What the image needs to do
The strongest medical application headshots usually feel calm, direct, and easy to read. Clean lighting, a centered face, and a neutral background help the image stay useful in small thumbnails and formal systems.

Application-Focused Sessions
Clean, current, and built for medical applications
When the image needs to feel professional without looking stiff, the session can stay simple. PhotoTale Studio plans medical residency headshots around expression, posture, clean backgrounds, and the practical crop needs that come with ERAS and VSLO or VSAS use.
These sessions work well for medical students, residents, fellows, faculty, and physicians who need one reliable image for applications now and broader professional use later. If you need both a strict application crop and a more flexible LinkedIn or faculty-profile image, that can be planned into the same session.
The goal is a headshot that reads as prepared, approachable, and current at thumbnail size while still holding up for websites, badges, hospital profiles, and academic pages.
What to wear
Simple professional clothing tends to work best. Bring wardrobe that feels polished and conservative, photographs cleanly, and keeps attention on your face rather than on patterns, logos, or props.
Delivery and crop planning
Current AAMC guidance lists JPG, JPEG, or PNG files, a 150 KB maximum file size, a 2.5 by 3.5 inch image at 150 dpi, and a centered face. Requirements can change, so verify the current MyERAS photo guidance before upload.

Plan Your Session
A clear next step, with your timing in mind
Ask about a date before paying if you need to work around a deadline.
How is my appointment confirmed?
You can suggest up to three preferred dates and times, plus notes, during checkout. These are requests; Lucian contacts you to confirm the appointment personally. If you need to confirm availability first, send a session inquiry before purchasing.
Are Saturday sessions available?
Saturday request times are 10 AM, 11 AM, 2 PM, 3 PM. Sessions are by appointment, and your selected time still needs confirmation.
How do I choose my final images?
Studio sessions include a curated proof gallery. You choose the number of final images included in your package, and those selections are retouched for delivery. Additional retouched final images may be added after delivery for $65 each when available. Studio proof galleries are for image selection only. On-location portrait packages include the listed number of fully retouched final images; unretouched images are not released.
What should I bring and wear?
Choose clothing for how you will use the images, and bring any background, crop, or submission requirements. Start with the headshot wardrobe guide and session preparation guide.
