Taking Photographs
Governance:
Photographs are very important because they draw attention to your story. People want to see what actually happened, and visuals make the piece more interesting and captivating to the reader. Here are some tips to think about when taking your photographs:
•When using a digital camera, set it to the highest resolution so that your pictures will be of the best quality.
•Take pictures of people actively volunteering, rather than posing. Interesting action shots are more visually appealing.
•Try to take photos that include different types of people, i.e. young and old, volunteers from different ethnicities, etc.
•Get a different angle by standing on a chair or kneeling on the floor.
•Make sure that the sun is behind you, or place your subjects out of bright sunlight, maybe under some trees.
