Bring your grids, feeds and reports to life with eye-catching photo storytelling.
Whether you want eye-catching snaps for your Instagram grid, engaging documentary shots for reports and newsletters, or portrait images that tell a story, our photography training can help you up your visual storytelling game.
This course is particularly well-suited as a group training course for frontline staff and volunteers who have more regular daily contact with your work and impact. This can be delivered online or in the room, but for the best impact we recommend face-to-face so an on location practical element can be incorporated into the training.
