personality and creativity, in a professional manner

our new online platform – ideally with an option to host a hands on workshop
with top tips for creatives to take their own images, with low tech
requirements
- Performances, to take photos of live action, showcasing the vibrancy of
the event, audience reactions and performers’ skills.
WHAT THE PHOTOS ARE FOR
Photos will be used on the new Rochdale Creates Directory website, to showcase
talent, spaces and activities happening in the borough as a whole and for specific
organisations / freelancers. Photos may also be used for specific marketing
campaigns by the individual organisations / freelancers, Rochdale Creates and its
partners.
HOW IT WILL WORK
