## Description
The University requires a framework of professional photographers to deliver exceptional imagery to appropriately represent the University in the increasingly competitive HE (Higher Education) market. All photography taken on behalf of the University must adhere to the University brand. Information on the University's brand guidelines can be found at File 4 Appendix 1 - UoS Brand Imagery, further information can be provided upon appointment.
Imagery is a key part of our brand. For the University to ensure high-quality photographs to support print and digital materials we require professional photographers to showcase the University through selling university life, world-leading teaching and research and compelling profiles of staff, students, alumni and facilities.
The supplier is required to capture imagery to work across multiple platforms, they will need to be aware of the different specific shot styles. This can include shooting:
- images in landscape and portrait
- the same image multiple times in different angles
-the same set up with different models
The commissioner will be on location to guide these decisions, but the photographer will need to be experienced to execute these styles, advise and think creatively.
The framework of suppliers will provide services across the whole University including other professional services, academic units, research centres and arts venues. All photography taken on behalf of the University must adhere to the University brand guidelines as well as considerations around campaign and channel requirements. All work supplied to the University must be subject to quality control processes by the commissioned supplier before it is supplied.
