WE NEED YOU!
We need to photograph all the baby carriers in our library, would you be interested in volunteering to model for us?
We are planning a few photo days and are looking for people to come and wear our baby carriers and be photo'd 14th April and the 27th April in Bishops Castle.
(also, if you are a photographer or are just really good at taking photos, we are not haha! and any assistance would be EXTREMELY appreciated)
WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE DAY
We will either be using a large meeting room or set up outside if the weather is good, and will set up a back drop, light and a tripod and camera to take photos.
There will be lots of carriers of all different types out, and you can pick whichever ones you want to try. Buckle carriers, ring slings, woven wraps, stretchies, close caboos, and more!
Its up to you if you model with your baby or with one of our weighted dolls, either is fine!
Laura and Kate, our babywearing consultants, will be there helping people in and out of baby carriers, and making sure everything is fitted well and safely.
There is a kitchen, with free tea, coffee etc available (all the decafs and milk alternatives also), and of course, lots of biscuits!
We will ask you to sign a declaration saying we can use the photographs on our website, social media, and print materials. (We will keep this in a file in our storeroom, and a photo of the form on our cloud based IT storage. )
Lots of laughter and fun, and possibly (probably) chaos as we realise we are not photographers !
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH THE PHOTOS?
Mainly it will be to list the many, many, many carriers we have in our library online. But we also would like to use them in the future as stock photos for our social media, print materials, website and general advertising. We are a non profit, and we exist to support people carrying their babies, but we can do that better if we can get our voice out into the world, and good imagery can really help with that.
