Photo Requests

To request a photoshoot, please fill out our request form below. Please do NOT use this form to ask questions or inquire about photographer availability. Instead, please email questions and inquiries to photo@pitt.edu or call Michelle Denson at +1-412-624-4147. All photos will be delivered to your Microsoft OneDrive account.

Please consider the following when requesting our services:

• Why is photography needed and how will it be used strategically?
• Is the photo newsworthy to the news media?
• How can the subject be photographed to yield the strongest impact? For example, a photograph of a professor working on a research project has greater potential for use than a photo of the professor being recognized at an awards ceremony.
• Is there potential to amplify the photo through additional use, such as social media, news releases, web, magazine, newspaper, interior display, etc.?
• How does the photo project support Pitt's strategic goals and initiatives?
• How will the photography align with the University Brand Guidelines?

Note: If you need a photographer within 48 hours, please call Michelle Denson at +1-412-624-4147.
