Photography and video

We follow four principles to ensure our imagery, whether photography, video, animation or illustration, communicates our values and our personality.

Global: Reflect the global nature of our community, connections and locations. Look for imagery from around the world, with a mix of colours, textures and stylistic influences to breathe life and energy into our content.

Authentic: Tell a real story or capture a moment that shows students, staff and researchers actively engaged in an activity.

Dynamic: Show the vibrancy and diversity of life at the university. Find images that convey a sense of wonder, discovery, enjoyment, achievement and passion.

Diverse: Celebrate the diverse nature of what we do and the people who study and work here. Choose imagery that shows the depth and breadth of university life, from the beauty and scale of our campuses, to our world-class facilities and the pioneering work of our researchers.

Research

You can use abstract imagery to demonstrate our research capabilities, which have an impact on the lives of millions of people worldwide. And our research excellence is fuelled by people, so let’s celebrate them in their environment.

Abstract or stock imagery and footage

Use abstract imagery alongside other imagery to represent a concept or theme where real imagery isn't available or appropriate.
