Photography Guidelines

You may increase the likelihood of coverage if you have strong photos from your event. Usually, publications prefer black and white photos. Here are some tips for taking good pictures.

• Choose one photographer instead of having multiple people taking photographs. By assigning one individual, you avoid confusing and/or distracting the person(s) being photographed.
• Move in close to capture the facial expression and emotion of participants most effectively.
• Find out names of every individual who may appear in your photos and provide this information to publications when submitting your photos.
• If you have "celebrity" guests who are well-recognized in the community, try to include them in photos with event organizers.
• Make multiple prints, so you don’t have to worry about copies getting lost or misplaced.

ADVICE FROM THE FIELD
"At our Urban Youth Farm Day, kids get to interact with the farmers and ag organizations and see and touch livestock. It’s a great way to get them thinking about how important agriculture is to their everyday lives." Tyrone D. Smith, Alabama Cooperative Extension System School
