Photography

Photography is considered a powerful branding tool. Thoughtfully composed photographs can vividly capture a brand attribute, support a brand promise or illustrate an aspect of brand personality. 

The best photographs are engaging and authentic, featuring dynamic angles and creative use of space. Their subjects are real people - actual members of our campus community - with genuine expressions, in our unique university environment.

A few examples are to the left.

Because of the importance of authenticity, and the University's commitment to genuineness, the use of stock photography is strongly discouraged.

A library of high-quality photography that supports the University brand is available from the Integrated Marketing & Communications Website. You are encouraged to use these images to enhance your website, marketing materials, event promotions and other department communications. 

If you need custom photography for your materials, Integrated Marketing & Communications can provide it upon request - just complete the photograph request form found at www.uwosh.edu/go/photoform.

If you wish to take your own photos, a digital camera is available to you through IMC. Please contact the office to check out the camera.
