Photography
To use photos, artwork, illustrations, audio and/or video of CLA students, alumni or guests in communication pieces, the department/program must have a signed Visual/Audio Release Form (PDF).
For events or large crowds, in lieu of individual photo releases, post a photo/video sign on all event entrances (PDF).
If you would like a CLA staff/intern photographer present at your event, see the Photography Request Checklist.
