Our photography

Our photography centres around our people.

The style is reportage: candid, real and authentic. We aim to capture everyday student life within our modern university environment without feeling posed or contrived. 

The images should be shot creatively with an emphasis on point of view (POV) using, for example, fresh angles, different perspectives and shifts in focus. The colouring should be natural, and where possible, include pops of colour from our colour palette.

You can view and download photos from our image library.

Honesty is key so avoid overly posed shots which don’t look or feel natural. Our people should be active in their environment.

Groups of people should be imaginatively shot and show people in their environment.

People can be shown without necessarily showing their faces. Detail shots can be useful in giving extra interest to a spread or webpage and they can also provide a visual cue to subjects that can be studied.

Images of Oxford should capture the atmosphere, characteristics and attributes of our vibrant city.

Wherever possible, images of Oxford should include people.
