12 Ways to Improve Your Photo Report Right Now
With Bill Ostendorf, founder and president, Creative Circle Media Solutions
Photos are the most-read element on every page-in print or online-and significantly impact print sales and readership.
But the effectiveness of too many photo reports these days has been hurt badly by cutbacks in staff and newshole. Too often, newsroom people with little training in how to do it well are the ones making decisions about photo use, which to select and how to crop, size and display images. This workshop will help you raise the level of your photo content-and its power to grow sales and audience. The webinar will pay particular attention to photo editing and selection, because a good photo report can be wasted without good editing-but good editing can help even a weak photo report become respectable. Ostendorf will offer practical tips you can apply tomorrow in the way you shoot, select and display photography in your newspaper or digital sites.
This session is a must for anyone who shoots, selects, sizes, crops or otherwise decides what readers and users see, which includes photographers, reporters, editors and publishers.
