The Brown School communications team provides staff and faculty headshots as an asset. Photos may be used for university and department websites, in marketing materials, for faculty profiles, and for media relations.
Photo shoots will be held on Tuesdays from 9am to 11am except for holidays and breaks. Shoots will be in various locations including Brown School Library and in Hillman Hall.
Photos will take up to 20 minutes. Please arrive 5 minutes early.

Sample Photos
For best results
Very generally, please dress in more neutral colors. Steer clear of bold designs, prominent brand names or graphics, sleeveless outfits, and fabrics that are excessively sheer, low-cut, or wrinkle easily. Consider bringing an additional jacket, cardigan, scarf, or jewelry for added variety. A compact mirror will be available for your convenience, and we appreciate your effort to manage any necessary hair and makeup adjustments.
We may take up to 50 photos. However, the first few photos are test shots to get optimal lighting. After that, we will take photos that convey different expressions and positions. Some photos will be landscape (horizontal) and portrait (vertical). Afterwards, the photographer may take 2–3 weeks to do basic photo editing, such as color correction, cropping, and retouching to enhance the best five images. We will let you know when these photos are ready for review and we will ask you which photo you prefer for a headshot. After that, we will upload your photos to staff and faculty bios (if we have access). We will also provide you with a link to your photos to download as needed.
