FAQs

Vantine Imaging understands that there are situations that may arise that prevent all fraternity or sorority members from attending the scheduled composite photography session.  In order to best meet your needs, our onsite university photography team will provide you with alternate times and locations for make-ups on the day of photography. If your organization happens to be the last group scheduled before our team leaves your campus, your scheduling coordinator will notify you in advance of some alternate locations.

Our composite photography team typically arrives 45 minutes prior to the start of photography. They will need this time to get their equipment set up, complete some necessary paperwork and answer any questions that you may have regarding the session.

In order to get the very best photographs, Vantine Imaging requires the room to measure 20’x20’x8’.  If the room has windows, they must have blinds, shades or drapes so no direct light filters in to interfere with the camera.  We also require a medium sized table that can be moved and 2 chairs.

The Greek composite officer is not required for the entire session, although we do find that it helps the process go smoothly. Our representatives will need to meet with the composite officer for approximately 10 minutes before the photography session and again at the end of the photography session to complete the necessary paperwork.

If the composite officer is unable to be present before or after the photography session as required, it will be necessary to appoint an alternate officer to meet with our team.
