Hofstra’s photography style captures the energy, diversity, and authenticity of campus life through candid, high-quality imagery. Visual storytelling should reflect a balance of academic excellence, community engagement, and the vibrancy of student life.
To maintain a natural and relatable tone, all brand-level photography not specific to an event should feel spontaneous and unstaged while adhering to brand aesthetics. Campus imagery should showcase real spaces and real moments, with consistent lighting, composition, and clarity.
When featuring students, be mindful of branded apparel. While Hofstra swag is welcome and encouraged, it should be used in moderation to avoid over-saturation or a staged appearance.
