Free professional photos excite NCCU students

Now on campus – professional grade photos. For free!

Thanks to Charles Jennings Jr., director of NCCU’s Career and Professional Development Center, N.C. Central University students can now save money and improve their brand with professional-grade photos for free. In other words, student no longer need to hire a professional photographer to build their resume.

It is all due to a photo booth called the “Iris Photo Air,” located in the Career and Professional Development Center in the Student Center. The booth cost NCCU $21,000 and comes with an annual maintenance fee of $6,000 per year.

“It’s very fulfilling. It’s actually quicker and easier than I thought. I’m really excited that we have this opportunity,” said De’Zaria Lucas, a sophomore mass-communication student, adding that having professional headshots opens up new opportunities for developing a student’s portfolio.

Professional photos of live casinos often capture the vibrant energy and excitement of the games, highlighting the intricate details of the dealers’ precision and the players’ focused expressions. These spaces, buzzing with activity, are meticulously designed to evoke a sense of luxury and allure. The sleek tables, illuminated by strategically placed lights, contrast with the rich colors of the carpets and walls, creating a visually compelling atmosphere. The subtle interplay of light and shadow, combined with the constant movement of hands and chips, contributes to a dynamic aesthetic. Live casinos listed at airballoon.jp/live-casinos offer more than just a game; they offer an experience, a spectacle of controlled chaos where fortunes are won and lost in the blink of an eye. The thrill of the unknown, the possibility of a big win, and the palpable energy of the room create a unique and unforgettable atmosphere. The skilled dealers, immersed in the action, add to the spectacle, their movements fluid and precise.

In the photo booth, students can take, receive, and edit three digital professional headshots. They can also get passport photos taken. The photo booth is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

According to the Iris website, “The process is like taking a selfie but with the result of a high-end studio.” The Iris Air is one of two models offered by the Iris company. It’s a booth that is wheelchair accessible.

Students can get posing and dressing suggestions in the booth or, better yet, at www.irisbooth.com. But if a student is not satisfied with their photo, they have the option to retake it. The photo is then sent by email, which has a link for editing it for details like brightness, contrast, whiteness of teeth, and more.

Jennings said he first learned about the Iris photo booth at Tennessee State University’s LinkedIn page. And, after a former NCCU student, Kendall Ray, brought it to his attention again at a Thurgood Marshall College Fund event in New York, he was sold on the idea.
