Example photographs and guidance

Documenting the making of art

The photos have a documentary feel and we attempt to avoid overly finished results. Artists and their passion for art are at the heart of the photos. Uniarts Helsinki’s high-quality and attractive facilities are displayed.

Community and internationality are an important part of our photographs

A sense of community and internationality are a natural part of the university’s everyday life. The photos show teacher and student interaction and a wide range of activities at the university.

Study environment in photographs

Photos of the Helsinki milieu showcase what an attractive place the city is to study – for both international and domestic audiences.

Photograph consent

Photography at Uniarts Helsinki facilities and events

Uniarts Helsinki organises several public events every year where photographs may be taken for various marketing purposes. Written permission to photograph must always be requested from the subjects if the photographs are to be used in marketing. Minors must be taken into account when filming events – their consent from a guardian is always required. It is also a good idea to ask for consent from children aged 12 or over.

Photography in teaching situations

When shooting in teaching situations, for example, it is a good idea to ask for verbal permission before starting, so that the photographer can immediately avoid those people who do not want to be photographed. However, written permission must still be obtained from those who appear in the pictures. Do not photograph or post images where someone is in an offensive situation or does not want to be photographed.

Request photography consent form from Communications

The consent form to photograph can be tailored appropriately to cover consent to photography and publishing photos on different channels. The photo consent form is available in Finnish and English from Uniarts Helsinki’s Communications team viestinta@uniarts.fi.
