If you have photos or news of Ox Ridge students on field trips, enrichment programs, class celebrations, or just having a good time, let the Publicity Committee know!
Please send digital photos along with the completed
Photo Submission Form to Jennifer Fallon OR attach your photos to the form and place them in the Publicity Folder in the school office. Please note: submission does not guarantee publication.
Here are some guidelines from the newspapers to remember when taking photographs:
If you are doing a publicity picture, try to think of something pictorially interesting. Be creative. Don't take a picture of the pancake breakfast planning committee standing against the wall or sitting around a table; have members doing something, such as flipping pancakes, making decorations, or hanging lights. Often, using an unusual angle can liven up an otherwise ordinary photo.
When photographing something, get in as close as possible. If you're taking a picture of a little girl and her dog that just won a pet contest, don't stand 10 or 15 feet away. Shoot from four or five feet at the most so we can see the girl and her pet. Also, make sure that the background of the photo is not too busy. Extra people and activity in the background take the focus off the subjects.
Always include the name of the class teacher and if possible, try not to include more than 6 children per photo. All faces facing the camera must be identified by first and last name.
Thank you for helping to get Ox Ridge students in our local papers! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.
