How to get a free headshot at the library

Update: Headshots will no longer be a service that the Marriott Library provides. Please contact Tony Sams at Digital Learning Technologies for more info about their headshot program.

Need a headshot for your next acting gig? Maybe you just want to update your profile picture? Tony Sams, the DLT Learning Experience Manager, has a weekly drop-in event called “Headshot Wednesdays”.

Every Wednesday, Sams will be in the Video Studio in the Faculty Center on Level 1 from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM with his camera at the ready to take your photo for free. “Headshots are always needed and can cost upwards of 500 dollars,” explains Tony Sams. “These sessions are a way to expose users to our media studios and services, while providing them a valuable opportunity for free.”

The headshot photo session typically lasts around fifteen minutes and do not require an appointment beforehand. Afterwards, the digital full-size files will be emailed directly to the user for printing.


Have any questions about either of these weekly events?
Contact Tony Sams at tony.sams@utah.edu

Tony Sams, the DLT Learning Experience Manager, is available for headshots every Wednesday.

      Hello!
      The photos can be used for passports. The photos are shot against a white background. However, you will need to crop them per the passport requirements. (USA and Canada have a different crop requirement).
      Thank you!

    Hi! I am hoping to do an event where we can get professional headshots done for grad students in the health research campus (20 South 2030 East).
    Would you be able to schedule a day this year that we can do that? Or is there someone else I can contact about this? Thanks!
