Photo and Video Requests
Our visual media producers are core members of the Institute Communications Brand Marketing team — capturing bespoke brand imagery tailored for official Institute and President-level materials and digital communications directly related to promotion of the Institute’s overarching mission and message strategy.
The imagery created by our digital media producers must have a shelf life here at the Institute, with coverage decisions correlated to the useful life of imagery as part of NetX, our Institute’s digital asset management database.
Imagery we create and events we support should have a wide external audience, enhance the Institute’s public reputation, and support marketing/communications activities for the Institute.
Generally, the support we provide is in marketing and communications efforts driven by:
Imagery for large-scale Institution marketing campaigns
Editorial and media coverage led by Institute Communications, or a member of the Executive Leadership Team (President, Provost, EVPs)
“Slice of life” imagery of students participating in unique or interactive classroom/campus life/lab/internship environments
Headshot photography of Institute leadership and representatives for websites, media coverage, or publications
Campus environmental imagery including buildings, landscape, etc. • Documentation of events that are historically significant to the Institute
Official Institute-level, high-attendance events
NOTE: For accepted projects, there is no charge to a department for these services.
Services we typically cannot provide coverage of, but can recommend freelance producers, include:
Departmental assignments or award ceremonies (these include, but are not limited to: guest speakers, dinners, awards, orientations, luncheons, receptions, non-cabinet retirements)
Conferences, symposiums, or other similar events
Orientations, retreats, or team meetings
Student headshots
Group photos
Imagery for department use only (all images capture by our team will be made available for any campus member to use)
For photos that don’t meet the above criteria, Institute Communications can provide guidance on alternatives. Many events and photo needs can been adequately captured on smartphones or personal cameras.
Headshots
Headshot portraits are currently not offered due to construction in the Rich Computer Center. We hope to offer headshots again early summer.
