Behind the Lens: PhotoAiD's Editorial Process
We want to simplify the process of obtaining biometric photos and ID documents for everyone.
About Us
PhotoAiD has been at the forefront of delivering engaging, authoritative, and trustworthy content since 2020. With a rich collection of over 250 articles spanning travel, passport photography, and beyond, our blog is a treasure trove of insights.
Our Experts
Our core team comprises five writers, an editor, and two graphic designers. Some of our wordsmiths are active members of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ)—the oldest organization representing journalists in the United States.
Our Editorial Process
In line with our dedication to transparency and accountability, we're pulling back the curtain on our nine-step editorial process.
Planning
Our team trawls through the latest news and trends to identify relevant topics for our readers. Once a topic is assigned to a writer, they deep-dive into the subject.
01
02
Research
We rely on authoritative sources, such as government sites and top-tier news outlets, to ensure each piece of content is credible.
Writing
Some of the topics we cover are complex and technical. For this reason, we use simple, clear, and concise language to ensure the reader is informed and engaged.
03
04
Peer review
Once the draft is complete, it goes through peer review. This process involves our writers reading each other's work and offering suggestions for improvement.
Editing
Our editors review the article for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style. They also check for factual accuracy and coherence. The piece may go back and forth between the writer and editor until it meets our quality standards.

06
Graphic design
We recognize that readers now skew more toward visual content. That's why our graphic designers create custom graphics to accompany our articles.
Publishing
When the article is complete, it's time to hit publish!

08
Quality check
Before we treat ourselves to a pat on the back, however, we also do a final sweep of the content to ensure everything looks and works as it should.
Regular Updates
We keep an eye on our articles and make updates when things change or new details emerge. This ensures our readers always have access to the most current and reliable information.
