Graphics Services

Photography Services
The VIC Photo mission is to provide photo documentation of significant events, functions, and training, on and off post and provide official photography such as DA photos, Head and Shoulder and Chain of Command photos. All requests must be submitted at the Visual Information Ordering Site.
Official DA Photo
It is the mission and responsibility of VIC to ensure that all Fort Knox military personnel receive the best official military personnel (DA 201) photograph possible to reflect credit upon the soldier and the U.S. Army. Only authorized VIC activities may take official DA photographs, as required by AR 640-30. VIC activities will take active measures to ensure the accuracy and integrity of all digital official DA photographs. The photographer will not give the soldier a digital file copy.
The only uniform authorized for official photographs is the Class-A (Blue or Green) Army Service Uniform. To ensure the highest quality image is taken, the soldier is responsible for ensuring that his or her uniform fits properly and that all ribbons/medals are correctly displayed for official military photographs. The VIC photographer will take two DA images of each soldier. The soldier will have the opportunity to approve their choice of these two. If neither of these is acceptable, the photographer will immediately take two more exposures if the discrepancy has been resolved. The soldier will then have the opportunity to approve one of these two. There will be no further re-shoots. Re-shoots will only be done if images are damaged or if major discrepancies are identified, such as unacceptable levels of moiré (object stair-stepping) in digital photographs. Natural wrinkles from wearing of the uniform are acceptable per AR 640-30 and are not justification for a re-shoot. Reshoots will only be authorized with the submission of a written request from the Soldier's Commanding Officer.
