WHAT IS PHOTOSHELTER?

UF PhotoShelter is a curated collection of images depicting academic and campus life. The Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing manages the account. The photos are available for faculty and staff to use in presentations, digital designs, flyers, and more. Photos can be found in the Galleries section of the site, where they are categorized in the following folders:

Details – Detail photography is a great way to highlight UF’s many unique aspects. Consider using these images to showcase the everyday beauty of our campus.

Environments – UF’s campuses’ vibrancy, community, and architecture are something to show off. Pepper these sense-of-place shots throughout communications to help the layout breathe.

Momentum Moments – This action-oriented style of photography captures the university’s work ethic both inside and outside the classroom.

Portraits – Portraiture styles put a human face to the work done at the university. It shows students, faculty, and staff in the best authentic light.

Spirit – The energy, camaraderie, and sense of pride during social, competitive, or student-driven events is vital to the UF experience and its impact on the world. When speaking broadly about the institution, these photos should never be a lead or hero image but should be used as supporting elements.

CREDITING PHOTOS ON PHOTOSHELTER

Photo credit is required if an external group, such as a news outlet, uses imagery from the PhotoShelter gallery. Credit can be attributed as “University of Florida/Insert photographer’s name” or “University of Florida” if a photographer’s name is not listed.

For internal units and departments, credit is not required for use in collateral. There are instances of campus publications preferring to credit which is acceptable.
