Consent is everything
If someone is praying, crying, or in counseling space, assume no photo unless you have received clear permission from them and from your media lead. Kids: extra caution—follow team policy and parental consent rules.
Let your conversation be always full of grace. — Colossians 4:6 (NIV)
What you will capture
Atmosphere
Wide shots of the tent, signage, crowds—faces optional or blurred.
B-roll
Hands, feet walking, banners—story without exposing private pain.
Interviews
Only with signed or verbal consent per your lead process.
Quick policy reminders
- ● Submit files the way your team requests (naming, cloud folder).
- ● If asked to delete—delete, without debate.
Do
- Introduce yourself as media team when approaching people.
- Capture diversity: ages, nations, styles—respectfully.
- Back up clips the same day if possible.
Avoid
- Sneaking shots of vulnerable moments for authenticity.
- Blocking volunteers or guests with gear in tight spaces.
- Adding misleading captions to real footage.

Someone says no after I already took the photo
Honor that immediately. Delete in front of them if they want, and apologize briefly. Relationship beats clip.
The lighting is terrible
Embrace it—authentic beats glossy. Adjust ISO, find open shade, or shoot moody B-roll. Do not blast a flash in someones face during prayer.
