UNCSA Photography Portal

UNCSA Photography Portal

The UNCSA photography portal includes performance and event photos for the campus community to download for educational purposes or for portfolio use. All photos in the portal are watermarked with the UNCSA logo, and are available as low-resolution images for download. Assets are organized by conservatory, then year and then by production. Some general campus photography and faculty and staff headshots are also available.

ACCESS THE PORTAL

Students

Students can access the photography portal above using their UNCSA single sign-on credentials (see instructions below). Students are allowed to use photos in online portfolios to show work for classes or job interviews. You must credit the photographer on all online portfolios, and all photos must remain watermarked.

Faculty & Staff

All faculty and staff have access to the photography portal using their single sign-on credentials (see instructions below). High-resolution or non-watermarked photos may be requested for UNCSA recruiting or marketing purposes by emailing Melissa Upton-Julio.

Alumni

Alumni do not have access to the photography portal, but can request photos for portfolio use only. Please note that assets date back to the 2010-11 school year. Photos from earlier years may be available through the UNCSA Archives Office

How to use the photography portal

Logging in

Select the "login using SSO" button. Then, enter your single sign-on credentials (your UNCSA email address and password). You may access the portal from on or off-campus.

Navigation

Once logged in, you can either use the search bar at the top to look for a specific item, or you can select one of the collections below and navigate to the folder you are looking for.

Note
Be sure to double check that the photos you are selecting are from the correct year — some performances have been produced more than once.

Downloading photos

To download a photo, follow these steps:

1. Select the photo you want to download and click on the download icon in the top left of the page (it looks like an arrow pointing down into a box).

2. A new window will pop up, then you can click the "Download" button in the bottom right corner of the window to complete the download.

Notes
Bulk download is not currently an option in the photography portal.

Photos are for educational purposes or for portfolio use only. Higher resolution and non-watermarked photos will only be made available upon request, with approval from the Vice Chancellor for Strategic Communications.
