5 Ways to Work Best with A College | DFW HEADSHOTS
Working with a College Brand either on Site or at one of their remote locations is usually a really fun job! Recently I’ve been able to work with Texas Tech University MBA program located in the DFW metroplex as an extension from Lubbock & Baylor University in the great city of Waco TX. Working with these colleges again is such an honor and we had a great time too!
Here are a few tips for success when working with colleges to get professional photos:
1. Understand the College’s Guidelines and Branding |. Colleges often have specific guidelines and branding requirements for professional photos. Make sure to understand their color schemes, logo placement, and overall aesthetic preferences. This ensures your photos align with the institution's brand identity and are suitable for use in marketing materials.
2. Communicate Your Vision Prior To Session
Discuss their goals and vision & provide them with details on what you want to achieve, the tone of the photos, and any specific shots or subjects you need. Clear communication helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures the results meet your expectations.
3. Schedule and Plan in Advance - Colleges are busy environments, so it’s essential to plan the shoot well in advance. Coordinate with the necessary departments, secure permissions if needed, and ensure all participants (students, staff, etc.) are informed about the schedule. This preparation minimizes disruptions and ensures the shoot runs smoothly.
4. Choose the Right Locations - Select locations on campus that align with the purpose of your photos. For professional shots, consider iconic campus spots, well-lit interiors, or outdoor areas with natural light. The right backdrop can enhance the quality and impact of your photos.
5. Authenticity Throughout the Session - Colleges prioritize authenticity, so it’s important to represent this in your photos. Include a mix of students, faculty, and staff from different backgrounds and ensure that the images reflect the college’s values and community. Emotions will need to be included as much as possible.
These tips will help you work effectively with colleges to produce professional and impactful photos.
