Cadet Portraits for Yearbook and Personal Use
The Citadel Office of Visual Communications takes high-resolution official portraits of all currently enrolled cadets* for use in the yearbook. The portraits are available to cadets in electronic format. As part of this service, cadets are provided a copyright release that allows them unlimited use. They can use the photos for resumes and online profiles or greeting cards or even a poster. They can print as many copies as they want without incurring anything more than a printing fee from the printer of their choice.
*Because cadets who study abroad for a semester are not physically on campus and are unable to participate, they are not charged an ePortrait fee.
How ePortraits Work
- Beginning in August for three weeks, cadets may have their portraits taken during their scheduled company time. Session times are posted on the 24-hour schedule and are emailed to all cadets. Athletes who have conflicting commitments may schedule their portraits during other company times.
- Cadets check in on the third floor of Mark Clark Hall in the studio wearing their assigned class uniform and pose for the photographer.
- After post processing of the photos has taken place (usually mid-October), the portraits are loaded to the ePortrait Portal where cadets can download them using their credentials.
ePortrait Q&As
What’s the best finish to use for photos?
A matte finish will give the photo a professional quality finish.
Have the photos been touched up?
The photos have been color corrected, but image refinishing, such as blemish removal, has not been performed. Photo re-touching services, however, are available at most professional printers.
How long will photos be available?
Photos will be available as long as the cadet is currently enrolled at The Citadel.
