Photography Services

We provide the services of a photographer for location, studio, and tabletop photography to university clients according to established University Relations departmental goals and priorities.

  • Clients needing university photography should contact Michael Kiernan, (540) 231-6992, in the Media Building.
  • Reasonable notice should be given for an assignment, and photographers will be assigned to clients as available.
  • When a photographer is unavailable, clients may check out a 35mm or digital camera.
  • Clients are charged for the cost of materials and travel, and before an assignment takes place should provide an ISR after getting an estimate.
  • Upon completion of a project, the photographer will edit the pictures and present the client with the best images to choose from.
  • Although the client has first rights to the images, all original images remain the property of University Relations and may become a part of the university's photo library.
  • Upon request and for a fee, prints can be ordered of pictures shot by unit photographers. Contact Jane Talbot, (540) 231-7317.
  • Photography does not provide photographic copy work, processing or lab work, passport photos, or scans of photos not shot by our photographers.
