Photography Services

External Affairs is currently in discussions to reimplement institutional photography services, in light of recent service transitions in ITS. 

We understand that many departments are anxious for specifics. This page contains the current plans and status of services. It will be updated regularly as we re-implement the service.

EA has established "headshot days" to fill the business need for standardized institutional headshots. These are planned for once a month, in the existing A-162 campus studio space. Priority will be given to new employees, those who have never had a headshot taken, and those with headshots taken over a decade ago.

Upcoming headshot days:

January 22
February 13

Employees in need of headshots may sign up for a 10-minute time slot through Microsoft Bookings (login required):

External Affairs is covering the cost of these headshots; there are no chargebacks to units at this time.

Units seeking a photographer for their own events, or other departmental functions (e.g. group shots for websites) should reach out to Michael Yannetelli with details of the project. We will provide recommendations of trusted freelancers with expertise in the type of project being requested. Any photographers hired in this fashion would be at the department's expense.

Often, departments seek access to existing approved photography of key institutional buildings, people, and themes. External Affairs has been maintaining a repository of photography for these functions for many years, and often fields requests from departments for these needs.

To increase efficiency and access to these resources, we plan to provide self-service access to these assets later in FY25. More information will be provided as the system is ready for access.
