[Job-Discussions] Professional headshot

[Justin Williams]

You could hire a photographer, that might be better.

 

Or, Speak to your employer, running it through your supervisor and make the ADA accommodation request for what you need.  Just explain it to them and find out what they would want you to do.

Kelsey, I suggest that you make an ADA request for an exception for whatever you need including having your eyes closed or looking away in the photo.  It is a valid request for a recognized disability.  Staff rarely cares but we do!

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?
