Between your LinkedIn, internship applications, grad school applications and graduation season, there are about five moments in college where a good headshot quietly matters. Renting a photographer for each one is not realistic on a student budget.
Portraze is the student answer: studio-quality photos from your phone at a price that does not require parental sponsorship.
Starter $19 · 6 photos · Professional $39 for 12
Try Portraze nowUpload 10-20 photos. Results usually arrive within hours.
Recruiters and admissions committees see your photo before your resume. A sharp, neutral headshot with you in clean business casual signals you already understand professional presentation.
For LinkedIn specifically, a current professional photo measurably increases profile views and recruiter messages. Skip the group shot crop from welcome week — it signals the opposite.
Grad season generates two photo needs: the formal cap-and-gown portrait and the "first job" headshot you will use for the next two years. One Portraze session can cover both by shooting in the right clothing and picking formal plus casual styles.
Cap and gown photograph best on a neutral or white background with the gown fitted properly — and yes, iron the gown. Wrinkles are the number one fix we make that photographers should have caught on set.
A single starter pack is less than most students spend on one textbook — and it covers LinkedIn, applications and grad photos for years.
Yes. Good window light, plain background, 10-20 shots of your face from slightly different angles — that is all the model needs.
