You can request photography services to cover an event or a milestone for the school. Photography assignments are prioritized by the overall impact and intended use of the photos.
This form must be submitted at least five working days in advance when requesting photography services from Marketing & Communications. Please note that completing this form does not guarantee the availability of a photographer. Because we are a small team, we must prioritize photography assignments based on the overall impact and intended usage. Photographing an event to specifically create content for marketing has a greater impact and intended use than photographing an event just to document the occasion.

We offer portraits for faculty and staff for use in school publications, on our website or in other professional publications.
In the event that your photography request is not able to be accommodated by Marketing and Communications, please use the following tips to capture and share coverage of your event.
Keep it simple. The best images are the ones that include one or two focal points.
Get in close! If you feel like your images aren’t ‘popping’, take a step or two closer to your subject. Fill the frame with the focus of your shot.The closer you are to the subject, the better you can see facial expressions and subtle details.
Leverage the light. Natural or artificial light really improves a photo. Consider how the light is interacting with the scene and capitalize on that.
Follow the 'Rule of Thirds.' Cut your frame into thirds by using both horizontal and vertical lines. Place your point of interest over the cross sections of the grid.
Check out this article for further details about using the rule of thirds.
Find different perspectives. Perspectives are more engaging when the photographer crouches down or elevates our position in reference to the image we're capturing. Changing your perspective can change the visual language of the image.
