The Macalester community is the best resource for illustrating the life of the college and as a result, images of people publicly engaged in campus life are often taken for these purposes. Members of the community will be informed via signage, permission from an event organizer, or an item in the Mac Daily when a photographer or videographer is present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When making requests for photo\/video services, please indicate what it is you&#8217;d like captured so we can determine if your request meets these criteria. Please provide as much advance notice as possible. Two weeks is ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"link-group block-container\" >\n        <div class=\"link-group__featured-row\">\n        <div class=\"link-group__featured-inner\">\n            <div class=\"link-group__featured-inner-inner\">\n                <ul class=\"link-group__featured-link\">\n                                            <li class=\"link-group__link-item\">\n                            <a class=\"base-cta-featured\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.monday.com\/forms\/3bf4de81c853e64c8350a34bbceeb91b?r=use1\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    Request for photo or video coverage\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"base-symbol base-cta-featured__arrow\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <use xlink:href=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/macalester-2020\/dist\/svgs\/symbol-arrow.svg#icon\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n                        <\/li>\n                                            <li class=\"link-group__link-item\">\n                            <a class=\"base-cta-featured\" href=\"https:\/\/macalester.mediavalet.com\/v5\/browse\/categories\/66f7ebfa-757f-4dbe-aa6a-02a3692d587b\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    Faculty and staff headshots (login required)\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"base-symbol base-cta-featured__arrow\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <use xlink:href=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/macalester-2020\/dist\/svgs\/symbol-arrow.svg#icon\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n                        <\/li>\n                                    <\/ul>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>Questions?
