Higher education photography is all about capturing visual content related to educational institutions. It involves photographing various aspects of the higher education experience, including campus life, academics, activities, events, faculty, and students. The goal of higher education photography is to showcase the unique attributes, culture, and achievements of the institution, creating visually compelling narratives that appeal to prospective students, alumni, and the broader community.
Whether it’s for marketing and admissions materials, annual reports, social media content, or publications and press releases, higher education photography is designed to build educational reputation and influence, celebrate success, and attract students and donors alike.
As a seasoned higher ed photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing esteemed institutions like Columbia, Barnard, and Webb. I bring a wealth of experience in showcasing the unique spirit, academic excellence, and vibrant campus life that defines these influential universities. My expertise lies not only in capturing student life and academic events, but also in translating the intangible essence of higher learning into visually compelling narratives.
My team has contracted Isabel for dozens of projects over the past 5 years, ranging from capturing the magical moments at a festive celebration, to intricate, detailed food shoots for our social media and web-based hospitality marketing. Isabel has a great eye for the right visuals, is a tireless perfectionist completely dedicated to the quality of her art, and somehow manages to be a positive, energizing element on every project. She can get close-ups of event participants eating, laughing, and partying without ever getting in the way, an almost unteachable skill that makes her live event work discreet and effective.
Bottom line: we use Isabel exclusively for our most important campaigns because the quality of her work is far superior to her competition. It’s a bonus that she is so personable and professional - we always look forward to the next collaboration.
Isabel is an experienced pro photographer whom I got to know while we were working on an apparel brand startup. She was personable, knowledgeable, and extremely thoughtful throughout the planning and execution of our campaign. When we met to speak about her process, she thought of every detail pertaining to what we’d need for the shoot, created a thoughtful shot list, scoped out potential sites, and even brought her own resources to the forefront so that we could make the photoshoot happen on a tight budget and timeframe. She brought her multifaceted creative perspective to our shoot, which I valued highly.
When directing the shoot and the models, Isabel kept everyone on a timetable that was highly efficient and organized while maintaining a fun and friendly atmosphere and making sure we got the shots we needed in the alotted time. I would definitely hire Isabel again for a professional shoot, she was excellent to work with and someone that I’ll gladly keep in my proverbial Rolodex of creative talent.
Isabel is a fantastic photographer. We had the pleasure of working with her for a large conference with participants from all around the world.
She was amazingly present throughout the entire event, took photographs of the highest quality, and was prompt and communicative throughout the whole post-production process. Would recommend her for events of any and all sizes.
Isabel's photography is dramatically different than what you'd normally see from an event.
As an attendee and co-creator of the Climate Changes Everything conference, Isabel captured the passion, energy and intensity of the participants. I loved seeing their joyful smiles and impassioned discussions. Such beautiful work!
Whether it’s to advance admissions, appeal to investors, or celebrate the successes of influential alumni, investing higher education photography is an investment in university reputation, influence, and relevance.
