ERAS PHOTO STUDY

Can a photo help me land the best RESIDENCY or fellowship?

Branding isn’t just for products—it works for people too. A modern, high-quality headshot can help convince a hospital or organization that you’re the perfect fit. You don’t need to look like a supermodel; with great lighting and the expertise of a seasoned photographer, your photo will showcase confidence and professionalism, giving you an edge over the competition.

Actual case studies

analyzed ERAS photographs submitted by residency applicants based on photograph characteristics related to composition, attire, facial expression, hairstyle, and accessories. Pubmed.gov  has analyzed ERAS photographs submitted by residency applicants, focusing on key characteristics such as composition, attire, facial expression, hairstyle, and accessories.

What was found

Candidates who chose a white background over grey gave their photos a clean, modern look that conveyed professionalism and polish. This style, first popularized by Apple commercials, has since been adopted by many of America’s largest and most trusted brands. Research also noted that students who smiled and wore jackets in their photos were more likely to match successfully. Interestingly, gender-specific characteristics were not found to influence match outcomes.

eras photo requirements 2022

Your photo should include your full shoulders  but they will still except it cropped like the example above. It's always better to have the photographer take a wider shot so you can crop it after to make sure you meet the taller height of the 3.5'" portion of the photo. Many students ask if it must be only forward facing like a passport photo and the answers is no, just make sure your dont do more than a 15 degree angle like all the photos on this page.


A photo file should not exceed these requirements:

  • Dimensions: 2.5 in. x 3.5 in.
  • Resolution: 150dpi
  • File Size: 100kb (Most photos will be 60-80kb)


Only photos with a lot of colors will be saved at the full 100kb. If you are wearing only 3 colors its perfectly normal to be 55-80kb in size. (Resolution will still be a full 150DPI)


Tips:

1)Bright lighting looks bests! it's always better to be a little over exposed than un exposed (darker) This will show way more face blemishes and have a muddy effect.


2) White background tends to have a more professional and modern feel. Grey was very popular in the 80s and 90s and can come across as dated.


3) Even if you take the photo yourself, Make sure you hire someone with Experience to properly compress your photo, Because this photo is so small and dimensions are not meant to be zoomed it's crucial to have a properly compressed so that it looks its best. 


Conclusion

Certain characteristics of an ERAS photo have been found to be associated with more favorable match outcomes. A flattering, professional photo can be a powerful tool to improve your odds and help you stand out from the crowd.

I was late to my appointment with Nick but fortunately he was still able to accommodate me kindly. I came in for an ERAS medical residency picture and he guided me with great detail (I don’t know anything about headshots so I appreciated it). He’s very professional and I could tell he puts in a lot of work to create a good business too. I’d recommend him to everyone!

I came to Nick to do my ERAS/Residency headshot and I couldn't have been more pleased! He was very professional and kind throughout the entire shoot. He stops in between multiple times to let you see the pictures and will help you to pick the best headshots for your needs. I was sent the photos from the shoot within 1 hour of leaving (actually on my drive home). His prices are very reasonable and I recommend him for anyone that needs headshots done.

Nick was amazing! He explained what was going to take place and executed the shoot. I needed professional head shots for my residency application and I was able to review them before leaving the studio and with the next hour my photos were available. He takes plenty of photos from different angles so you’re able to choose the one to your liking.

I was having my ERAS picture taken for medical residency. Nick was excellent! He was very thorough in the beginning and explained out each of the shots would work. He stopped multiple times throughout the shoot to let me look and decide what I liked and didn't like. I did not feel rushed for time at all and the pictures looked great! I highly recommend! He has the most affordable price!

Nick is amazing! I really did not like the previous headshot that I did and found Studio Redleaf after searching for a photographer that could do medical residency headshots. Being a broke med student, I really did not want to pay $300+, but Nick charges $125 for ERAS/VSAS photos. He is truly a professional. I never once felt rushed and he allowed me to take my time and fix my hair/makeup right before the shoot. What I liked most is how detail-oriented he is - from fixing my necklace to my shirt to even the tiny little stray hairs that were popping out. We tested around with different angles and different smiles and every so often, he'd let me look at the photos and choose which ones I liked and we tried to do a few more of those exact ones. In the end, I walked out with 70 photos to choose from, and he even asked me if I wanted to take more. He was super receptive to what I wanted, enthusiastic, and professional. He sends the photos within an hour, but if you check in on FB, he'll send you the pics within 10 min. I'm so happy with my new headshot and glad I came to studio redleaf!

After doing quite a bit of shopping around for a good photographer for residency photos, I finally decided on Studio Redleaf and I'm so happy that I did! Nick is an excellent photographer and really knows how to bring out the best look for your photo. His attention to detail and friendly nature made for a casual and enjoyable photo shoot. I am so happy with my photos, and best of all, they were sent to me within 30 minutes of my photo shoot! I highly recommend Studio Redleaf photography to anyone looking to take professional photos. You will not be disappointed!

I used Redleaf for residency headshots and it was a great experience. Very easy online booking, parking in the building, and the shoot itself was stress free. I was given clear, professional advice about how to pose and he adjusted his style throughout the session to fit my needs. Excellent experience. Highly recommend, especially for ERAS photographs.

I went to Studio Redleaf for my graduation and residency head shots. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! Nick is very professional, thorough and patient.  He made sure I parked in the proper location to avoid getting towed.  Nick guides you every step of the way never doubting whether you missed any angles. I felt natural being in front of a camera again. 

He ensures comfort and relaxation by letting you play a playlist on Alexa. Nick is also very fast.  My photos were waiting for me in my inbox when I got home.  He is affordable, reliable and provides a fun environment.  I raved about his work to my colleagues seeking head shots for their applications to the upcoming Match season. I highly recommend Studio Redleaf for any occasion.

HIGHLY recommend Nick at Studio Redleaf, he is a superb photographer with over 15 years experience who knows his profession well. He took wonderful professional photos that show my best side. He takes his time for light and clothing adjustments so you look perfect. Very easy to work with and absolutely worth it! I had the residency headshot package which is exactly what I needed, multiple photos with different angles and facial expressions, plus extras for the future. He even does touch ups on your favorite one. I was blew away with the great, fast service and quality of my photos. Pay a little extra than JC Penny or Walmart photo and LOVE your headshot!!

Just had a photo shoot with Nick! It was a great experience!

I ordered a medical residency headshot for $125 and more than happy with the results. My goal was to get a nice professional headshots as soon as possible for a nice price. I saw a lot of offers from other studios for $30 or $40 but after that I found that it is only for 1 retouched image. Nick sent me all photos in 20 minutes after the shooting. He also offering retouching of any image you want,  During the shooting he was very friendly, professional and I did not feel any anxiety.

Pros: Great and fairly price service, quick response, great variety of welcome drinks (sodas, coffee), free parking.

Cons: Was a bit difficult to find parking entrance due to wrong GPS location, but they were provided precise explanations with google maps links.
