Are you organizing an action and don't you have a photographer? Place a call in the mattermost channel of media and someone from the media circle will contact you for more information. Then they will put a call for you in the photographers group. When a photographer is found, the photographer is passed on to you.
For national actions destined for the national social media accounts of XR, the photos are emailed to contentxrnl@protonmail.com as an attachment or in case of large quantities of photos as a wetransfer link. If it is a local action then you make an appointment with the photographer where he can deliver the photos. Photos emailed to the contentxrnl address will be archived in the cloud.
¶ Are you a photographer yourself and do you want to become active for XR?
If you are a photographer and want to become active for XR you can join the photographers signal chat group. You can contact the media coordinator on mattermost. In this signal chat calls are regularly shared for actions that photographers need.
If you have taken photos in an action you can send them to contentxrnl@protonmail.com as an attachment or (in large quantities) as a transfer link. It's nice if photos for an action are delivered as soon as possible so that social media can post online soon after the action. Please indicate in the e-mail whether you would like credits as a photographer. All photos sent to this email address are also stored in the photo archive on nextcloud. The cloud also mentions whether or not you want credits.
- If possible, try to take photos especially in lying (horizontal) format; this is the standard format to deliver photos to the media, and is often more convenient to place them on social media. A few vertical pictures are nice for the stories on instagram.
- Color photos prefer black and white photos
- You can determine the image composition of your photos yourself. To give you some good examples:
- Overview shots, showing the environment of the action
- Close-up action photos
- Pictures in which the XR logo can be seen in a large group of people
- Do the rebel banners include the message of the action: Try to get a good look at it!
- Colorful, lively, bright; XR refers to an image of openness and accountability
- Diversity; in gender, ethnic origin, age, etc.
- Focus on people - for example, interactions between rebels, or rebels talking to passers-by
- Emotions of people do very well on social media
- You can deliver your photos via a file drop in NextCloud; click here to upload photos
- In the name of each file, indicate:
- The date that the photo was taken; this helps to organize the photos
- Your name (or a alias), so we know which name to mention when we place photos on social media
- Your photos will be organized and put in the photo gallery
- Do you often photograph in actions, and do you often deliver photos? Then it can be useful if you have access to the uploads folder directly from your NextCloud account. More about this is on the WikiPage for the media gallery
- Quality exceeds quantity; it is recommended not to deliver more than 20-40 photos per action (although this may vary per action). Often there are several photographers present, so the number of photos is fast
- But even if you have taken one or two pictures, we are happy with that!
