Accessing the Online Images Database

CSU Photography maintains catalogs of images our photographers have produced both for university clients and on speculation in a Canto Cumulus database.

All photos are the property of the CSU Photography, Department of Communications and Creative Services, Colorado State University and copyrighted as such. Photographs may only be used to promote Colorado State University programs and activities. Without specific permission photos may not be used or altered to depict the subject of a photo in a negative light, or subject persons to ridicule, or be used to illustrate topics of sexual issues, substance abuse, physical or mental abuse, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, AIDS, cancer, or serious physical or mental ailments, or the disparagement of a person or product.

Use Fees
Use fees will not be assessed for the use of photographs created under contract by the client’s department, college or division. However, it cannot be assumed that a client’s department contracted the photography just because photograph depicts a department’s activities. There may be fees for time to do photo research, scanning, retouching, color correction and file transfer. You will be made aware at the beginning of a project if such fees are required to fulfill your request.

CSU Photography supplies photographs of campus activities to off campus editorial media doing stories on Colorado State University at no charge.
