National Cancer Survivors Day® 2023 will be a day to remember!
Here are some tips to help you capture the memories.
National Cancer Survivors Day® – Sunday, June 4 – will be filled with special moments that everyone attending your event will want to remember. And you’ll want to be sure you document them all.
While some people choose to hire a photographer for the day, you don’t have to be a professional to take great photos of your NCSD celebration. Try these tips for capturing those memorable moments from National Cancer Survivors Day® 2023:
- Tell a story. The best NCSD photos will tell the story of your celebration from start to finish. Taking photos of key moments will help build a narrative of your Celebration of Life.
- Make a plan. Before your celebration begins, think about what photos you want to take. For example, a wide shot of the crowd, a close-up of your speaker, or cancer survivors crossing a finish line. You may even want to make a list.
- Embrace the candid. Candid shots of people caught up in the moment capture the spirit of NCSD much better than posed photos in front of the same background.
- Catch the action. A photo will always be still, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be lively. Pictures of people doing something – laughing, dancing, giving hugs, lighting a candle – are much more interesting than photos of people sitting still or posing unnaturally.
- Be selective. With digital cameras, it’s easy to take hundreds of photos at one event. But that doesn’t mean you should post them all. Spend a little time picking out the best shots to post or share. And make sure you send them to Coping magazine!
Your NCSD photos could be featured in Coping.
