Download official staff and faculty portraits
Official staff and faculty portraits are available upon request. UW-L faculty, staff and students are permitted to use photos from this collection for non-commercial, editorial use. News media are permitted to use photos from this collection for editorial use only, in association with stories pertaining to UW-L. Where appropriate, photos should be credited to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
These services are provided on a non-chargeback basis.
If departments are taking photos themselves of an individual or group, use these photo tips:
Take the photo outside in the shade, if possible
Keep background as neutral as possible
Have subject(s) stand no closer than 3 feet from the background
Have shorter people in the front of taller people
Arrange group in two or three rows, if possible
Make sure everyone can be seen by having everyone stand between two people (open window is what we call it)
Make sure everyone looks at the photographer
Take at least 3 or 4 photographs
If people want to be silly, tell them that you will have an opportunity for a candid photo after the more formal ones
