The criteria (online at https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F10619) talk explicitly about photos. They also say it has to be taken by a professional or in a photo booth certified by the government. IANAL, but I wouldn't build on that defense.

> The likely effect of actions like these is that eventually the passport office will take the photographs
That is the case in Hungary, where I'm from. I was surprised by this the last time I had a passport made. It came out looking good, I was just upset that I had had photos made before because the rules weren't communicated clearly. Other than that, I see no drawbacks.
