Boston, MA - May 29, 2025 - In response to the growing number of federal employees impacted by workforce reductions this year, Boston-area headshot photographer Barry Braunstein is offering free professional LinkedIn headshots to help those affected make a strong first impression as they re-enter the job market.
The complimentary headshot is available to any federal employee laid off in 2025. Proof of federal employment such as a paystub or a termination email/letter is required. The 30-minute sessions will take place at Barry Braunstein Photography’s Wellesley studio and are offered by appointment only.
“I recently heard an interview with the author Michael Lewis on his new book Who Is Government?: The Untold Story of Public Service. I was moved by the stories about the work federal employees do. Often overlooked and underpaid, these people chose to serve our country for a career and my heart goes out to those who lost their jobs, especially when it’s out of their control,” said Braunstein. “A great headshot can help someone stand out during their job search, and I wanted to do something tangible to support federal workers during this challenging time.”
Each session includes tips and recommendations for clothing/hair/makeup, a brief consultation prior to the start of the session, a professional studio portrait session, and one retouched digital image ideal for LinkedIn and other professional platforms. There is no cost or obligation.
“I also have a number of LinkedIn resources to offer—workshops, books, etc.--that can help people create/refine their LinkedIn profile,” said Braunstein.
