Each person on this list has signed a contract with Procurement specifying that any photographs taken will be owned by the University with all the rights that go along with them. Photographs taken by freelance photographers will not be available on nkuphotography.com. Storage and production of those photographs is the responsibility of the department contracting the photographer.
You will need to contact the freelancer directly to determine availability. The NKU unit hiring a freelance photographer is responsible for scheduling and payment. The NKU unit is required to submit a purchase requisition before the photography assignment begins.
For questions on this policy, please contact procurement at purchasing@nku.edu.
