Photography helps tell GSU’s story. How do we translate our key characteristics into imagery?
Tips:
Use photography that shows interaction between students and faculty. Immerse the viewer in the collaboration
that happens during the learning process.
Focus: Have a clear subject that allows the audience to place themselves in the subject’s world. When we think
of our tagline, Here, you are., we are creating visuals that allow students to explore. Cropping photos to limit the
background noise can help immerse the viewer into the scene.
Interaction: Use photography that shows the relationships between students and faculty and students helping
each other. Show how the commitment that the GSU community shows each other strengthens bonds.
Dynamic Angles: Photography with varying angles can create an engaging composition. Try to avoid taking
photos that are just straight on the subject.
Governors State University has an online gallery that we share photos with the campus and community. There
are a limited amount of photos that we make public, but if you require access to our online archives, please
contact the Office of Marketing and Communications for access.
