Photography

UWA's picturesque campus makes it a popular location for filming and photography. With a diverse range of locations indoors and out, UWA has been the setting for many print and TV adverts, short films and student projects.

Private photography and filming
The University campus is open to the public to enjoy at any time. Non-commercial photography and filming for personal use is permitted provided it causes no disruption to others.
Photography as part of a campus wedding ceremony
Wedding ceremonies on campus include a complimentary 1-hour photography ticket. Find out more about having your wedding ceremony at UWA.
Commercial photography for private use

Such as wedding photography.

Commercial photography for private use, whether by you or by a photographer you engage, requires a Photography Ticket, bought online. On the day, patrolling security staff will ask to see your Ticket.

Photography Tickets are only available when the University schedule allows. Exams, graduation ceremonies and other major events will take precedence. Tickets are valid for 1 hour on a specific day and there is a cap on the number of Tickets issued each day.
