    What should I wear to my photo session?

    The appropriate attire can vary depending on the type of session you're booking. We recommend discussing clothing and styling options with your photographer when you book the session to ensure you're prepared.

    How long does a typical photo session last?

    The duration of a session can vary depending on the type and scope of the shoot. Most portrait sessions last between 1 to 2 hours, while event photography may span several hours or an entire day.

    Can an IMG applicant in Nepal get an ERAS photo prepared by a photographer?

    Yes. A photographer can create and technically prepare the photograph, but AAMC states that ECFMG is responsible for uploading the photo into ERAS for IMG residency applicants.

    What are the current ERAS photo requirements?

    For the 2027 residency application season, AAMC currently lists JPG/JPEG or PNG format, a maximum file size of 150 KB, a centered face, and documentation specifying 2.5 × 3.5 inches at 150 dpi. Applicants should verify the latest AAMC/ECFMG instructions before submission.

    Where can I get an ERAS photo in Nepal?

    Photo Studio Service provides professional ERAS photo photography and preparation in Nepal.

    What is an ERAS photo?

    An ERAS photo is the photograph submitted as part of a residency application through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).

    Can you make an ERAS photo from my existing photograph?

    Yes, provided the original photograph has sufficient quality and an appropriate composition. We can crop, resize, optimize and prepare a suitable file where technically possible.

    Should I wear a white coat for ERAS photo?

    A white coat is not necessary simply because you are a doctor. For a professional residency application portrait, we generally recommend formal professional clothing unless a particular program or institution gives you different instructions.

    Can I Use an AI-Generated ERAS Headshot?

    We recommend using a real professional photograph rather than an AI-generated replacement of your face. AI can be useful for photography workflows such as background cleanup, technical assistance and image preparation. However, your application photograph should accurately represent how you actually look. For a residency application, authenticity matters. Our approach is: Real person. Real photograph. Professional lighting. Natural retouching. Accurate representation. We can use modern editing technology where appropriate, but we don't transform your face into a different person.

    Is ERAS Photo a Passport Photo ?

    ERAS Photo vs Passport Photo These are not necessarily the same type of photograph. A passport photograph is primarily an identity document photograph and follows government-specific rules. An ERAS photograph is part of a residency application and is primarily used by programs to identify applicants, particularly around interviews. That's why we recommend having your ERAS photograph created specifically for its intended purpose rather than simply reusing an old passport photograph.

    Should You Smile (teeth shown) in an ERAS Photo?

    A natural smile is generally appropriate. The goal is to appear confident, approachable and professional, not overly serious or artificially posed. We guide you toward an expression that looks natural both at normal viewing size and when your photograph appears as a smaller image in an application interface.

    What Should I Wear for an ERAS Photo?

    Your ERAS photograph represents you as a medical professional. Recommended for men:- Dark navy, charcoal or black suit Formal collared shirt Conservative tie Clean, professional grooming Simple accessories Recommended for women:- Professional blazer or formal jacket Blouse or professional top Neutral or conservative colors Simple jewelry Neat, professional hairstyle

    What should you avoid in ERAS Photo?

    Avoid: Casual T-shirts Sportswear Very bright colors Distracting patterns Excessive jewelry Heavy filters Artificial-looking skin smoothing Dramatic fashion photography Selfies Group photographs Cropped photographs from social media
