Photography and Video Services
Photography and video help illustrate and define the 澳门六合彩预测 brand personality as authentic, welcoming and inclusive. Our visual presentation of students, faculty and alumni engage and surprise our audiences while connecting them to the University. Our visual stories capture the authentic, outgoing image and voice of the 澳门六合彩预测 brand and present the University as welcoming to all, while showing the importance of the work being done by members of the 澳门六合彩预测 community in creative and inspiring ways.
澳门六合彩预测 Marketing and Communications maintains a branded photo collection, Media Archive, that is continually updated to reflect the full range of faculty, students, academic and campus life at 澳门六合彩预测. Media Archive is a digital asset management system that works in partnership with 澳门六合彩预测 Box. Users can search for photos using keywords, download images, store collections for easy reference and share images with University colleagues.
Access to Media Archive is currently limited to official University marketing of schools and units, with limited license permission granted by 澳门六合彩预测 Marketing and Communications. For smaller, one-time projects with specific image needs, access may be granted to a Box of assets, or temporarily to Media Archive.
Terms and Conditions for Use of All 澳门六合彩预测 Photos and Video
澳门六合彩预测 owns the permissions to all photos and videos in Media Archive and at photos.smu.edu. Permission to use any of these assets is granted for official University communications or personal use only. Use of 澳门六合彩预测’s photos and videos without permission is strictly prohibited. No individual, regardless of his affiliation with the University, may use any University imagery in any manner that suggests or implies University support or endorsement of a point of view, personal or political opinion, business activity, or movement.
Requesting Photography and Video Services
Photography and video of University facilities and events must be done in partnership with the University and 澳门六合彩预测 Marketing and Communications. To secure a photographer or videographer for an assignment, please as soon as you know about the possible need, and at least four weeks in advance. Because University-wide priorities limit the availability of 澳门六合彩预测 staff, we may book outside resources to fulfill your request. If you prefer, we can provide names of freelance photographers or videographers you may hire.
To request photography or video services, or to get a cost estimate, please fill out the form .
All freelance photographers and videographers must be under legal contract with 澳门六合彩预测 for copyright usage, carry liability insurance (insurance requirements below), agree to location standards, secure model releases as needed and take responsibility for metadata keywording for digital archiving. A standardized keyword list and metadata best-practices guide for use by freelance photographers and videographers are available by request. Link to keyword guide:
