Case Study: Catholic University captures Pope Francis’ historic visit from every angle with PhotoShelter for Brands

A Different Perspective on Pope Francis’ Visit to Catholic University

Catholic University faced the challenge of documenting Pope Francis’ historic visit from a uniquely “Catholic U” perspective, despite limited access, heavy crowds, and strict security controls. Using PhotoShelter for Brands’ Libris visual asset management system, photographer Ed Pfueller and his team set out to capture and organize the event’s many moments for long-term university use.

PhotoShelter for Brands helped Catholic University upload more than 1,000 photos, add metadata, build galleries, and quickly share key images through tools like quicksend. The result was a streamlined archive for searching, sharing, and crediting images, plus immediate value when a photo was sent to a student priest; the collection will also preserve the university’s history for years to come.
