Photography Request

Photography is a valuable aspect of the Fort Valley State University brand and helps tell our story.

The Office of Marketing and Communications offers photography services to capture the images you need to convey your specific message. Whether you want new campus photos for your department, images of your research project, an updated portrait, or photos of your event, we are here to help!

Our photographic style is largely photojournalistic and generally falls into one of four categories— Engagement, Moments, Environment and Portraits.

  • Engagement | our dynamic learning experience and the engagement between staff and students both in and out of the academic environment.
  • Moments | authentic relationships, candid moments, and organic activities. Evoke a friendly and inviting FVSU community.
  • Environment | the energy of our beautiful campus, the vibrancy of Middle Georgia, and the diversity of our university community.
  • Portraits | captures the detail and personal characteristics of our storytellers
