Photography team founder
NorthPark Baptist Church, Trussville
An official photography team provides a natural way for churches to care for members as well as guests and potential members. It works best to establish a basic set of guidelines and routines that are followed consistently.
Name a point person to lead the team who has an appreciation and working knowledge of photography and is amiable, dependable and organized.
Point person
Communicate with church staff and laypeople about how to schedule a photography team member to cover an event or take photos of a person or people. It is best for everyone to work through the point person, who then makes the assignments based on team members’ schedules and abilities.
The best team members are those who enjoy photography as a hobby and want more experience, photographers with an above-average level of knowledge who have their own equipment and those who are semi-professional photographers and willing to share their skills.
Professional photographers in your church would be good resources for annual educational workshops and team-building experiences.
All should consider the role a ministry opportunity and not attempt to sell subjects on their services.
And getting the photos delivered within 24 hours is always best.
