Photography

SCU inspires students, faculty, and staff to do meaningful work that impacts the world. Our brand photography should communicate this quickly and authentically.

Imagery and Visual Storytelling

When it comes to expressing the Santa Clara University brand, our photos and videos tell the stories of our diverse and dynamic community in a visual way. Our photography shows the breadth of life in and around the University as well as on location, and our choice of imagery can and should support our verbal branding messages. 

Applying the practices found in this Photography guide will help you elevate the impact of your unit's storytelling and enable you to confidently handle some aspects on your own.
