Photography
El Camino's visual identity is illustrated through images that emphasize an inspiring and uplifting feeling.
Photographic Style
Images should illustrate authentic faculty/staff involvement with the purpose of supporting and educating individuals and community.
Remember:
- Avoid staged, posed or camera-aware setups except in instances such as an inset headshot or a profile story.
- Showing people in their environment is paramount.
- Shallow depth of field helps to put focus on subject matters.

Images may also be used by the media with the permission of Marketing & Communications and must include the appropriate photo credit. All photos taken by employees of El Camino College are credited as just “El Camino College” in photo credits.
