For portraits or headshots such as for the Nazareth Directory and website:
- Have a photo taken: Available by appointment at the photo studio, in the basement of Lorette Wilmot Library (Room 133). Email mediaresources@naz.edu or call 585-389-2149 to schedule.
- Or provide a photo of yourself for the Naz Directory and naz.edu. Submit it via the digital/web request form, which goes to Marketing and Communications.
- Give permission: Each faculty/staff person must give permission individually for your photo to appear in the Nazareth directory and (if used) on our web pages. We encourage you to do so! Photos help us get to know each other and fit with our friendly campus culture. Here's how:
- Go to the Nazareth Directory's Privacy Settings.
- Sign in to the directory (using your regular Naz login and password).
- Choose "Display my photo to anonymous users."
- Click submit.
Video or photo requests that have direct marketing or communication publication uses
Photo requests will be considered (with adequate advance notice) for images that support a Nazareth marketing or communications goal and will be used on the naz.edu website, social media channels, Connections, or recruiting and fundraising materials. Complete the Photo/Video Request Form »

Accessing the Image Library
All photography is digital and available to faculty and staff through the Nazareth Image Archive. Use your Naz login (flast0).
If you seek prints, you can request prints of images from digital files (such as on 24-pound matte paper or on textbook glossy paper) through Naz Media Resources, or an outside lab.
Can I use images I find elsewhere?
Nazareth can't endorse using "free" images found online because such images present risks.
- People depicted in photos — even "public domain" photos — may not have given permission. You/Nazareth may be liable for use.
- Even "free" photo sources carry warnings. Examples:
U.S. government agencies such as the Library of Congress, which tends to share public domain images, warns regarding copyright, "The information we have may not be accurate or complete. As a publicly supported institution, we generally do not own the rights to materials in our collections. You should determine for yourself whether or not an item is protected by copyright or in the public domain, and then satisfy any copyright or use restrictions when publishing or distributing materials from our collections. Transmission or reproduction of protected items beyond what is allowed by fair use or other exemptions requires written permission from the copyright holder."
Adobe Spark automatically adds credit lines but also warns "Adobe doesn't vouch for the images turned up through image search. We have filters that try to screen for creative commons licensed images, but they are not perfect. You must verify that you have the appropriate rights to use any image you place in your project."
- All use must follow U.S. Copyright restrictions and Principles of Fair Use. Any photograph, the moment it is created, is copyrighted, whether it's by a professional or an amateur. "Fair use" is a defense used in copyright cases, not a blanket waiver to use copyrighted material.
Photos You Can Use
- Nazareth's image archive (available to anyone with a Nazareth login) has more than 180,000 images. Keep in mind that images of people should be used appropriately — so don't use a student portrait on a poster about drug abuse, sexual violence, or other negative connotation unless the student has specifically signed a photo release for this use.
- Fill out the photo request form on this page or contact Nazareth's photo contact (on this page) to discuss the kind of photos you need — to see whether they can be taken.
- Stock photo companies such as iStock, Getty Images, or Pond5 (for a fee) provide images licensed for use. They require model and location releases from their contributors, so those images can be safely used for any purpose.
- You could recruit someone to take photos or hire a freelance photographer.
Photography & Videography for Instructional Support

Getting photo prints at media resources
Photographic prints and posters of images from digital files (such as on 24-pound matte paper or on textbook glossy paper) can be ordered through Media Resources or an outside lab at your department's expense.
