Telling Stories With Photos

Improve your photo-taking skills
Especially if your nonprofit is relying on you for photography (even if that isn't a skill you claimed to have when hired), strive to improve. If you search online for something as basic as "picture taking improve," you'll bring up dozens of helpful websites.

Respect others
If you are taking a photo of a person, get a written release. "Sure, no problem" could prove to be a problem if the person decides the end result (photo) made him or her look fat, old, tired or whatever. And while he or she may not initially object, will having his or her face plastered all over the Internet become an issue? Ask permission, explain how you plan to use the photo and always thank the subjects.
