Headshots
Users can book a 30 minute to 1 hour session for professional headshot in the studio with one of the Makerspace Technicians.
When booking the photography studio for the professional headshots, users can type their info on the request. Users won’t need to do any assessment of orientation, since they won’t be using the equipment and space themselves.
There will be 2 free headshots done for each session, and users can pick which photos they would like at the end.
