Assigning photography for visual content and charity campaigns

Overview

Panos’ industry workshops are aimed at communications, digital and media professionals wanting to
explore the methods, opportunities and challenges of working with photography and film in a
professional environment.

This workshop will focus on practical guidance for photography assignment for content and
campaigns. We will look at using professional photographers and agencies to achieve an effective
visual approach through critical and collaborative briefing, and scheduling for creative results.

With 30 years experience of working on assignment for NGOs and charities, and of initiating
umbrella campaigns, Panos’ workshops aim to share our experience with other professionals
working in the field of social justice. The workshop aims to offer commissioners new insights into
the assigning process, to equip them with the information needed to achieve better working
relationships on assignment, and facilitate better results.
