IRIS Professional Headshot Booth

Whether you’re applying for an internship, a graduate program, or a post-grad job, you’re going to need a great headshot: for LinkedIn, your Zoom or Teams thumbnail, or Heels Engage

Don’t rely on a selfie or worry about the cost of hiring a photographer. We‘ve got you covered!

UNC Career Center has two Iris professional headshot booths on campus. No appointments necessary.

  • Hanes Hall 2nd floor Resource Room (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)
  • Health Sciences Library 1st floor by Columbia St. entrance (during Library hours)

Tips for getting a great headshot:

  1. Choose attire that you would wear to meet a potential employer in-person. Solid colors and subtle patterns are best. 
  2. Avoid a plain white/cream shirt, to avoid blending into the background.
  3. Keep accessories simple and non-distracting.
  4. Keep your style true to your personal brand!
  5. Relax and take your time. You can review three photos at once and use the booth’s easy editing tools. Retake your photo if you need.
