Briefing photographers for an action

Make sure to give a phone number that the M&M team can use to speak with you on the day, and that you know how to contact the M&M lead in case you have an issue with the folder / chat.

Use of photos

You will probably be taking photos for 2 main outlets - Press and Social media. Photos/video may also be useful for defence if a rebel is taken to Court.

Credit

• If you want crediting, identify your photos; & how you want to be credited. Organise this in advance.
  
  

• If no credit is necessary, M&M should use a credit, eg. “credit XR Nottingham”.

Online folders

• For each action, all photographers should use ONE Google Drive folder and ONE Signal/Telegram channel or group chat (ideally the Live Action Content Telgram channel).
  
  

• Practice uploading to the folder / chat BEFORE the action.
  
  

• Watch this tutorial to learn how to use Google Drive on your phone.
  
  

💡 Ideally, the media team will set up a folder (or chat) where you can 'dump' all your photos, and someone else will make a selection of the best shots for the press (No more than 6 photos in the Press folder).
