Procedure

Photography and Videography

The Navarro College Department of Marketing and Public Relations staff dedicates its resources to advancing the overall institutional image.

Photography requests should be made at least a week in advance. Requests made with less than a week may not be fulfilled.

Photography releases are not required if students or others are:

  • Photographed in a public space or at public events, such as sporting events or concerts.

  • The photograph is taken in non-public environment and the primary focus is not recognizable, such as when a silhouette, posterior/dorsal view, or out of focus shot is taken.

  • Navarro College faculty or staff

  • Invited to attend a group activity/event and chose to participate of their own free will.

 

Photography releases are required for students and others if:

  • The primary focus of a photography is taken in a non-public space, are recognizable, and have been recruited specifically to serve as subjects/models.

  • Minors (i.e., anyone under age 18). It is very important to obtain a release/consent form for minors with a parent or guardian signature before being photographed, videotaped or interviewed by news media.

  • Current students, identifiable, and in a location for specific purpose other than being photographed. For example, if a group of current students is studying in a library and you want to take a photography of the group studying, a release/consent form should be obtained from each subject/model.

 

Release forms are available at MyNC > Staff Forms > Marketing > Important Links.
