Do It Yourself

If we are unable to attend your event or you are taking photos for an internal publication, below are some tips to keep in mind. 

  • Put the subject in a relevant context and environment.
  • Capture moments of real emotion: tenacity, spirit, challenge and achievement.
  • Capture action and energy but keep the photo casual in attitude.
  • Avoid posing subjects. Let them move around, perform their job and get comfortable.
  • Strive for a feeling of vitality.
  • Try for a “natural” feeling, as if the subject is unaware of the camera.
