PHOTOGRAPHY
The saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” is proven by the way the right photo adds to Hofstra’s marketing and communications efforts, especially as the audience’s patience for the written word shrinks. University Photography offers the services of our photographers, both staff and freelance, to capture event and editorial imagery, while also making available archival photos and stock images, when the right Hofstra photo isn’t available.
What University Photography Does
- Accepts requests for event photography, fulfilled by the University Photographer
- Accepts requests for editorial photography for use in printed or digital collateral
- Photographs the campus, student body, faculty, and major campus-wide events to maintain a bank of photography for the University’s use.
- Manages the University’s online photo archive, available with a MyHofstra login via the Portal.
- Shoots regular headshot sessions for employees, to ensure current, high-quality headshots for employees interacting with students and external audiences.
- Please note, all photography requests are considered on a case by case basis, depending on schedule allowances and whether the imagery serves the mission of Marketing and Communications. If the University Photographer is not available, a freelance photographer may be made available at a quoted cost to the requesting department
