Decide on the purpose and story

 An image can communicate so many more messages than just text. For example, to make an impactful photoshoot, decide on the purpose and how the story will be told. This will ensure your photoshoot has a successful purpose/storyline.

Think about the style and focal points 

 To pique interest, ensure there’s a variety of subjects and focal points. Vary the viewpoint, take scene and close-up settings, this will allow the audience to see your viewpoint and clear focal setup.

Use a mood board

 Professional photographers may be able to point and shoot, but most charity managers don’t have that expertise. To get a sense of the kind of photoshoot you want to organize, create a mood board to allow your ideas flow. For example, Pinterest is a platform that can help managers search and pin target images, which will allow you to see clear ideas to develop over time, if needed to change or add. 

Concepts for fundraising

The photoshoot can be informal or part of another event. For example, opportune moments during a fundraising race, pub quiz, or social event paints an honest and fun image for charities. This will really boost the event, and also make sure to take rough photos and videos, just to ensure you have different moods across the shoot for your concept. This content can be valuable for behind-the-scenes too, just to get the perfect shot into the real scene. 

What’s the location? 

Location is very important, particularly in terms of lighting, mood, and background. For example, scouting a place that reflects the charity might include traveling outside of the office, another city, or abroad. This way you get to have the right mood set across your scene whilst ensuring the right background, and light are both equally set. 

Choosing a photoshoot set 

You might decide there’s no need to be on location and that a set works best. For example, basic digital and hardware work well for charities on a shoestring budget. In terms of equipment, a tripod, lighting, and background yields the cleanest shots.
