Photography
Photography is one of our most widely used and influential storytelling assets. Our photography style reinforces our brand strategy, portraying moments in authentic ways.
PhotoShelter Galleries
Photoshelter is Purdue Marketing and Communications’ digital asset library, providing access to the best Purdue-branded imagery. Galleries have been created for public use and for use by campus marketers.
Photo Guidelines
By aligning our photography style and usage with the Purdue Brand Guidelines, we can create a look and feel that’s distinctly ours. Learn how to capture photos from our three photography categories: locations, portraits and moments.
Photo Release Forms
In most cases, a release is not required for photo and video shoots on campus in a setting where consent is implied. However, if shooting in an environment where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, you should be familiar with the Release Guidelines.
Portrait Photography
Purdue faculty, staff and students can get a professional headshot at their convenience and at no cost. A self-service portrait booth is available in the Boilermaker Station Welcome Center, located in Stewart Center, Room 102. The booth is available for individual photos without an appointment Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The booth features:
- High-quality studio lighting and photography equipment
- The ability to review, approve or retake photos, along with on-screen posing tips
- Built-in editing tools to crop images, touch up blemishes, whiten teeth or apply filters
- Instant digital photo delivery via email
Other Events
Career fairs, headshot events, awards banquets, conferences, alumni dinners and other events will be covered ONLY if the images are needed for University-level marketing purposes or to fulfill the priorities of the institution.
Scouting a Location
When selecting a location to shoot video or photography, many factors need to be considered. Purdue Brand Studio has created a reference sheet and a location scouting guide to keep on hand when planning a project that includes videography or photography. An editable version of this reference sheet is available in Marq by request.
