Request for New Photography Assignment
Provide a short description to explain the nature of this assignment so that we can consider your request. Read below for more information about how UCM considers accepting requests. Please note that event photography, student and staff headshots are typically beyond the scope of our work. Please see this link for a list of approved university freelancers for such coverage. University Communications and Marketing (UCM) has the following strategic objectives on behalf of the university:
1) Raise the profile of Tufts and its schools
2) Increase the impact of Tufts
3) Increase alumni loyalty and engagement
4) Increase the number of prospects and donors
5) Increase the number and quality of applicants.
6) Ensure that Tufts faculty and staff feel informed, engaged, and connected, and are enthusiastic ambassadors for the university
Recognizing that resources are finite, UCM’s photographers prioritize photography that supports one or more of these objectives.
Additional criteria for considering requests include:
- The school publications or communications channels that will publish these images
- The audience(s) for this photography (e.g., internal or external)
- The support of revenue generation, recruitment, and/or measurable reputation management
PLEASE NOTE:
- Student and staff headshots are beyond the scope of the resources available from UCM photographers.
- Faculty headshots are managed through a series of scheduled shoots that rotate among the campuses; contact photo@tufts.edu for the schedule and locations.
- If you have reason to believe that your event may rise to the occasion of meeting one or more of the objectives listed above, please email photo@tufts.edu.
- For photos that are not within the scope of the resources available from the UCM photographers, we have curated a list of trusted and reliable freelancers with whom we have negotiated low-cost rates on behalf of university staff who wish to engage their services.
