation so what should I say "I am going to get my passport size photos taken/clicked from the photographer" or (from the photographer)"I want to get my photographs taken" and if I want my photo taken or clicked(at the party or at tourist spot) what should I say.

"Clicked" is not the right verb. Photos are taken.

"I want my photo taken" is fine.

"I'm going to have some passport photos taken by the photographer."

If you want your photograph taken at a party or a tourist spot, say to somebody 'Will you take my photograph, please?'

Hint: In most major cities, it's wise to ask somebody whom you think you can outrun, or that might be the last you see of your camera.

... or if you take him with you, your camera will be safe.
