Portrait Studio Hours Change

Due to a change in staff schedule, the college’s portrait studio will shift its hours beginning next week. The studio, which is accessible through the Printshop, Room G159B, will be open to walk-ins:

  • Every Wednesday between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
  • Every Thursday between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.

You can also arrange a portrait session outside of these hours by contacting Ryan Herman, public relations assistant.

Either way, it’s easy. Here are some FAQs about the process.

  • Who will take my picture?
    Either Ryan Herman or Sarah Gerass, the college’s public relations assistants will be on the other side of the camera.
  • Where is the studio?
    It’s accessible through the Printshop, Room G159B.
  • How long will this take?
    It will probably about 15 minutes to shoot your portrait. Processing time—creating a final image—will depend on the PR office’s workload.
  • Do I have to dress up or wear branded SUNY Niagara clothing?
    That’s up to you. However, please avoid wearing a top that: is mostly white or mostly black, has a tight pattern, or is made of reflective or glittery cloth.
  • Who gets my photo?
    The college will have access to your photo file and you can too. However, the college typically does not make or use prints.
  • Do I have to say: “cheeeeeeeese”?
    This is optional.
