Professional Headshots

A good quality professional headshot is an investment in your personal brand. It not only creates a strong first impression but also conveys confidence and attention to detail.

Presenting a professional headshot on your LinkedIn profile or other social media leaves a positive impression on potential employers.

The UCC offers students the opportunity to get professional headshots taken for free through our photo sessions, held throughout the academic semester.

Photos are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • Solid colors work best. Solid colors tend to photograph better than busy patterns, so keep this in mind when picking your outfit!
  • Consider the background. Our backdrop is gray, so try to wear a color that contrasts well with gray.
