Capture powerful moments on camera and help beat blood cancer

  • Create a warm atmosphere by engaging with supporters.
  • Follow briefs for candid and posed event shots.
  • Edit images (resize, retouch, colour correct).

What you’ll bring

  • A DSLR or high-quality digital camera.
  • Your own kit for photography and editing, including software.
  • A good eye for capturing special, impactful moments.
  • Confidence to work on your own and take the lead when needed.
  • Friendly and comfortable connecting with all kinds of people.
  • Some experience using photo editing tools.
  • Ability to follow a brief (nice to have, but not a must).
