[Job-Discussions] Professional headshot

[Jennifer Wenzel]

Good Morning Kelsey,
In my experience, having a photo taken for a professional headshot is a much less stressful experience then for a state ID. Whether it is someone from your company or a professional brought in for this purpose, they will likely be much more patient and skilled than those who take Id pics. I have the same issue and talked to the person who was taking mine and he was ale to get a nice shot. I had the same concern for my wedding pictures, and a conversation with our photographer resulted in him taking some great shots. I hope it turns out great. Communication always goes a long way towards resolving issues. A good headshot is also useful for things like LinkedIn, just make sure your company is OK with you using it if they are doing this specifically for internal use.

Hello,
My employer would like everyone to have a professional headshot for their own internal use. However, I do not have control over my eye movements and cannot look at the camera; this also results in The picture coming out with eyes closed, so getting my state ID picture taken at the BMV is a stressful experience because the staff don’t care; they will make me redo the picture until it’s right, but they cannot expect me to change something I have no control over. Therefore, would it be within reason to communicate to them that I do not have control over eye movements and that it is better if they bring the camera to my face instead of havto look at it and that my eyes may be closed?
