ßÉßɱ¬ÁÏ

Use photography and video to convey what makes UVic unique, to highlight emotion and to share our story. UVic photos and videos should:

• draw the outside into our work and elevate place as a hero

• showcase our people in ways that celebrate how this place influences their work, life and commitments to people, place and planet

• include subtle pops of UVic colours, where possible

• reflect the diversity of UVic students, faculty, staff, alumni, partners and community

• have candid and natural poses
• have high contrast
• elicit curiosity and/or smiles
• use real UVic people—students, staff, faculty and partners

Faculty and staff can access our image gallery for ready-to-use images.

Students and partners can for access to our images.
