Professional Portrait Booth opens in the Student Union
At the University of North Florida, there are plenty of reasons for everyone to smile. Now there’s one more reason, and this one could help students land their next internship or job.
This week, UNF introduced the much-anticipated Professional Portrait Booth in the John A. Delaney Student Union, located in the main lobby of Building 58E adjacent to the Osprey Involvement Center.
The self-service Iris® Booth provides high-quality headshots for students, faculty and staff. By entering their N number, users can have their photos emailed to them within minutes at no cost.
Student Union staff are excited for this new addition to the facility, emphasizing how great of a resource the booth will be for students seeking internships and job opportunities.
“A dedicated portrait booth on campus ensures equitable access to high-quality professional portraits for students,” said Director of Student Union Administration Jennifer Nutt.
Leadership within UNF Career Services recognize the portrait booth as a strategic asset in preparing students for the professional world, aligning with their efforts to foster career readiness through accessible, high-impact resources.
"A portrait booth on campus enhances the career development process for students,” said Vivian Senior, senior director of student engagement for UNF Career Services. "It transforms accessibility and gives every student the opportunity to display confidence, professional presence, and a personal brand that signals to prospective employers they are career ready."
Funded by Student Life Services and the Student Union Auxiliary, the booth is first-come, first-serve and will be accessible during normal Student Union business hours. Measuring 79” H x 42” W x 75” D, it is equipped with high-quality studio lighting and photography equipment, ensuring that every photo taken is of the highest standard. Users have the option to approve or retake photos, crop and touch up their images before finalizing them. The booth also offers a three or six-second countdown feature users can select before the photo is taken.
The Professional Portrait Booth is another example of UNF’s commitment to fostering a vibrant and supportive campus environment, ensuring that its students and employees have access to the tools they need to succeed.
