Photography - La Sierra University

A great photo is the key to successful promotional materials, advertising, social media, and other engagement with current students, parents, alumni, and potential students.

Style

Photography is more than a simple representation of life at La Sierra. Capturing the right moment can help create rich emotional attachments to our university, and elicits positive response. La Sierra’s photography showcases our diversity, curiosity, and life on campus.

Guidelines for Use

You can find excellent photos of La Sierra University and its students in the gallery. Departments and clubs are welcome to use these photos for online promotion and outreach as well as on-campus advertising of events.

Take advantage of the greenery on campus.

The subject should not be wearing clothing with logos, unless it is a La Sierra University shirt/sweatshirt.

The image should be well-lit and focused.

Seek active and interesting shots.
