Like you, we want to get the most out of each photography project. Great imagery can enhance the impact of the content we work with you to create.  Here are a couple of things to consider when requesting a photography project.

• What is your goal?
  • If your goal is to share the imagery from a photoshoot with the campus community and/or external audiences as content for the web, news media, professional publications or any number of social media audiences, then we want to work with you.
  • If your goal is to capture people and scenes from an event for internal purposes, we suggest using a good cell phone or checking out a loaner camera from the Velma K. Waters Library. We can help with a tutorial on how to get the best photos out of your cell phone or a loaner. 
• Lead time: We need at least two week's notice to fit your project into our schedule.

Turnaround time for photos can range from 1-2 weeks or longer depending on the length of the event and any post-production work that is required. For events that require more time, the images will be published in portions.

Any tips for taking photos with cell phones?

• Use the settings on our camera app to control the exposure (brightness or darkness) of the image and capture the details of your subject.
• If you want to share images, avoid texting them.  The quality will be better preserved if it’s emailed.  Be sure to choose the original size of the image.
• Cropping a photo reduces its quality. Instead, try getting closer to your subject at the event.
