As a result of prior agreements coming to their natural expiration dates, Procurement and Strategic Sourcing, along with Marketing & Communications, conducted a Strategic Sourcing RFP to select a group of preferred photographers to service the university. This effort resulted in four photographers being awarded contracts for the upcoming three year period. Each photographer has agreed to the same standard hourly rate for services. This will enable campus users to make a selection based on the photographer's portfolio and availability. The Marketing and Communications Office will make additional information available on each of the photographers at http://mac.wayne.edu/photography.

Outlined below is the process for securing a photographer for your next event. Each departmental unit has the opportunity to select from any of the awarded vendors. Below are important steps to guide you through the process.

1. Visit http://mac.wayne.edu/photography for a list of the available photographers and tips for scheduling a successful photography assignment.
2. Contact the photographer directly to ensure availability for your event.
3. Use the Photography Services form located on the home page in WayneBuy to create a purchase order. This form will help you create a requisition that details all of the necessary information for your event to be a success. Please complete the form in its entirety.
