Multimedia
The Office of Communications and Marketing offers professional photography and videography services to the GW community. With years of experience covering university life and news, our multimedia team captures the imagery you need to tell your stories and convey your messages.
Our teams prioritize coverage of university news, and then we are proud to share our services with university partners. If we cannot accommodate your request, we can provide freelance recommendations that can be procured at your own cost.
Please Note
The photos and videos taken by our multimedia team are the property of GW. The Office of Communications and Marketing reserves the right to use any image for its own purposes.
Images used in editorial print must be accompanied by the appropriate credit: photographer name/the George Washington University.
If you choose to hire freelance photographers, we offer a Photo and Video Recording Release Form for your subjects to sign. This form authorizes GW to utilize the video footage or publish the photographs taken in university printed publications, university websites and advertising.
