“A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it.”

-Irving Penn

Photography

If you are photographing your own photos, here are some tips. 

Photo release forms are located on the right hand side of this page. 

Photo sessions

If you would like assistance scheduling a photo session in your laboratory or classroom, or if you need a photo taken of yourself or your team, please email communications@soe.ucsc.edu.

When taking photos in labs and classrooms, we strive to include as diverse a group as possible. 

In labs, we look for active research photos and a combination of single-person and multiple-person photos. 

**If you’re planning on taking photos at an event, please ensure the UC Santa Cruz event photography sign is posted to notify event attendees that photos will be taken and possibly used for print and online publication.**
