Photo & Video

Whitman Communications supports the college’s videography and photography needs to support the college brand and its strategic goals. Our office also maintains a photo database of images that members of the Whitman community can access.

We work with professional freelancers and students to meet the photo needs of our campus community. There is no charge for photography or videography taken by our team. Charges may be associated with hiring freelancers; this is assessed case-by-case.

Photography and videography requests are prioritized by those that most meet the needs of the college’s strategic goals.

Videography

The college emphasizes videography to support its enrollment goals. This includes social media, marketing, and feature story videos. If you would like to discuss how video could improve communication for a project, please contact Director of Content Margie Reece or go to the Starting a Project page. You can see examples of some of our videos below by visiting our channel on YouTube.

Photography

Event photography and portraits are primarily taken by our team of trained student photographers. Requests for photography should be submitted as early as possible to allow us to schedule around our students' class schedules. All requests for photography need to be submitted via this form. Requests are evaluated based on how well each meets the college’s and Communications’ strategic goals. If you would like assistance hiring an outside photographer to cover an event, please contact Margie Reece.
