Photography
Used well, photography emphasizes what makes BU great – the community, the campus, and experiential learning. When shooting, lean into showcasing our BU heroes and the groundbreaking work they do all across campus. When editing photos, please ensure the final product honestly represents your subject and accurately communicates with the university audience.
