Sure you can’t use a flash.  Why not use a photo booth ,I’ve never had any picture rejected using photo booth.

1: Remove Your Glassess (If they can't see your Eyes - Rejected)

2: Face front (Not at an Angle or 3/4 Face - Rejected)

3:  Choose a Contrasting Background. 

4:  Choose the right Sized Photo, with good Contrast.

 

Crown Post Offices will advise you!

Its all on line these days, just do it yourself with a slightly better photo. I thought they may reject mine as there was a bit of shadow on the wall at the side of me and the photo wasn't particularly bright. If the light is bright  I screw my face up.  

 

My previous passport was accepted with me wearing glasses, I can't see properly without them on and tend to squint. I have contact lenses now so had my photo done on my new one without glasses on.

 

I had been using my previous electronic passport  (where I'm wearing glasses) while wearing my glasses in the electronic passport readers you look at so they can cope with them.
