What Students Often Ask Ondrej
What should I wear for my student headshot?
Choose clothing that reflects the type of work you're applying for. Solid colours and simple styles usually photograph well. If you're unsure, bring a couple of options and Ondrej can help you decide what works best on camera.
I've never had professional photos taken before. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Most students have little or no experience in front of a camera. Ondrej guides you through the entire session, from posing to expression, so you'll never be left wondering what to do.
Can I use my headshot for LinkedIn and job applications?
Yes. Your images can be used for LinkedIn, CVs, graduate applications, company biographies, university profiles, speaking engagements, and other professional uses.
How long does a student headshot session take?
Session length depends on the type of session you book, but there's always enough time to relax, try different expressions and outfits if needed, and create a selection of photographs you'll be happy to use.
Do you only photograph university students?
Not at all. Ondrej photographs university students, college students, recent graduates, interns, apprentices, and young professionals who are building their careers.
