Photo Editors

Photo Editor(s)

Love your assigned photogs. Make them feel special. Many of them are just starting out and are REALLY excited. Make them feel they belong! Create name plates for their cubby. Find out what they’re interested in and ask them about it. If they’re in a sport or an activity, go see them. (You don’t have to stay the whole time, just make sure they see you.) If they work at Chipotle or Target, go see them, even if you just get a drink. Work to keep the enthusiasm going while also teaching them how to use their cameras. Reward their work with little notes or cookies or gum or cupcakes or even a hug.

Specific responsibilities: • Organizing all of the cameras. Each cubby should have a camera, charger, kit lens and cleaning kit. Maintain the notebook of photographer contracts. • Know your camera. Understand how it works and be able to teach others. • Understand the unique benefits of different lenses and which are more appropriate for various events. • Understand Google Drive File Stream and how to utilize it. • Help your assigned photographers sign up for events on

Trello. • Create a Wall of Fame, HOTT File, prizes, certificates, money, OK not money, but SOME genuine form of recognition and praise for awesome photos. • Work with managing editors and the design Section Editors to divide up the Media Days for sports and other performing groups. • Create a schedule for posting to social media. • Model the use of class time as “work on yearbook” time. • Work with the managing editors and the Design Editors to communicate with spread designers to ensure awesome photos for every page. • Attend events with photogs during 1st quarter to help with angles, maintaining professionalism, camera adjustments, etc…
