Photography is a powerful tool for communicating science. A compelling photograph can convey the drama of fieldwork or the nuance of an experimental treatment. Yet too often communicators—whether researchers themselves or a third party—are left with photos that don’t quite capture the content of the story. In this workshop, we teach participants to think of photography first as a science storytelling tool. We teach participants to strategically plan photos useful to communication efforts down the road. We cover photography basics applicable to any camera, as well as basic photo editing skills. Attendees will then participate in a short photo shoot, where they apply the skills they learned in the workshop and receive feedback on their photos.
