City Hope.
Welcome.
If you have been shooting a camera forever and call our Photo Team home or if you just took some pictures with your phone for recollection and to share, this is the place to be.
Shooting.
(General Things to Keep in Mind)
We make sure we’re shooting in a way that is honoring and respectful to whatever/whomever we are shooting
Make sure that people being photographed are okay with them being photographed and that their image is used for church purposes only.
Feel free to move around and get creative with angles and perspectives of how we tell the stories we see
Always shoot BTS. Usually the best stories are found off the platform. Look around, turn around to see whatever no one is seeing.
If there's a Holy Spirit prompting to capture something, pursue it (in a respectful and relentless way).
Overshooting is okay if it helps you feel safe about capturing good expressions (knowing that you’ll be the one culling afterwards).
After-Shooting Kit.
You just shot incredible images of the hands and feet of Jesus in action.
THANK YOU.
We hope it was as impactful to you as it will be for the eyes who will see these images.
The next step is to upload the photos to one of the following links (according to campus) in order for them to be properly stored and shared with team for them to be worked with.
