Abstract
Career and professional development is a core part of pursuing higher education and the Career & Internship Center strives to provide a wide range of services and resources to meet the needs of all UW students. Profile photos on platforms such as LinkedIn and Handshake are a crucial part of online profiles as they offer a glimpse into learning more about candidates, however, access to professional headshots for these profiles is limited for many young professionals, including University of Washington students. While student groups and campus partners can hire a photographer to host professional headshot events for students, these events have limited availability and constrain students' choice and ability to see, edit, and receive their photos. As such, providing an accessible and user-friendly headshot photo service for students is important as it furthers student engagement and confidence in career development. We believe the Iris Air Booth is the best product to meet students' professional headshot needs. The Iris Air Booth is a portable, free standing, photo booth specializing in taking professional headshots. This booth features wrap-around LED lighting, professional quality camera equipment, a large touch screen monitor, a proprietary user interface and app, custom filters, posing tips, and delivers JPEG files (approx. 3 MGS.) electronically via email to users.
