All individuals other than TCC employees photographed for TCC purposes must sign an image release form, available in English and Spanish (PDF Documents will open in new window).

Available Services

Photography services available for District and major campus use may include:

• Departmental or campus events
•  Portraits
• Publications or promotional pieces

Use of District photography services are at the discretion of the Office of Public Relations and Marketing.

In cases other than major TCC events, a freelance photographer may be suggested, to be paid from the department’s budget. A list of reputable freelance photographers is available upon request.

Photo Tips

TCC faculty and staff may take event photos to be considered for TCC publications or media use. Images should be taken with the following guidelines in mind:

• Set digital camera to highest resolution setting.
• Ensure that there is sufficient lighting in the room.
• Only include 3-4 people in the foreground of photo.
• Take photos close to subjects, with subjects close to one another.
• Allow depth by moving subjects away from a wall or background.
• Photograph subjects in various positions, not only lined up next to each other.
• Obtain identification (full name and title) for each person and signatures on the image release form.

Submitting photos

Photos for consideration in publications should be saved in JPEG format and sent to pr.marketing@tccd.edu. Large files or groups of photos should be sent on a CD via interoffice mail.
