Auburn Athletics provides their own team of photographers to cover sporting events. However, our photographers attend some athletic events to shoot the atmosphere for general university use.

Current photo shoots are uploaded to AU Image Library and are available to view and access for 3-5 years. Due to storage limits, images are removed and archived for long-term storage on external drives. Communicators are encouraged to download and save images from photo shoots to avoid retrieval fees. Historical images are available indefinitely in AU Image Library.

Prints can be ordered online through the AU Image Library.
