Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a headshot photo?

A headshot photo is often your first impression when featured on your social media profile or website. A headshot allows you to portray the version of yourself to prospective employers and can help you gain visibility in the job search process.

What should I wear for my headshot?

The most important part of a headshot is to be yourself! Consider your career goals when deciding how you want to dress for your headshot appointment. Think about what you might wear to a job interview or presentation. Keep it simple with solid colors. This is a headshot, so pants and shoes are generally not visible in the photo. You can also borrow a jacket from the Career Closet for your photo session. Jackets are gender and size inclusive.

What is the cost?

Headshots are free to the NYU community (Students, Alumni, Faculty & Staff).

Do I need to make an appointment?

The Photo Booth is a self-service first come first served concept. There is no need to make an appointment, you can stop by Wasserman Union Square during office hours and use the booth at any time.

NYU alumni who want to use the Photo Booth need to have an active netID and must sign-up for the event via Handshake at least one week in advance to gain access to the building.

Can I edit the photos?

Each session provides the opportunity to do some limited retouching. You can also edit your headshot(s) from your account after completing the session. Editing options include teeth whitening, blemish removal, skin softening, filters, etc. You will also have the option to retake one of your photos during the session if you would like.

How many photos do I get per session?

Each session includes 3 shots, but there is no limit to the amount of times that you can use the photo booth during the semester or year.

Disclaimer

PLEASE NOTE: By using the Wasserman headshot photo booth, NYU and Iris Booth have access to your email address and all photos taken.

The photo booth is a first come first served self-service concept, but Wasserman staff are always available to offer assistance as needed. If a student needs an accommodation for their headshots, they can contact career.development@nyu.edu to schedule an individualized session.
