Campaign photos

Show your support by taking a campaign photo. Here are some tips:

• Make sure the photo is landscape (horizontal).

• Take a photo of a person or group of people holding the campaign poster/s.

• Make sure your fingers aren’t covering any of the text and that you’re looking straight at the camera.

• Take the photo in the place where you’re campaiging eg. in front of your local food bank, community centre, school, council office, or on your local high street.

• Take the photo in daylight or natural light.

• Don’t get too close up. Aim to have the poster in the centre of the image with some space around the person.
