Studio Pod sits in the career center, runs unattended, and lets every student walk up and capture a LinkedIn-ready headshot in five minutes - no appointment, no photographer, no charge to the student. Already in use at major universities and Career Services teams across the country.
Career Services teams say the same thing year after year: students who need LinkedIn-ready headshots vastly outnumber the photographer days the office can fund. The result:
A photographer booked for two days serves 200 students. The other 19,800 on campus that semester get nothing, or they pay $200 at a private studio they can't afford.
First-generation students, transfer students, and students on financial aid most need the professional polish a real headshot provides - and they're the same students who can least afford to pay for one privately.
Business school career centers fund headshot days. Liberal arts career centers don't. Students from different colleges within the same university show up to job interviews looking like they went to different schools.
Install an S1 or S3 Studio Pod in your career center. It runs unattended every business day. Students walk up, sign in with their SSO credential, capture a 15-frame session, and get their LinkedIn-ready headshot before they leave. No photographer, no fee, no booking.
Many career centers pay nothing - corporate sponsors underwrite the pod through the Studio Pod Partner Program in exchange for branded sessions and recruiting visibility. If you'd rather buy the pod outright, S1 starts at $16,950 and S3 at $33,000. Annual service runs $6,000/year.
Sign-in via university SSO. The session walks them through 15 frames, retouches, and emails the final to the address on file (typically their university email). Sessions take 5 minutes; the pod is open every business day during career-center hours.
A photographer day serves the students who can get to it on the right day. Studio Pod serves every student on every day. The pod also produces consistent output across every subject - same lighting, same backdrop, same crop - which a rotating photographer roster can't.
Yes. Backdrop color, intro screen, email template, and gallery layout all customize to your university branding. Many career centers also add sponsor branding (the underwriting corporate recruiter) as a secondary brand layer.
Yes. Students retain full rights to every photo. Studio Pod stores photos for retake access during the academic year but doesn't claim ownership, doesn't sell data, and won't share images with third parties without student consent.
API access ships standard. Photos auto-route to Handshake, LinkedIn Learning, alumni directory systems, and most campus CRMs. SSO supports SAML / Okta / Azure AD / Google Workspace.
