FAQ
Photography for the "We create impact" employer branding campaign
It’s the people who make the difference. A visual style featuring unique lighting and a futuristic feel creates an unmistakable, instantly recognizable look. Modern, forward-looking, and clear—yet memorable, motivating, and open and friendly. In the photography, the focus was particularly on the lighting, the composition, and the subjects’ line of sight. A conscious decision was made to avoid having the subjects look directly into the camera. The subjects look slightly upward, toward the future. The photographers from the Media Production department collaborated with the Marketing department to produce the photography for this project.
"We—KIT"
As part of KIT’s 200th anniversary, the Media Production department was part of the project team for the campaign “We – KIT”. This campaign promoted appreciation and recognition within our institution. KIT employees had the opportunity to nominate colleagues whom they particularly value and respect. Whether for their helpfulness, their infectious laughter, their creativity, their reliability, or their positive contributions to the team.
From nearly 500 nominations, the project team selected 50 individuals who were featured throughout the anniversary year. On a weekly basis, a poster featuring a photo of a colleague was displayed at numerous locations on the campus and throughout Karlsruhe.
The photographers from the Media Production department helped develop the visual concept and handled the photography for the entire campaign. The staff members at the media database were responsible for scheduling appointments and organizing the visual media.
Event photography for the anniversary ceremony
At a ceremony on February 20, 2025, more than 2,000 guests celebrated the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) as a place of research, teaching and innovation that has an impact far beyond the region. High-ranking representatives of the federal and state governments as well as top representatives of German and international business and science praised KIT as a unique institution of its kind in Germany, combining a university and a large-scale research center. As an important research and educational institution, it contributes significantly to the attractiveness of Baden-Württemberg and Germany as science locations.
