UF Photo Gallery Guidelines

Thank you for visiting the News Bureau's photo gallery! This photo gallery is a view only site and is just a portion of our entire collection. The images are lo-resolution and can be copied from the site for layout purposes ONLY. To order hi-resolution copies of the files, or to inquire about other images, you must contact Ray Carson, director of photography, at rcarson@ufl.edu. Please include your full name, department information, P.O.Box (if applicable), and a phone number where you can be reached with your email request.

*Note: Images take a moment to load individually, we are currently working to improve the issue. Thank you for your patience.*

*Please review these guidelines before vewing the gallery*

* These guidelines are to help users determine the proper use and legal responsibilities of the UF photo library. Routine color enhancement, cropping, exposure compensation and retouching of photographs are allowed as long as the original content and meaning are not changed.

*The position and appearance of people and objects in a photograph should not be changed, or manipulated. Cropping should be limited to improving composition, by removing unnecessary background elements or to meet layout requirements. Cropping should not change the content, meaning or intent of the original photograph.

*If a photo is to be digitally altered for use as part of a photo illustration or collage, permission should be received from the UF News Bureau photo department. Remember, the photographer created the image and their name is on it.

*Using photos of people in any publication that endorses a product, organization or position should be avoided unless it was shot specifically for that purpose. Editorial use of photos on University publications does not require model releases. But any commercial, political or lifestyle endorsement does require the models consent. Therefore, people photos should be used on any endorsement only if permission of the subject and photographer has been obtained.

*Misrepresenting a set up photo illustration as a "found" moment or as a news photo should be avoided. If a caption is necessary to explain the content isn't real or doesn't represent that actual event, then the photo should not be used.

*If the photo is used as part of the illustration, the credit line should reflect this, such as: Photo Illustration by xxx Original photo by xxx. All uses of photos by the Photography dept should be properly credited, such as: Photo by (photographers name) UF News Bureau.

*Use of photographs from the UF News Bureau web library is limited to the original purchaser and cannot be given to other sources to use without permission from the department.
