Photography and Images

PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEOGRAPHY AND IMAGES

The visual identity for Canada’s international assistance will often be paired with photos, images, and video footage to help demonstrate the impact of Canada’s international development and humanitarian aid projects.

When sourcing images or creating content, please ensure that all participants have given their informed consent to be photographed or filmed. Take care to ensure that the content is used with the permission of photographers, illustrators or graphic artists, and that they are credited appropriately.

Look for images that portray all people in a dignified and respectful manner. When possible, feature people actively participating in programs or activities. Be careful not to perpetuate harmful stereotypes, and work to find images that are hopeful and results-focused whenever possible.
