So an organization I do some work with is in the process of putting together an annual review. Some recommendations for photos was emailed around and I thought I would share it with you.
Pictures. Many of your have provided exceptional pictures which I will happily include in the annual review. A few of you need a reminder of what makes an exceptional picture.
A person’s face is far more expressive than their back.
Random body parts, which do not belong to one of the participants in the photo are unusable.
The subject of a superb photo may look radiant and glowing- the person standing behind them making a funny face or standing with their eyes closed, draws all of the attention away from the radiant subject.
Out of focus, grainy, or distant photos are not pleasing to the eye.
Pictures which display body language which may be interpreted as sexually suggestive are not appropriate for a report to our stakeholders.
Pictures with hand/finger symbols (peace signs, etc) are not the types of pictures which are best displayed in an annual review. Expressions and emotions are quite welcome, within reason.
While a picture may say 1000 words, the picture should not say 1000 random words which do not convey a story. If a persons who was not at your event cannot tell what the picture is of/about than it is not a usable picture.
Pic 001.jpg doesn’t tell me when your picture was taken or what it is about. PLEASE follow the naming instructions
Well, not sure if you found this funny, however myself and a coworker found it very Witty.
Happy Friday
