Taking Photos
- Photos taken with a phone are fine. There is no need to use a stand-alone camera.
- Take a lot of photos and browse through to find a few that you think capture your event well.
- Take a variety of photos.
- Try turning your phone horizontally for a wider photo.
- Be mindful of what is in the background—remove any trash on desks—tuck in any loose computer cords, etc.
- Try to take flattering photos when you can i.e., avoid taking pictures of people while they’re eating or drinking, or looking down etc.
- Take photos that are appropriate for school use—no signs of alcohol, wearing other school clothing, or anything else that could be deemed inappropriate. Exercise your professional judgment.
