Axe ’Em, Jacks!
University Marketing Communications understands the power of a good story. Our professional photography services help tell the best SFA stories, from a single portrait to an entire photo shoot.
We prioritize our services to achieve the university’s enrollment, marketing and branding goals, so we place precedence on providing images that support and enhance recruitment, retention and reputation. Due to time constraints, lower priority is given to other events, which may not be covered unless the images are deemed appropriate for recruitment, marketing or media visibility.
We assist the media and campus communities in acquiring top-quality images of the university, its faculty and students, as well as newsworthy events. Our photos have accompanied stories in newspapers, magazines and other publications around the country.
