Asset Bank and stock images
        
        
        All of our photography can be found in our Asset Bank and is available for all staff to download and use in print, on the web and in social media posts, for example. Search for images here first before commissioning a photography shoot to avoid duplicating work. Please visit our Asset Bank guidance page for more information on access and usage. 
If suitable images can't be found within the University's extensive collection and it's impractical to organise a photo shoot, it may be necessary to use stock images. There are commercial (paid-for) and free stock images available but please be aware of financial and legal implications such as usage licences, copyright or time restrictions before including them in your work.
For example, storing or using images for a purpose they have not been paid or downloaded for may incur heavy fines which will need to be paid for from department budgets. If you do purchase an image, please make sure a copy of the purchase agreement is sent to the Marketing Office.
If you are unsure whether you are allowed to use an image, please check with the Marketing Office to avoid costly fines.
