Photography Request Form

If you are not able to find specific photography, submit a photography service request form to request what you need.

Permissions

Photos are not to be used by any company or organization outside of SJSU without first obtaining permission from Strategic Communications and Marketing. All rights are reserved and photo assets are the copyright of SJSU.

Approved vendors, freelancers, and contractors must fill out a contact form to gain access to the photography library. Please make sure to indicate your point of contact at San José State University, provide some details to the project you are working on, and specify the images you are looking for.

NOTE: It is never appropriate — or legal — to use an image from another source in print, on the web or on social media without obtaining permission from the image’s owner. 

External Photography Requests

External media outlets, businesses and others may request permission to use photos. If you are contacted by an outside organization for photos or you wish to obtain permission to send photos to an organization outside of SJSU, please contact Strategic Communications and Marketing at communications@sjsu.edu. Once approved, photos should include proper credit ("Photographer's name/San José State University").

SJSU Video Style

Video gives us the opportunity to tell our stories and show how SJSU cultivates transformation, while also inspiring others to transform themselves through a San José State education.

SJSU videos embody a clear message, free of distraction and include only essential content. They align with the university’s personality and brand pillars and support our mission, values and priorities. That’s why we use original, bold and high-quality videography and employ visual simplicity to create compelling, emotional and meaningful messages of the SJSU brand.

Common types of video:

• Instructional/educational Marketing

• News/informational

• Event coverage
