Photography
We do not currently offer photography services through student communications but please see tips and options for professionals below.
Planning on using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for photos or graphics? Please review the AI guidelines before proceeding.
TAKING PHOTOS YOURSELF
- Get a photo/video release for people in the photos, especially if the photos will be used for marketing purposes.
- It is your responsibility to hold on to these releases. We recommend scanning them into Box.
- WSU Guidelines and Best Practices
Need Crowd Release?
Is your event in a crowded place where you will be taking pictures or video of the event?
You can download and print the Crowd Release to post on the day of your event to ensure that your images can be legally used.
Ideally, if you are taking close-up photos or video of student's faces that you plan on using in future marketing materials, even if it is at a large event in a public setting, you should get a signed photo/video release. Save them securely somewhere like Box.
*Remember to take pictures of the posted signage at your event for reference.
