Photo tips

• Have a plain background for your photos and try not to have too much going on - unless you’re setting a scene. Close up photos are usually more powerful than trying to capture your whole event in one photo.
• Wear Lymphoma Action t-shirts or running vests in photos when possible. Or ensure your branded decorations are within the frame.
• Training photos show a huge part of your story, so capture photos of you running, cycling, swimming, in the gym or wherever else you may be!
• Make sure that if you are sharing your photos with us, you send the original or full size image- from your phone or tablet you can choose the size you send or you can use wetransfer.com to send large files for free.
• If there is official photography at your event, it's always worth purchasing to remember your day. If not, make sure you recruit your best friend or family photographer!
• Try to get lots of different shots, including 'action’ shots if you are running, swimming etc or behind the scenes photos as you set up your venue
• Capturing your event on camera isn't easy, but close up shots of smiling faces, prizes, decorations, your venue, the food-all with Lymphoma Action branding in sight, is a great start.

We would love to see your photos! Please tag us in any social media posts @LymphomaAction and if you would be happy for us to use them in our materials (online and offline) please email/transfer them to fundraising@lymphoma-action.org.uk.

Good luck with your fundraising and thank you in advance for your support - together we can make sure no one faces their lymphoma alone.
