The DOPR Photography Unit supports the University community with a wide range of services, including:

• News and Event Coverage: Professional photography for academic ceremonies, conferences, official visits, workshops, and student events.

• Special Occasions and By-Request Sessions: Dedicated photography sessions for special university activities, awards, and recognitions.

• Staff Portraits: High-quality portraits of all UOD academic and administrative staff for use in academic portfolios, digital platforms, and official websites — supporting UOD’s digital transformation and professional image.

• Student Photography:

  • Graduation ceremonies

  • Registration IDs

  • Senior and milestone event sessions

All captured images are preserved and systematically archived in the DOPR Digital Media Archive, ensuring easy access and long-term preservation.

Photography is an essential part of UOD’s digital transformation journey. It:

• Enhances UOD’s official websites, social media platforms, and academic profiles.

• Provides a professional visual representation of the University’s people and achievements.

• Supports the creation of a healthy, vibrant digital footprint that boosts the University’s reputation locally and globally.

• Strengthens branding and marketing efforts through authentic and engaging imagery.

Every image captured reflects the excellence, diversity, and innovation at the heart of UOD.

To ensure a seamless photography experience, DOPR has developed Photography Session Guidelines for staff and students. These guidelines help:

• Prepare individuals for official portrait sessions.

• Maintain a unified and professional standard across all digital materials.

• Promote participation and ensure everyone’s contribution to building UOD’s public image.

University members are encouraged to participate actively in scheduled photography sessions to support the creation of a representative and inclusive archive.
