Could this work in our club?
- Residents, project participants, volunteers, partners and supporters encountering Rotary online or in print. Use when a current project has visible stages or details that photographs can explain accurately.
Before you start
- A verified story arc and shot list linked to the project's approved outcomes.
- Subject, location, image and partner-brand permissions recorded before publication.
- A photographer brief covering site safety, dignity, captions, file security and restricted areas.
At the end: Share the approved story with participants and partners, honour corrections or withdrawal requests, and review the image archive before any later reuse.
