Photography/Videography

Event Coverage

SACM has a group of students on staff through commonvision who are available to document your next event or idea. It is essential to capture the work we do, even if there isn’t an immediate application for the materials. Photos and video can be used at a later date for projects such as annual reports.

Please place a request for these services.

Portrait Photography

Need an official or updated UMBC portrait?

We are working with Melissa Penley Cormier, Research Graphics, whose office provides portrait services to the UMBC campus community. The portraits will be used for the website and each staff member will also receive a copy of the image file. Please share the folder and your preferred vertical and horizontal portrait options with SACM for our records.

The next step for you to receive a portrait is to follow the instructions on the information page of the Portraits website. While the regular front page of the site still says to please consider using a freelance photographer, the information page has a working Appointment Calendar for booking 15 minute sessions. Please read the information and tips and sign the release form before booking. Be sure to designate the Division of Student Affairs as the billing contact, as we have already sent billing information to them, and so we can access a copy for future marketing or publications.

Reach out to Melissa Penley Cormier at researchgraphics@umbc.edu if there are problems with availability.

Note that this service is not for undergraduate student staff. If you are looking for portraits for them, please use our Photography/Videography Request Form.

Video Production

Our video production services are limited to internal SACM projects only at this time. If you are looking for a video for your area, please reach out to New Media Studio.
